About this file
This document provides answers to questions from offerors on Solicitation 1240BJ22R0003 from the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R10-Alaska Region. The solicitation is for a Multiple Award Task Order Contract for road construction services in Alaska over a five year period from October 1, 2022 to October 1, 2027. Services include new road construction, reconstruction, bridge building, trail construction, culverts, erosion control and other transportation infrastructure work. Pricing is being requested for the first year only and will be used for estimating purposes, as providing fixed pricing over five years would be difficult given economic uncertainties. Individual task orders will include detailed requirements, specifications and pricing. Questions were answered clarifying that year one pricing is for estimation, materials may escalate in future years, construction drawings were not provided but will be included in task orders, definitions of work items were provided or contractors directed to specifications, and the point of delivery for government furnished materials varies by task order and zone. Proposals are to be emailed by the specified date to the identified contracting officer.

Answer to questions for Solicitation 1240BJ22R0003 Road Construction MATOC for Alaska
The Period of Performance is 10/1/2022-10/1/2027, but on the Price Schedule in Section B, prices are being asked for Year 1 only. Are these prices for the USFS to use to estimate the cost of future IDIQ jobs? or are these prices we will be held to as 'not to exceed' prices when we participate in the upcoming IDIQ contracts?
Preference is to utilize the year one pricing for estimating & evaluation purposes. We understand that it would be very difficult to provide a not to exceed price, considering the current economy.
We can give you a bid on Contractor supplied materials on the date of the bid. And these prices would be good throughout year one of the project. However, those materials may increase in price for future years. Is there a material escalation clause incorporated in this project so we could recover any increase in material cost?

Do you have any construction drawings of the Gov't Furnished Glulam Slab or Modular Bridges that show the bridge components, foundation type, etc.? It will be hard to submit a reasonable bid per each without this information.

What is the definition or scope of work of Item 26 - Logging Out, Item 29 - Ford Construction, Item 36 - Construct Turnpike, Type 1, Item 37 - Stairway, Type Staircase, Item 38 - Construct Boardwalk, Type Standard and Item 39 - OH Trail Reconditioning? It could be that all of this information is in USDA Standard Specifications. If that is the case can you direct me to where I can acquire those specifications?

What is the FOB point for Gov't Furnished materials for each of the 10 Zones
Too many to list. Gov’t provided material sources will be called out on the individual task order. In general, on the Tongass NF, we expect an average haul distance of 2 miles for rock. Bridges and culvert haul distances can vary greatly and will be called out on individual task order.
Do we email our bids to you (Loyd)?
Please provide proposals to via e-mail to loyd.childs@usda.gov.
