Pearl Cache Pre-Bid Meeting

Topics reviewed and discussed by Mike Montgomery (FS):

1. There will be pre-haul maintenance as part of this contract.

Question: Do contractors have to submit a bid for Optional Unit (B.2.2)?

Answer: Yes, Forest Service would like to see bids on the Optional Unit.

2. Reviewed solicitation section F.1.3 Period of Performance.

3. Reviewed solicitation section H.23. Slash Treatment.

1. Reviewed Appendix B, A.2 Volume Estimate and Utilization. Included volume is sawlog only. Non-sawtimber is required to be cut, and lop and scattered to 24”. If the Contractor requests to remove non-sawtimber, it could be agreed to by the Contracting Officer (CO), including rates of payment for the material and accountability requirements.

4. Optional Unit shall be Whole Tree Yarded, see Appendix A. Forest Service would consider slash takeback in Clear- Cut Units to meet lop and scatter requirements.

5. Overstory Removal Units – reviewed appendix A, Task 1 - Task 5.

6. Forest Service went through solicitation sections L and M. Reminded contractors to answer ALL of the questions in section L in proposal and alternate (if submitting).

7. Alternate proposals shall be a stand-alone proposal in addition to the required proposal. Alternate proposals need to be clearly marked as alternate. Alternate proposals can be attached to the same email submission as the required proposal.

Question: Are all factors equal?

Answer: No. Reviewed solicitation sections L and M.

8. Reviewed solicitation section H.4 Use of Roads by Contractor – Forest Service discussed haul restrictions and need for overweight permit if hauling north on the NFSR 169.0.

9. Reviewed solicitation section H.7.1 Closure to Use by Others – gates closed to general public can be waived by agreement with the Forest Service.

Question: Will Contractor be allowed to cross trails?

Answer: Yes. Forest Service will agree on location of crossings and mitigation measures.

Question: Since one proposal is due on February 20th and the other is due on February 28th, is there any way of knowing who was awarded the first contract (Elkhorn 3) before submitting a proposal for the second (Pearl Cache)?

Answer: No. Contract period of performance appear to be sufficient to complete both contracts.

Question: What is the target timeframe for award?

Answer: Approximately 4 weeks after receiving bids.
