About this file
This document is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) document for Solicitation 127EAX26R0004 for Santa Fe Water System Upgrades. The Q&A addresses several key project details, including a proposal due date extension to 17 December, site access, and construction logistics. Contractors are informed that on-site camping with a recreation vehicle may be permitted (without utility hookups), campsites will be closed during construction, and the Forest Service will completely close project sites during construction.
Electrical work details specify that while contractors are not restricted to using Mora-San Miguel Electric Coop for secondary lines, all primary electric lines and meters must be coordinated through them. The contractor has flexibility to work multiple sites simultaneously, provided a clear schedule is submitted to the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR). Additional clarifications include no temporary utilities being available, no seasonal closures applying, and confirmation that quantities in the Statement of Information (SOI) will be the basis for pricing, with actual installed quantities determining final contract amount at agreed unit costs.
