CONTINUATION PAGE

The following questions were received from Potential Quoters, along with the corresponding answers:

Question 1 – Will the Government require any specific lab testing or certification (e.g., documentation of pH levels, organic matter content) prior to acceptance of each delivery?

Answer 1 – No, the government is not requiring any lab testing or certification.

Question 2 – If any portion of the delivered topsoil is found non-compliant with contract specifications, what is the Government’s process for formally rejecting it, and how quickly is the Contractor required to replace it?

Answer 2 – If the Government rejects a delivery, the Government representative will not sign or accept any delivery tickets. A written rejection can be provided if the Contractor requests it. The Contractor will need to replace the rejected delivery within three (3) business days.

Question 3 – Will invoicing be structured per delivery, monthly, or under another schedule, and is there a standard timeframe within which the Contractor can expect payment?

Answer 3 – The Contractor shall invoice within 30 days after each delivery. The payment terms are Net 30.
