Government Answer:
PWS Paragraph 5.5.2 has been updated. The fire lanes in wooded areas and fire zones are required to be mowed.
4 PWS / 22 / 5.7.6.2
If inspection of the landfill caps identifies ponding/settling on the surface or erosion of the cap and drainage, will these repairs to the cap or drainage around the landfills be considered under the Emergency Repairs CLIN as opposed to “maintenance”? If these tasks are required as “maintenance” under the Firm Fixed Price CLIN, then this forces bidders to build in risk in order to provide a cost for the import and placement (difficulty of access to the site, site characteristics including whether fill is placed on flat ground or sloped surface, unknown number and type of equipment required for placement such as dozers, rollers, skid steers…including mobilization, etc…) of unknown quantities of material. The cost of this task is also highly dependent on weather and the existing quality of construction of the landfill caps.
What does the government consider “maintenance” of landfills?
