- Amendment Three (3) to Solicitation 263-2004-(FW)-0088 is issued to change the NAICS Code to 561730, all information remains the same. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is conducting a market survey to determine the availability and potential technical capability of sources for turf maintenance and ice and snow removal services for general and selected areas. This requirement is to provide a comprehensive Turf Maintenance and, Ice and Snow Removal Program. The areas with service requirements include the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Bethesda, Maryland campus and the National Institutes of Health Animal Center (NIHAC) Poolesville, Maryland campus. The anticipated performance requirements consist of a basic period of twelve months with four, one-year consecutive option periods. The successful contractor shall furnish any and all the requested services by providing the necessary qualified personnel, material, equipment, tools and supplies as needed and in a timely manner to perform the requested services. The area for turf services at the Bethesda campus is approximately 59.45 hectares with an estimated number of 36 mowing/trimmings required per season. Up to four complete edging of pavement areas may be required. Up to 16 hectares may be selected for turf verifying, over-seeding and fertilization and up to 100 hectares may be selected for leaf removal. The NIHAC, Poolesville campus encompasses approximately 112.9 hectares of which approximately 40.9 hectares comprise fine lawns and approximately 72.0 hectares of fenced pasture fields. The remaining acreage is heavily wooded. Approximately 34 fine lawn mowing and up to 4 pasture mowings will be required per season. The ice and snow removal services will generally consist of a comprehensive control and removal program for accumulations on the Bethesda and Poolesville campuses between November 01 and April 15 of the contract year. This shall include (I) Pedestrian Areas (all building entrances, all nitrogen/oxygen tank areas, all flag pole access walks, all shuttle bus stops/shelters, all security entrance shelters and pedestrian turnstiles, all loading docks and steps and all playground areas and all sidewalks/bike paths); (II) Roads and Parking Lots (all road, parking lot, parking garage top decks and ramps); (III) Handicap Parking (all exposed handicap parking spaces and access isles); and (IV) NIH Animal Center (a comprehensive program of all campus pedestrian areas, roads, parking lots, service areas, steps, handicap parking and sidewalks).
