S--St Augustine Gnd Maint

This contract amendment pertains to the ground maintenance for a St. Augustine grass lawn under the solicitation number VA78612R0040, issued by the National Cemetery Administration within the Department of Veterans Affairs. The key change involves switching the grass type to St. Augustine and updating related contract documents by replacing Attachments A and C and adding new Attachments A1 and A2. Notably, St. Augustine grass does not require an irrigation system, which means potential bidders must assume responsibility for providing water as part of the maintenance process. The solicitation is a combined type and is identified as a Veteran Set Aside, under NAICS code 561730. It is associated with the office located in Quantico, Virginia. The amendment also includes an extension of the bid due date to March 30, 2012, allowing bidders additional time to prepare their proposals under the revised terms. This contract underscores the importance of water provision and updated requirements in maintaining the specified grass type at the cemetery site.
