This document is a set of Questions and Answers related to the South Fork Aerial Seeding & Mulching solicitation. The solicitation is for an emergency seeding and mulching project to restore soil productivity and vegetation coverage on National Forest System lands impacted by the South Fork Fire. The key details include:
The project requires aerial application of a designated seed mixture and wheat straw mulch on slopes between 20-65%. GIS files including KMZ will be provided post-award. The solicitation had a typographical error stating 1 foot deep straw mulch, which should read 1 inch deep. Barley straw is acceptable as an alternative to the specified wheat straw, as long as it is certified weed-free.

Questions and Answers 9/5/2024
1. Q: Would you be able to release KMZ files of treatment areas for bidding purposes?
A: GIS files including KMZ will be provided post-award
2. Q: Solicitation indicates 1 foot deep straw mulch assuming should read 1 inch?
A: The actual language is an application of 1 ton per acre. The 1 foot deep statement was a typographical error and should read 1 inch deep, which equals 1 ton per acre spread evenly across the project area.
3. Q: Would barley straw be allowed; it is the most readily available weed free certified straw.
A: Barley straw is fine for use. Normally wheat straw is less expensive and readily available in the amounts needed, depending on the annual crop yields, which is why that was written in. Whichever is used does need to be certified weed-free.
