- Description
- Questions and Answers: Q1:�Is the 6 acres to be cut using a bush-hog in the original 16 acres? And can this be cut to a desirable height�using�a large commercial mower? A1:�There is 4 acres of just open field. I am not saying a large commercial mower can�t do it. The contractor needs to make sure his equipment is suitable and dependable for the task required. Q2: In the SOW it mentions the services to onclude digging and trim - where is this to be done and what will need to be trim? A2:�The SOW does not mention anything about digging. The only trimming that will need to take place is around the Main Building, League Building, and sidewalks/parking lot. The location will take care of spraying herbicides in the areas needed. Q3: Also, in regards to the fallen branches, if they are large branches or a tree that require a saw to breakdown is this something we maintain?� A3:�If the vendor come across any branch that needs to be cut, they will need to notify the location representative. The location representative will take care of it.
