Q1: In the PWS it states that - TRIMMING: When applicable and specified as line item. All areas of the site must be properly trimmed during the period of performance as specified in PWS 5.3 schedule of work, or as directed by the COR/RFOS. Trimming shall occur once a month within the Northern Region (CT, DE, ME, MA, NH, NJ, NY, PA, RI & VT) from April to November which equates to a quantity of 8. Trimming shall occur once a month within the Southern Region (MD, VA & WV) from March to November which equates to a quantity of 9. Trimming shall include but not limited to all walks, both sides of fence lines, 10 ft outside of fence line to easement of 99th property, plazas, and roadway curbs adjoining turf areas shall be cleanly trimmed and consistently maintained throughout the growing season.

My question is, in the solicitation, all the line item locations are in Schenectady, NY. So does the trimming apply?

A1: Yes, the trimming would apply as the location is in NY. This CLIN would need to be performed 8 times per period of performance.

Q2: Just to clarify, the trimming once a month will only be needed in NY, or our price should include trimming once a month in all these different states?

A1: No, the trimming will only be done at the location specified in the Solicitation, which will be in Schenectady, NY. The once monthly trimming will only be needed in Schenectady, NY.
