About this file
This document is a set of questions and answers related to the federal contract opportunity for the Lake Fire Sawmill Campground Tree Planting project (Solicitation Number 127EAT25Q0015). The Q&A addresses key clarifications about the bidding process, specifically focusing on tree planting quantities and pricing measurement. The primary points of discussion include:
The contract involves planting 24,560 trees across 285 acres in three different areas within the Angeles National Forest: Lake Fire (186 acres), Sawmill Liebre (39 acres), and Hollow Tree & Sandberg Plantations (60 acres). The bidding is to be per tree, with variations in tree density ranging from 76 to 125 trees per acre, depending on the specific location. The contractors sought clarification on the unit of measure for pricing and the accuracy of tree quantities per location, with the government confirming that a per-tree bid is acceptable and suggesting minor pencil changes to the tree allocation numbers to align with the intended planting density.

Questions - 127EAT25Q0015 - Lake Fire Sawmill Campground - Tree Planting
1. We noticed on the schedule of items/pricing page, that the Unit of Measure is by the acre and the QTY looks like it could be the total trees for each item? Should the unit of measure be per tree, per thousand, or is it in fact by the acre? Or should we use the SF 1449 to submit pricing?
Bid should be per tree. That is just the total per line item. Uploaded corrected Schedule of Items and removed incorrect format.
2. Sorry to be a bug, but it looks like the bid item number of trees may be reversed on the bid page you supplied. The first item has 39 acres (according to the maps) but lists 14,000 trees, this would be over 350 Trees per acre (the solicitation suggests it should be 76 TPA) and item two has a total of 186 acres and only 3,000 trees. (supposed to be 77 TPA) If you reverse them it works out. Should we just pen and ink make the change?
Item 1: 14,060 trees for Lake Fire on 186 acres.
Item 2: Sawmill Liebre 3,000 trees on 39 acres.
Item 3: 7,500 trees on 60 acres.
Total of 24,500 trees over 285 acres.

3. Yes, we understand the bid is per tree, but the number of trees to get the total for each bid item will not be accurate as is. The estimated trees per acre is located on page 6 of the Performance Work Statement, 3.0 Technical Requirements/Tasks second bullet point. All I see is that the total number of trees for items one and two seem to be reversed as per my last email description.
Thanks for your understanding, just let me know if we should make a pen and ink change, or just leave it as is.
It should be per tree bid. Pencil change is ok.
