QUESTION 2. Regarding the Gate PWS for Navarro Mills it states in paragraph 1.3 a 4-day working period.

Maximum size of the trailer is determined by physical limitations of the site furnished. It will be located near the entrance to the park at a location to be designated by the Lake Manager.” Due to the contract being a (12) Month Period, but having a 4-day work week, would the “RV,” as described above, need to be moved from the Park Property at the end of the 4 -day workweek, or will it be able to be stationed there for the entire (12) Month Period?
