This Q&A Release document is associated with the County of Los Angeles Department of Parks and Recreation's Request for Statements of Qualifications (RFSQ) for As-Needed Aquatic Weed and Algae Growth Control Services. The RFSQ aims to establish a Master Agreement consolidating all aquatic weed and algae growth control services for multiple Department lake facilities under a single agreement.

A contact list was provided at the conference to schedule site visits, and contractors were encouraged to submit questions prior to or during the conference, as responses to further inquiries after the conference may not be possible.
