Questions and Answers for W912EK‐16‐T‐0017 – Levee Mowing – Lake Red Rock Project, Knoxville, IA

Question 1: Carlisle, the short stretch of levee by TMC Auto body, I don't recall noticing any posts out there will the 4 spots be marked prior to mowing? And like wise following the levee to the east by the RR tracks there are spots for hand trimming, it's not clear to me what we should trim around. Lastly for Carlisle the vey north western end of the levee there is a straight line to be trimmed is that along the brush?

Answer 1: The blue dots on the map near TMC Auto body AND railroad tracks are culverts. They are easily identifiable in the field. There currently is some woody vegetation in these areas that will be removed by others.

We then intend to have the area maintained through mowing and trimming with this contract.

The very north western end of the Carlisle levee is brush, but there is a fence in the brush. The brush will be removed by others. We then intend to have the area maintained through mowing and trimming with this contract.

Question 2: SE DSM and SWP‐Hill the Hand trimming along the Mid American fence, are we trimming both sides of that fence and if so will we be given access?

Answer 2: We only want trimming performed on the levee side of the Mid‐American fence.
