VA Response See response to Question 8 above. Question: The Scope calls out to grade adjacent area with topsoil and hydro-seed, and to water until 3 high with no bare spots. Are you saying you want us to figure on sending someone and watering all areas of seeded areas every day until grass is 3 high? If so we can include this but need to know is there water readily available at all locations where grass will be planted, or do we need to figure on bringing in a water truck? This seems like something that may be better handled by the VA maintenance/grounds crew, but we can include this if you are confirming it DOES need to be included. VA Response: Yes, the contractor is responsible for leaving the grass areas in the same condition as when the project starts. Water may be available at some locations. *All dimensions are approximate and must be field verified by the contractor.
