Q3: Could you outline detailed piling specifications for item 4, particularly concerning slopes? Is it permissible to neatly pile materials in the areas where they naturally fall?

A3: In terms of the piling specification, our expectation is that the material to be piled will be moved the requisite distance to make a pile that meets the pile size specifications. We do not want a lot of small piles consisting of material from only a single tree, but rather the material will be moved an adequate distance to make a pile that meets the dimensions as specified, i.e.:

"a minimum pile height of 10 ft, unless no other pile is within 100 ft of a pile that is less than

10 ft in height".

What this specification essentially requires is that material might need to be moved up to 100 ft to create a pile that is a minimum of 10 ft in height. If moving material up to 100 ft still does not result in a pile that is at least 10 ft tall, then a pile can be made at that point that is less than 10 ft high.

Q4: How do I know if my products are acceptable as bio-based?

A4: You can view the Department of Agriculture

(USDA) Designated Bio based Products List (DBPL) here:

https://www.biopreferred.gov/BioPreferred/faces/We lcome.xhtml

You can also read labelling on products you already use to determine if their bio-based content meets the standards posted on the biopreferred.gov website.

Q5: Is there a site visit, site walk, bid walk?

A5: There is not a government-led site visit planned. There are notes in the solicitation about one unit that requires a walk in past a locked gate, but otherwise the units are accessible so it's possible to inspect them on your own.

Q6: Can we work out extensions to the contract if we need to take our equipment for fire assignments?

A6: In general, no. The expectation is that

equipment and personnel proposed for this contract will be committed to completing contract work. If you have active fire support contracts or other work, you need to have a plan in place to ensure that contract commitments, including period of performance deadlines, are met.

Q8: Will the award be made based on lowest price and based on the vendor demonstrating he/she is the most responsible bidder?
