1. N/A
SECTION II: QUESTIONS
1. QUESTION: In regards to the following 3 Special Ditches / Stormwater Treatment
Facility, the mowing frequency is 3 times per year, 1 time per year and 1 time per
year respectively. Is the City of Sebastian or another contractor also providing
mowing services for these locations throughout the year as well?
Special Ditches / Stormwater Treatment Facility:
Laconia Ditch - Mow 3 times per year
Day Dr to Retention Pond & Pond at Day Dr - Mow 1 time per year (at the City's
discretion)
Stormwater Treatment Facility- Mow 1 time per year (at the City's discretion)
ANSWER: No other contractors will be used for mowing purposes; however, the
City can supplement work with City staff at the discretion of the City.
If indeed the City of Sebastian or another contractor is providing mowing services
for these locations throughout the year, how often are mowing services being
provided throughout the year for each location?
We are trying to figure out how much overgrowth we will be finding in each location.
ANSWER: No other contractors will be used for mowing purposes; however, the
City can supplement work with City staff at the discretion of the City .
2. QUESTION: Once the contract is awarded, if at any time during the fiscal year
funding is not sufficient to cover the amount, of estimated cycles stated on the bid,
does the City of Sebastian continue to mow the locations in -house? Or are the
cycles completely skipped and shortened due to insufficient funds? We are trying
to factor in the possibility of finding overgrowth if funds are not sufficient.
