14. DESCRIPTION OF AMENDMENT/MODIFICATION (CONTINUED)

A. Below are the Request For Information (RFI) responses which are hereby incorporated into any subsequent contract award. Failure to use the revised documents and requirements revised within will result in your proposal being non-responsive.

The deadline for proposal submissions has been extended. All proposals must now be submitted exclusively via email by August 19, 2025, no later than 11:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time (PDT).

1. Could you please share the site visit sign in sheet?

Response: The pre-bid site visit sign-in sheet for this construction project will not be publicly posted.

2. Can you include my company to the planholders list?

Response: No. The Forest Service does not maintain a list of planholders for this project.

3. What are the liquidated damages rate is for this project?

Response: The clause at FAR 52.211-12, Liquidated Damages-Construction, has not been incorporated into this contract.

4. Are all the down trees and stumps to be piled on site? If so, how far outside of the “new”camp ground area?

Response: A separate contract will be executed to manage the removal of downed trees, standing dead trees, and their transportation out of the campground area. Should the removal of a stump be necessary to facilitate the recreation facility project, it will be incumbent upon the contractor to address this requirement. Additionally, any minor woody debris generated from these timber operations must be cleared by the contractor to ensure the completion of the recreation facility project. The woody debris can be scared outside of the campground area.

5. Specifications section 2805.2 says “Contractor Shall” use Bedrock Boulders. They can only bring and set 8-10 boulders a day.

Can the contractor haul and set the boulders? If so, are there any other specifications such as using quarry “shot rock” boulders?

Response: It is acceptable to use shot-rock boulders for the project. Boulders can be obtained from a quarry.

6. What is the requirement for site personnel by the General Contractor during construction?

Response: All personnel operating within the project area are required to adhere to established safety standards, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). Furthermore, it is mandatory for a superintendent to be present on-site during the execution of work. This superintendent, contingent upon having completed the requisite safety training, may also fulfill the role of the safety officer for the project. This ensures compliance with the clause that mandates direct supervision and safety oversight, as outlined in the contract requirements.

7. Can the period of performance be extended after award once the material / equipment lead times are confirmed due to current market conditions for the project? When does the project need to be completed?

Response: At this time, the period of performance will remain unchanged. As outlined in the solicitation, the work is required to be completed within 90 days from the issuance of the Notice to Proceed (NTP), subject to the approval of all necessary submittals.

The NTP will be issued at the earliest feasible opportunity (this summer) once the contractor is prepared to begin work.

8. Can both sites be worked on concurrently or does the work need to be phased?

Response: Work can be performed on both sites concurrently as long as there is a superintendent on site on both sites.

9. Is the Contractor responsible for any import and export of soils?

Response: Correct. The contractor can also use nearby material/borrow for the project. Specific area to be determined once the project begins.

10. If unsuitable soils are found, will it be considered a change condition?

Response: If unsuitable soils are encountered, the contractor should promptly notify the Contracting Officer (CO) and Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) to assess whether a differing site condition is present and to determine the appropriate course of action. It is important to note that the contractor is strongly encouraged to conduct a site inspection independently before submitting a proposal. Failure to inspect the site prior to contract award will not be considered a valid basis for a claim post-award.

B. All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.
