Midway Task Order

(1) Attachment 12 Midway Variable Radius Cruise Instructions What is the estimated number of Plots for Item 2: Timber Cruising, Saw Timber & Biomass Plots?

Response: 53 plots for item 2

(2) The estimated acres are stated as 357.0. Shouldn't this be 498.0 acres for the 8 leave tree mark units?

Response: The 357 acres is correct for what we are asking to mark. Units 540 and 565 are already marked.

(3) Under Equipment Required - it lists a Relaskop or a 25 BAF prism. Below that under Cruise Information it lists the Basal Area Factor as 20. Which BAF is to be used?

Response: 20 BAF is the correct prism. The 25 was a typo.

(4) Attachment 13 Midway Biomass Unit 545 is missing from the listed units.

Response: A typo. Unit 545 should be included in the listing of units. All units will have biomass to be cruised.

(5) Assuming it is to be cruised for Biomass, is the 79 number of biomass plots correct or will there be more?

Response: 79 is the correct number. There are no plans for additional plots.
