QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS TO REQUEST FOR BIDS FOR MAINTENANCE AND LANDSCAPING & SERVICES

 Q: does your municipality have a soils test that states 50 lbs of lime is required per 1000 sq. feet?

A: Please refer to the NJ state law that speaks to this.

Q: can we substitute synthetic fertilizer for organic fertilizer? If we are spraying crabgrass and weed control, the application is not organic. Organic fertilizer at the rates mentioned throughout the RFB application rate would have a very objectionable malodor.

A: The JCRA is open to hearing about what the applicants think the process/solution should be.

Q: Should we assume that the 1 lb. Is per 100 sq feet a typo? The spec states 1 lb.? 1 lb. of nitrogen? See point 7

A: Please refer to the NJ state law that speaks to this.

Q: would Eagle or Tourney be acceptable as a replacement for Cleary 3336Plus?

A: The JCRA is open to hearing about what the applicants think the process/solution should be.

Q: should we assume that the 1 lb per 100 sq feet is a typo? The spec states 1 lb.? 1 lb. of nitrogen? See point 7

A: Please refer to the NJ state law that speaks to this.

Q: Would Acelepryn be an acceptable substitute?

A: The JCRA is open to hearing about what the applicants think the process/solution should be.

Q: if we follow your spec through the season, the October application of nitrogen would be breaking NJ state law for amount of nitrogen being applied during the course of the year. The spec requires applying 4.5 lbs. of nitrogen over the course of the season,. NJ State Fertilizer law passed in 2011 clearly specifies  ” for each application, apply no more than 0.9 pounds of nitrogen for every 1000 square feet of lawn area, and for each year, apply no more than a total of 3.2 pounds of nitrogen for every 1000 square feet of lawn area.” The fertilizer calendar year runs from March 1 through November 15.

A: Please refer to the NJ state law that speaks to this

Q: On the addendum attached, on the bid form sheets, July is listed twice. Can you clarify why that is or was this a mistake?

A: Yes this is a mistake that has since been corrected.

Q:  in the most left column: “Properties” does this imply to write in each of the 30 property addresses, and associated cost per month of each? (300 price items) Or is it just one price for all work specified, for all properties divided by the ten months, (10 price items)

A: We’d like each of the properties written in with their anticipated pricing for that month
