Question and Answers
Solicitation 1240LQ23R0001 Turkey-Devil Fuels Reduction
Date:4/27/2023
Are there any locked gates precluding us from driving to the project site(s)?
Answer: There are two locked gates
Is the area free of snow, so our operators can get a factual determination of ground conditions?
Answer: The area is currently under 1-2 feet of snow.
Was there a formal site visit last fall that we missed for the project?
Answer: No, by the time we were able to move forward with the project it was already snow packed.
Have any local contractors had access to project information in any capacity (Maps or project boundary descriptions) that would give them the ability to ground truth the project site? By that, I mean is everyone bidding apples to apples, by looking at satellite imagery?
Answer: Everything is apples to apples. Everyone is welcome to walk out into the units. The roads are just not open yet due to snow.
How close to each unit do you estimate we can reach with a pickup truck?
Answer: You can take Archuleta County Road 600 to its intersection with FSR 629. Turkey units 1&3 boarder County road 600. The rest of the units will require walking until the roads are open. I don’t have a timeframe for that. It just depends on how quickly the snow melts and the road conditions (mud).
By utilizing the provided geo-referenced map, The truck parking is located at (37.333412,-107.126797) located on the eastern edge of Turkey 1 unit. To get from there to Turkey 4A (37.295853,-107.163648) would be a 4.13 mile hike. From Turkey 4A to Devil 1 (37.333613,-107.196590) would be an additional
5.4 mile hike, all told 9.53 mile hike from the truck access point, one-way, not counting walking the unit. Does that sound accurate?
Answer: I would have to measure it on a map. But that sounds about right. I would say his measurements are accurate. As of now both FSR 629 and 630 are still closed due to snow.
Is there a scheduled pre-bid job walk or are we to visit the sites on our own to determine the work involved?
Answer: There is no scheduled site visit. Bidders may visit the site on their on their own.
If we are to visit the areas on our own, can you email us the Avenza maps or any other documentation you have on the exact locations of each area?
Answer: The included map is georeferenced and can be imported into Avenza. If a map is still needed I can email one.
