Question:

Will there be a schedule provided?

Answer:

A schedule will be provided prior to the start of each month. As our recreation starts up and closes down, not all parks and recreation areas are open at the same time. As areas open/begin closing, not all of the lift stations will need to be checked each rotation. Some rotations may only involve checking mission important lift stations. Line item prices and total budget will also affect inspections.

Question:

Could we get a site map with all the lift stations?

Answer:

Because of the size of the lake project, there is not a map of all of the lift stations. A map of this size would not be detailed enough to show exact locations. Area maps with locations may be provided at the Lake Shelbyville Project Office. A lake map with recreation areas can be found on the USACE Lake Shelbyville website.

Question:

What is the age of the lift stations and does the corps have operating manuals on all the stations?

Answer:

The age of the lift stations vary greatly across the project, with periodic updates and replacements happening. The oldest lift stations were installed around the late 1970’s/early 1980’s. No, we do not have operation manuals for all of these lift stations.

Question:

Who cuts the grass at the lagoons and spray fields?

Answer:

Grass is maintained by a different contractor that mows grass at several recreation areas. The contractor for this contract is not responsible for mowing the grass at the lagoons and spray fields, but will have to coordinate the spray schedule with the COR so that the mowing contractors have access to mow.

Do I have to send 2 copies of the entire document or just certain pages?
