Q&A

GOUND MAINTENANCE AIRFIELD/STAGEFIELD

W9124G-16-B-0002

Q1) Will there be a walk thru or viewing of the project prior to bid date?

A1) A site visit is scheduled please see amendment on FBO for details.

Q2) On the section B supplies or services and prices pages many of them have (each) listed under the UNIT item. How do you determine what (each) consists of? Example;

on page 2 item no. 0001AA it has a QUANTITY of 6 and UNIT of each. I interpret that to mean performing the work stated in sections 5.2.1 and 5.2.3 of the (PWS) on all improved ground NDBs and TVORs one time to determine the desired UNIT PRICE and then multiply by the QUANTITY of 6 for you AMOUNT. Is that correct?

A2) Changed CLINs 0001AA through 0001AP "UNIT" from "EACH" to "JOB".

Contractor shall determine total cost to perform identified requirement, as identified in the PWS and "J" section, ONE time to establish unit cost.

Q3) On that same item no. 0001AA it states (other small sites) is there a way to determine how many other small sites there are and their size and location?

A3) See Section "J" page J-C3-22, second chart, page J-C3-23 for locations

(Latitude and Longitude), and pages J-C3-24 to 32 for aerial photos of locations.

The location for Echo Radar Site is Lat=31.460525, Lon=85.459205.

Q4) Is there a way to determine the size of the trees and shrubs to be trimmed throughout contract?

A4) Estimated average size of shrubs are 3 feet or less. Very few above that height (less than 50). Estimated height of pruned Crepe Myrtles are 4 feet or less.

Q5) There appears to be a misprint on page J-C7-1 paragraph 2.2 the (17-17-17) rate cannot be 30 tons per acre. Please advise of what to do in this matter. I think it is supposed to read 300 lbs. per acre.

A5) Changed "30 tons per acre" to "300 LBS per acre". Change CLIN 0001AR to read "Apply EXTRA Fertilizer (17-17-17@300 LB/AC)".

Q6) On page J-C-3 section 5.1 and 5.2, does the person with the agronomy or weed science degree need a minimum of (6) years total experience in the field or (6) years post graduate experience?

A6) Changed the first sentence in section 5.2 to read: "The program manager shall in addition to the certification requirement of paragraph 5.1 above, have a minimum of a Bachelor of Science degree in turf management, agronomy or weed science and a minimum of six (6) years' "POST GRADUATE" experience in the use of herbicides and/or growth regulators in the management of turf grass."

Q7) Who is the current contractor? What is the current annual contract price? Are there any changes in the scope of the PWS from the previous contract to this solicitation?

A7) Fort Benning did not issue or am administering the last contract please contact Chris Martin Contracting Officer/Team Lead MICC-Fort Rucker christopher.w.martin24.civ@mail.mil

Q8) Please confirm that paragraph 5.0 of J-C7 is the only section that should be used when providing proof of experience in the use of herbicides and/or growth regulators

A8) Yes

A9) Section 1.9 reads “one (1) Base Year of 12 months and two (2) 12 month option years.”

Q9) Section 1.9 changed to read “one (1) Base Year of 12 months and FOUR (4) 12 month option years.”
