Questions and Answers. Q1: Overhead and street views indicate a need to get the surrounding shoreline cleaned up in order to gain access to the retention pond. We have equipment for that, but the steepness of the bank would dictate the use of either a track loader or an excavator to facilitate the job. Would this bid require debris removal to a landfill? A1: A tracked excavator will be necessary to preform the work required. The requirements are as follows. Removal of all vegetation in retention pond Removal of specified trees and vegetation immediately around retention pond Wet debris may be piled for removal after drying All debris will either be hauled off site or mulched on site Q2: Would we be able to leave equipment and trailers at the job site? A2: Equipment can be left on site during the prefomance of contractual work. Q3: Is there any special permitting required? A3: No special permitting is required on site. DOT may regulate the transportation of wet debris. Q4: What is the approximate pond size (acreage and depth)? A4: 150� in diameter and 8� below surrounding grade at bottom. These are NOT actual dimensions but estimates. Q5: Are stumps required to be removed as part of tree clearing? A5: Yes, stumps are to be removed. Q6: Are there any environmental restrictions or permits required for this work? A6: No permits are required on site for this work to our knowledge. Q7: Is there a preferred debris disposal method (mulching on-site vs. hauling off-site)? A7: No preferred method. The area is to be left tidy with no piles of debris at job completion. Q8: Are there any site access limitations we should plan for? A8: No. Q9: What is the required completion timeframe for the project? A9: 4 weeks from start of work.
