NOTE - This solicitation requires offerors to enter a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) score in the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) prior to responding to this solicitation.

https://www.sprs.csd.disa.mil/pdf/SPRS_Access_Instructions.pdf

1. Will there be any option to herbicide guardrails, fences along the houses or any other areas?

No, Herbicide is handled by a separate contract, it is covered in this contract however to weed trim the guard rail and fence areas.

2. What options, if any, are there to store a tractor within the fenced in area of Corp office or somewhere else?

There are no options to store contractor equipment on Government property, equipment may be left on site in the work area during the scheduled mowing timeframe, however it is up to the Contractors discretion to do so as USACE will not be held responsible should something occur to Contractor equipment.

3. In regards to the additional acreage that was not on last year’s contract to the west of lake ridge parkway...is there additional fences that need to be weed trimmed along lake ridge parkway or any other areas within this area?

Yes, there is the boundary fence along lake ridge parkway that will need to be weed trimmed, the rest can be covered with the mowing equipment.

4. Is there any additional fence lines from last year’s contract that need to be weed trimmed? If so where and are there any options for herbicide spraying?

Again, herbicide is covered in a different contract, as for fence areas needing trimmed, at this time the only addition is that along lake ridge parkway.

5. Section 3.7.2.3 is this supposed to be 34 degrees?

Yes, that should say degrees not percentage.

6. Is the mowing at Joe Pool Lake is with large tractor mowing or smaller commercial zero turn mowers.

The answer is large tractor mowing however, the slope requires a specific type of tractor stated in the PWS 3.7.2.3; "Contractor is required to use a tractor equipped with dual rear wheels to mow the top portion of the Embankment (steeper part, between the levee and access road of the Embankment). Contractor is required to use a tractor that is capable of operating a 36% slope (1:2.8) WITHOUT DAMAGE TO THE EMBANKMENT. Contractor MUST provide proof of this capability through a letter from the manufacturer or by providing a copy of the O&M Manual which certifies this capability for the specific tractor used. Using equipment not certified for the embankment slope may cause damage to the embankment, and the contractor will be held liable for repairs."

7. The previous contractor was Dark Canyon LLC, the total of the contract was $356K and the contract number was W8126G18D0034 which can be found on FBO.

8. The acreage measurement is roughly 360 acres in total for the Joe Pool Dam mowing area, please note this was measured off of the Google Earth's measurement tool and is not a proper survey measurement.

9. There is not an option to have a site visit other than what is stated in the solicitation, 25 Oct 21.
