W15QKN-21-R-5030 – Grounds Maintenance

Ashley, PA (PA004) & Wilkes-Barre, PA (PA179)

Question 1: The mowing quantity is 16 and the trimming is 8. Usually these two go together in quantity since it is standard to trim around immediately following the mow. Is this correct?

Response: Mowing and Trimming are separate Contract Line Items (CLINs) as stated in the solicitation, and need to be treated as such. Refer to the Performance Work Statement (PWS) Paragraph’s 5.4.1 “MOWING”, and 5.4.3 “Trimming”.

Question 2: Also with the mowing quantity at 16 would reflect a biweekly cut at best. With that is the expectation the trimmings be bagged since the grass will be higher and thicker with that timeline?

Response: Refer to the Performance Work Statement (PWS) Paragraph 5.4.1 “MOWING”; "All clumps and/or clippings must be removed within four (4) hours after being cut. "Grass will be cut approximately every 14 days".

Question 3: PA004 has pricing for maintaining retention ponds. I do not see any on the map. Please identify.

Response: Please refer to the site map for PA004. Retention pond is located to the far right of the MAP, 10,232 S.F is on the retention pond location.
