Solicitation Q&As SRD Resurrection Pass Trail Brushing
The questions in this document were submitted by offerors in response to solicitation 1240BF24Q0021, SRD Resurrection Pass Trail Brushing posted in SAM.Gov on Monday, May 13, 2024 at 2:31 PM (AKT). The answers were provided by the Forest Service Requiring Agency and reviewed by the Forest Service Contracting Office.
1. Question: Solicitation 1240BF24Q0021 is listed under NAICS code 115310 (Support Services for Forestry) with a size standard of $11.5M. Under that code, there is a sub-size standard for fuels treatments which is now $34M. We believe this project includes fuels treatments and therefore could be classified as the $34M size standard. Please advise if we are correct in our thinking, and if it would be possible to amend the size standard to $34M?
Answer: The solicitation will use NAICS code 115310 Support Services for Forestry – Fuels Management Services with a size standard of $34M.
2. Question: Is there any way to extend the due date in hopes we could send someone up north to take a look at it?
Answer: The solicitation will be extended until 4 JUNE 2024.
3. Question: Is the entirety of the trail accessible by ATV/UTV or would daily hiking and camping be a major factor?
Answer: ATVs <50” wide are considered trail maintenance equipment and can be utilized on the Resurrection Pass Trail up to mile 12.8 by the Swan Lake Cabin, and mile 8.7 on the Devil’s Creek Trail as coordinated with the COR. ATV use will not be permitted outside of the above defined areas. To prevent resource damage, ATV use shall only be for transporting supplies and equipment on a limited basis, not for daily personal transportation. Keep vehicle speed low to prevent resource damage and for public safety. Any other type of trail maintenance equipment shall not be permitted unless approved in writing by the COR. ATV use is not recommended on the first 4.5 miles from the Resurrection South Trailhead. Contact the Kenai Peninsula Borough and the State of Alaska to see if permits are required to gain access through Bean Creek Trail (preferred access). There will be some construction adjacent to the Bean Creek Trail. The contractor may contact the Bean Creek Project Engineer (POC to be provided after contract award) before passing through the area on ATVs.
In summary, ATVs under 50” wide may be used on Resurrection South to mile 12.8. It is not recommended that you ATV from mile 0- mile 4.5 of Resurrection South Trail. You can access the junction at mile 4.5 of Resurrection South Trail and the Bean Creek Trail on an ATV via the Bean Creek Trail. You can also ATV to mile 8.7 of the Devil’s Creek trail for access to the end of the project (which is around 1.3 miles from the trail junction of Devil’s Creek Trail and Resurrection Pass Trail). ATVs are not to be used for daily personal transportation so daily hiking and camping will be necessary.
4. Question: Is the area considered wilderness/protected?
Answer: This is not a wilderness area.
5. Question: Are motorized saws allowed?
Answer: Yes, motorized saws are allowed.
6. Question: Is this for a brand new contract or is(was) an incumbent performing these services? If not brand new, could you please provide the current/previous contract number?
