Ques�ons and Answers for Solicita�on Amendment 0002 to Solicita�on 12441923R0039
CONTRACTOR QUESTION 1: On Task item 1130(1) states the use of pit run aggregate. Is this referring to pit run Sand Gravel or Clay Gravel mix ?
GOVERNMENT RESPONSE TO QUESTION 1: Bid on Clay Gravel Mix. Sand gravel does not hold up well on NFMS Forest Service Roads.
CONTRACTOR QUESTION 2: Task item 3010 reads clean and reshape ditches according to specifica�on 3010. According to that spec, watles are required a�er any ditch improvements along with seed and fer�liza�on but in the specifica�ons watles and seed and fer�lize have their own pay items in a sub-category 3010(01A) . 3010(03). Ques�on is are we assuming since there is no pay item for these tasks that they are not included? if so, CO needs to understand we are not held liable for any erosion if the addi�onal pay items are not added as per the spec specifies. I have copied and pasted the task item in the scope of work as it reads" For Ac�vity Code 3010 - Ditching, Erosion Control, and Seeding/Fer�lizing" the pay item reads "3010 Clean and Reshape Ditches" I need clarifica�on.
GOVERNMENT RESPONSE TO QUESTION 2: Since the item is not included, we will not ask for seed, fer�liza�on or watles on this contract as a separate item or under ditching. The contractor is not liable for erosion a�er ditching.
