A#3: Yes, there is a potential for this to occur. Potential units will be identified upon contract award.

Q#4: Can a map be created of units that do not have any timing constraints?

A#4: There is potential for work to begin prior to July 16, 2021. That information will be discussed and provided upon contract award. A map cannot be created at this time due to the variance of these units.

Q#5: Will this contract be awarded to one company?

A#5: Yes. This contract will be awarded to one contractor.

A#9: If extended shutdowns, due to wildfire or IFPL restrictions occur, the contractor can request a total shutdown and the CO may issue a Stop-Work Notice / Suspension of Work.

Q#10: How many days to complete the contract?

A#10: Refer to Section F—Deliveries or Performance. If optional items are awarded, days may be added to the contract depending on number of options awarded and timing of options awarded.

Q#11: What is the likelihood of optional items being awarded?

A#11: We have been successful in obtaining extra monies to award optional items in our previous fuels reduction contracts. I anticipate this contract to follow suit, but previous award of optional units does not guarantee I will be able to do so again.

Q#12: Does the contractor have the authority cut a tree to access an area in the unit?

A#12: Yes. The Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) will authorize the cutting of a tree to access areas that need to be piled or masticated. The COR needs to know location and how many prior to cutting.

Q#13: What are the fire control measures required?

A#13: Refer to Section G—Contract Documents, Exhibits, or Attachments. Contractor will be required to have a 300-gallon water tank and a full compliment of tools, as outlined in the solicitation. Additionally, each piece of equipment needs to have a fire extinguisher that meets the requirements as outlined in the contract.

Q#14: Can one water tank be used for multiple pieces of equipment?

A#14: Yes. If multiple pieces of equipment are working in the same unit, or working in the adjoining unit, one water tank is sufficient.
