SEE BELOW FOR QUESTIONS AND GOVERNMENT RESPONSES.

Question: Can you please identify if there is an incumbent consultant for this project?

Government Response: Please submit a FOIA request. Here is the link: https://www.fs.usda.gov/about-agency/foia Question: Can you clarify the 45-minute limit to target species treatment per day? Is this a 45-minute limit to weeding each target area or throughout the entire project area?

Government Response: The 45 minute limit applies to the actual area covered during a given day of survey by a team of two. The intent is to prioritize survey, while still treating small infestations that are more efficient to treat at time of discovery, rather than returning for treatment later.

Question: What is the due date for the final report? The draft is due on October 15, 2023, but no due date for the final.

Government Response: The deliverable dates should be corrected as follows: September 27th, 2023 for the draft report, and October 27th, 2023 for the final report.
