Questions and Responses from Industry

1) Will the attached Wind River project (SOW Mining Reach Phase II BPA) be awarded as the 1st job attached to this BPA? Yes

2) Do I need to complete and submit the sheet that looks like a CALL sheet "Schedule of Supplies/Services sheet"? The call sheet in the solicitation body is required to be filled out.

3) Is the grapple attachment listed with the medium excavator item #0006AI on that sheet a necessity to the Wind River specific project? Yes

4) Item 0004 and item 0005, should have more classes too price and need more definition.

A typical 20"+ DBH Fir tree will have a rootwad greater than 3ft in diameter when pulled over. I've pulled over numerous trees 30"-40" with root wads over 15ft in dia. Most trees I line pull over (12"- 18") will have a 3 ft minimum diameter rootwad. With the range of tree sizes listed on Item 0003, it would be easier to produce accurate costs based on those sizes (0003AA, 0003AB, 0003AC, 0003AD) broken down by the distances on Item 0004 & item 0005. No changes will be made.

5) Do line items 0004 & 0005 include tipping and dragging in its current state or are you looking for a drag/adjustment only price? Current State

6) Does the average size tree diameter to be pulled over range from 18 to 36 inches DBH as indicated on the last line of section C-4.3.1 ? Yes

7) Is Item 0008 the same as 0004 or 0005? No. See C-5.8 for details

8) In the Log Haul Section of the pricing, would 0012AA and 0012AB be a joint billing item? No, one is a hourly rate and one if a mileage rate. And Item 0012AC just says "Excavator", should that be a specific size? Below 22,000 lbs.

9) I can’t find the clause for the Quality Control Plan, can you please let me know where to find that clause? Clause is inserted under addendum to FAR 52.212-4 in amendment 01.

10) Do we fill out the Mining Reach quote as well as the schedule of supplies and services in the first document? It is not required to quote on the Mining Reach project. If a vendor is awarded a BPA and they submitted a quote sheet for the project, they will be considered for award.
