Is this bond a requirement to be built into the base bid and subsequent years? This adds to the cost of the proposal and is that taken into consideration? Answer: Do not include the bond price in the price proposal. The Government retains the right to ask for such bond and if the Government will decide to request for it before an award, the Government will pay for the additional costs of the bond. 5.Is this a low bid award? Are factors such as past performance at National Historic sites considered? Answer: This is a best value award.

Answer: The COR will determine how many headstones will be identified for raise / realignment each year and will provide the Contractor with the specific headstones. Advanced notice will be given. 7.Can we provide a salt application to eliminate ice or does it have to be a liquid? Answer: Calcium chloride or rock salt can be used and it does not have to be a liquid. 8.Does the VA provide Mulch for the locations or is it up to the vendor?
