1. Referencing the below delivery dates. Offers are due on April 4, 2022, with a delivery date of prior to 04/08/2022, which means delivery could be 04/05/2022, 04/06/2022 or 04/07/2022. Could you please be more specific on when the delivery should be versus, “Prior to 4/8/2022” so we could be able to provide the correct offer?

Answer: Units must be on site to receive packaged trees on 4/8/22 at an unknown time. Delivery is coming from several states away so exact time is unknown. They can be delivered prior to 4/8 but not after. This span allows the vendor to utilize one semi to haul three reefer units to the site. It is anticipated the planting operation will continue until 4/22 so reefers can be picked up after that date.

(vii) Date(s) and Place(s) of Delivery and Acceptance Date: Units to be delivered prior to 4/8/22 and picked up after 4/22//22.

See vii above. The reefers are to be delivered by the vendor and not picked up by the USFS.

1. Will the Government clean the inside of the reefer after use, or will it be the responsibility of the contractor?

1.

The government will give the reefer a cursory cleaning with a broom. The trees are in sealed paper bags which are opened out in the field and not in the reefer. There is anticipated to be minimal cleanup.
