14. DESCRIPTION OF AMENDMENT/MODIFICATION (Organized by UCF section headings, including solicitation/contract subject matter where feasible.

This amendment:

1. Amends the reply date for proposals to August 18, 2023, at 12:00 PM Pacific time.

2. Replaces the Solicitation, Appendices A and B, all Contract Area Maps and the Unit Acre Summary.

a. All changes in Blue text.

3. Adds clarification to questions posted in amendment 002 and adds question 45.

16. Would surface rock material be permitted on a temp road for localized improvements as needed? Likely not, this is based on Heritage protection needs. Due to resource protection requirements, these requests would need to be addressed on a case-by-case basis.

24. Will any of the speculative Helicopter Service Landings identified and asked about in the pre-bid tour be approved for use (pre-bid tour Stop 2 or either of the two locations off-site viewed at the end of the pre-bid tour?)

Yes, as agreed too. There are two located just outside of the northeast corner of the project area. See updated maps.

Reference updated Amendment 005 maps.

25. Will only the trees marked in teal colored paint be removed in Unit 66 or is the intent to remove others in addition following the Rx. See Appendix A Optional Item 13: Fell and Remove Hazards Fuels (Unit 66) Bullet point

1. Green trees to be cut are marked, snag to be cut are not marked. Green trees that are larger than 10-inch DBH are marked with paint. Green trees to be removed less than 10-inch DBH are by designation by description and snags to be removed are also designation by description.

33. Why are monarch giants designated in three different ways on the map? Please see CAM, Green the inter 50-foot treatment has been completed, what remains to be treated is the perimeter from 50-100 feet. Red circles No work has been completed, the entire 100-foot perimeter needs treatment and small brown dots piling needs to occur in all Giant Sequoia treatment has been completed, this just need to be protected when working adjacent to them on the east side. Please clarify what the colors mean in relation to mechanical piling when located in a helicopter unit 10? Do we treat non-colored monarchs (small brown dots in Units 66 and 11) according to the nested circle RX? Can mechanized piling occur within the outer 50 ft ring in the red and/or green circles of monarchs in Unit 110? Yes.

37. What is the difference between the 15% “wildlife Cover” that can be excluded (where we assume stand structure is important) and other areas that could be considered “deferrals” (where ops are difficult rocks, slope etc?)? The contract requirement is to leave 15% untreated, this will be left up the contractor to identify. The 15% retention requirement has been removed.

45. Can fuel be staged at the Batterson Work Center? Yes, fuel storage can be permitted at the Batterson Work Center with appropriate spill containment.
