Ground Maintenance
Kerrville, TX
The SOW states that the contractor is responsible for disposal of trash, debris, and clippings, while Q&A A3 indicates that trash, debris, and organic material too large for the facility dumpsters must be hauled off. May the contractor use the facility dumpsters for normal clippings/debris that fit, with off-site haul-off required only for oversized material?
Small trash and clippings that fit the dumpster can be put in the dumpster but items that are to large will be responsibility of the contractor to dispose of offsite.
The SOW identifies the performance window as Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–4:30 PM, while the Q&A states scheduled facility access will be Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–4:00 PM. Could you please confirm the authorized daily performance window?
Monday through Friday 8am to 4 pm is the performance window and all work should be completed no later than 4pm.
There was a google map with the areas highlighted in the solicitation for the vendors to reference and I have specified in past questions that the area is roughly 5 acres.
