Question 1
Posted: 8/5/2024
Question: Scope section 2, item 4 – “Any large litter spills shall be picked up immediately upon notification by the Town. Notify Public Services of any significant issues.” - Please confirm clean up of this type will be billed outside of contract at an hourly rate or agreed upon project price. Impossible to predict what this could entail to project inclusion of proper labor time in contract. Scope section 6, item b - “b. Dead Plant Material: The Contractor shall be responsible for notifying the Town of any dead plant material and, upon instruction by the Town, removing the material.” - Please confirm any plant removal will be billed at n hourly rate or agreed upon project price. Impossible to predict what this could entail to project inclusion of proper labor time in contract. Please define width of right of ways The specifications call for a class A type turf chemical program including pre/post emergents, fertilization, and insect and disease control. The roadways do not appear to be receiving this type of treatment currently and beginning a program like this will likely create widespread bare dirt patches by killing off weeds while encouraging existing warm season turf types to spread and fill in over time. Is that the intention with this specification? Is the current contract performing under this same turf specification? Regarding the boilerplate contract: - Please provide commensurate termination terms for both town and contractor. Would request minimum 30 day notice required as well.
Response: See Addendum 1.
