5. On the bid schedule attachment there are “Bid Option Category” A through C. If USDA-FS awards any optional items, will all items be awarded within the “Bid Option Category” or can the USDA-FS award some of the line items within the “Bid Category” without awarding all of the line items included?
Answer:
a. If USDA-FS awards “Bid Option’s”, will they be awarded along with the Base Bid items, or can the USDA-FS award optional items after the Base Bid Items have been awarded.

Answer: Yes, pricing shall be good for 90 days.

Answer: I cannot give a more specific date due to workload, funding, etc.

Answer: Please bid assuming that the campground will remain open during construction.
b. If yes, are temporary closures to roads, campsites, facilities acceptable?
