About this file
This document is an Amendment 0003 Questions and Answers (Q&A) for the Allegheny National Forest Tree Planting solicitation (12344325Q0019). The Q&A clarifies several key aspects of the contract, including that zero cribs and individual cages are required, and the project involves planting tree seedlings within a deer exclosure fence that was previously sprayed with Oust herbicide. The performance period is confirmed as April 16 to June 1, with an emphasis on completing plantings by June 1st to ensure maximum effectiveness.
The solicitation, issued by the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R9-Eastern Region, seeks services for planting government-furnished tree seedlings, shrubs, and saplings, along with installing tree shelters and constructing woven wire planting structures. Contractors are expected to provide labor, equipment, and transportation to complete the planting. Pricing will involve unique unit prices for pine planting, hardwood planting, and solid tube tree shelter services, with zero-dollar pricing for unexercised line items. Technical questions were to be submitted to Ashley Stoltzfus by 4/7/2025, with a Q&A document to be posted on SAM on 4/8/2025. The project is a new contract with no incumbent.

Q: I see 1,500 solid tube shelters in the price schedule, what are the estimated numbers for cribs and individual cage exclosures? I am assuming these would be to include all plantings being protected with typical spacing within the cribs
A: There are zero cribs and individual cages required under this contract. Area 289017/018 is inside a deer exclosure fence and was sprayed with Oust herbicide in 2024 to control interfering vegetation.
Q: What are the rough or expected numbers for the 12-18 inch, 3-6 ft., 3-7ft., and possible containers respectively?
A: This question needs clarification. I am assuming it relates to seedlings size? The number of seedlings are specified in the RFQ and the size of seedlings are referenced in the SOW.
Q: Will the performance period be as listed in the contract(April 16 - June 1 of 25), or would this be obviated to provide similar time following award process? This will be a quick turnaround from award and we want to be certain to plan in advance as some coordination is required.
A: Correct. The period of performance is accurate. We are looking to have all sites planted as soon as possible. Plantings past June 1st show decreased effectiveness.
Q: SOW indicated that there would be a separate detailed information sheet, though there isn't one attached. Is that something I should need or may provide answers to these questions?
A: The detailed information sheet is Exhibit C, which summarizes figures portrayed in the schedule and SOW with a few additional details. See Attached.
Q: I see in the attached the price schedule template for this project asks for a unique unit price for the pine planting, hardwood planting, and solid tube tree shelter services. In the project description, the construction of woven wire planting cribs and woven wire individual tree fences are also mentioned. Should we prepare a line item for each of these services on the pricing schedule as well? And if so, can you please provide the expected quantity of each?
A: There are item numbers listed under this solicitation which are not being performed. Those item numbers show an estimated quantity of zero for those items. Place a price of $0 in those item numbers as they will not be exercised under this contract.
Q: Is there any incumbent/recompete or this is a brand-new project? If yes, could you please provide us with their award number or even if the customer bought similar services in the past.
A: No
