This is an Amendment 01 Questions and Answers document for solicitation 1240LU26Q0028, a U.S. Forest Service project for Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest Gipsy Lake Day Use Improvements. The amendment extended the quotes due date to March 13, 2026, and clarified procurement requirements for contractors.

Key clarifications address material sourcing and procurement responsibilities. For fire pits, RJ Thomas MFG. CO. is identified as a recommended source on Sheet 10 of the plans. Glacier Precast Concrete Company has been approved for picnic table procurement on other campground projects. Culverts are specified as 18" Galvanized Steel Corrugated Metal Pipe, available through most Home and Ranch stores, with the contractor responsible for procurement. The government confirmed that Glacier Precast Concrete Company is the approved manufacturer for concrete picnic tables. The solicitation is a 100% small business set-aside, and the government will not consider bids from non-small businesses. Bidders are directed to review the project plans for detailed specifications and layout information rather than requesting mockup bid layouts or alternative sourcing options.
