124026 O3 Addendum One-Attachment A.pdf.docx

This is a Solicitation Addendum One issued by the Nebraska Game & Parks Commission (NGPC) for Cedar Tree Clearing for Firebreaks at Wapiti Wildlife Management Area (WMA). The addendum, effective December 19, 2025, revises Map F in Attachment A to provide more detailed information about the cedar tree clearing service area. The solicitation requires contractors to remove eastern red cedar trees across 44.8 acres, cutting trees at or below ground level within 150–300 feet of firelines and relocating downed trees beyond designated boundaries to facilitate prescribed burns in the Loess Canyons terrain. A mandatory bidders' conference is scheduled for December 18, 2025, in North Platte, Nebraska. Written questions must be submitted by December 24, 2025, with responses posted by December 31, 2025. Electronic proposals are due January 7, 2026, at 2:00 PM Central Time. The contract term runs from execution through June 30, 2026, with work commencing immediately after contract finalization.

The evaluation will be primarily cost-based, though the State reserves the right to consider previous contract performance and preferences for resident disabled veterans and Nebraska-based businesses located in designated enterprise zones under Nebraska Revised Statutes 73-107. Contractors must demonstrate adequate manpower and equipment capable of moving large trees in steep terrain and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including $2,000,000 in general aggregate liability and $1,000,000 in commercial automobile liability. Contractors are responsible for repairing any fence damage during tree removal operations and must complete all work to specification at no additional cost if corrections are required. No specific budget range is stated in the documents; pricing will be determined through the bidding process.
