Solicitation Number: 127EAT25Q0011
COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION
Solicitation Number 127EAT25Q0011
Sawmill Liebre Reforestation Project Area Angeles National Forest Tujunga Ranger District
ISSUED: February 21, 2025 22 March 2023 6 March 2025
Amendment 0002
Question 1: It's there a possibility of we can work on this project through SBA 8a program again.
Answer: This is a 100% small business set-aside using NAICS 115310. If you are interested in this requirement, please provide a quote by the closing date of 21 March 2025.
Question 2: We are performing independent research on the Combined Synopsis/Solicitation (127EAT25Q0011). We would like to know if this is a brand new contract OR if there is (was) an incumbent performing these services. If not brand new, could you please provide the current / previous contract number?
Answer: This is a new contract.
Question 3: How large is the radius for the grubbing?
Answer: 5-foot radius for grub circle/square
Question 4: Is there a limit on tree height for trees to be released?
Answer: No. In the past two years I directed them to not worry about trees that were 5 foot or taller from the ground as they were free-to-grow and generally above the brush and other competing vegetation. Looking at it now it would be good to treat all the trees that were planted or natural that came in after the fire to have a complete release.
Question 5: If there are multiple trees in the grubbed circle/square does each one need to have a 5-foot radius grub or just leave them grubbed to the 5-foot radius circle/square around one seedling?
Answer: If they start with one seedling with grubbing and there are other seedlings within the 5-foot grub circle to consider them grubbed and not grub another 5-foot circle around each one within the circle. If a tree is outside the grub circle that tree would need grubbing to a 5-foot circle.
Solicitation Number: 127EAT25Q0011
Question 6: In the grubbing around each seedling how close do you remove the vegetation? I gave them a diagram of the release specifications according to the contract. Down to mineral soil and to 11/2 inches below surface for some types of vegetation.
Answer: Down to mineral soil except for plants that have rhizomes like certain brush species which are to be cut within 1 ½ inches of the ground. See release specification handout attached to this solicitation.
