SF 30 (REV. 10/83)

FAR (48 CFR) 53.243

Q. On SF 1442, it states that offers are due on 09/19/2022 by 1300 (1 p.m.) local time (which I assume to be Mountain Time). In SAM, it states that responses are due on Sep 15, 2022 02:00 pm PDT. Which is correct?

A. The CORRECT date is 09/19/2022 by 1300 Pacific Time Q. In Section C (PDF page 8), it states that the optional pre-bid tour is on Tuesday, 08/30/22 at

11am. In clause 452.237-71- Pre-Bid/Pre-Proposal Conference (PDF page 41), it states that the conference will be 31 Aug 2022 at 1000 AM MT. Which is correct?

A. The CORRECT time and Date is Tuesday 08/30/2022 at 11:00AM MT.

Q. How are offers to be submitted? SF 1442 states that sealed offers and a copy are due at the place specified in item 8, but item 8 is blank. Section L states that faxed offers are acceptable, but no fax number is given. There is a reference in Section C-2 about submittals via email, but it's unclear if that is referring to offers or other submittals.

A. Electronic or Emailed offers are the only kind that will be accepted. They should be emailed to Raymond.Garleb@usda.gov. This same information is for bid bonds.

Q. How much is the bid bond? SF 1442 states that an offer guarantee is required. Clause 452.237- 71 Pre-Bid/Pre-Proposal Conference (PDF pages 23-24) also indicates that a bid guarantee is required, but there are no dollar amounts or percentages listed in (c).

A. (c) The amount of the bid guarantee shall be 5% of the bid price or 90,000.00 whichever is less.

Q. The evaluation criteria listed in Section M appear to be for a different RFP. In the "capability1' section, it references a Hyalite Canyon Slide Stabilization project and "extreme-distance, horizontal drilling in rugged, complex terrain." The Slip & Slide Dam Decommissioning & Restoration project does not appear to requi re any type of drilling. What evaluation criteria will be used for this project?

A. In Section M (a)2, Company Experience, change the paragraph to read:

Through the experience questionnaire show recent and relevant experience demonstrating skills and procedures needed to complete this project. At a minimum include; contract number, description of work, customer name and phone number and email address, contract amount and sub-contractors used.
