RFQ 1284LL24Q0094
Amendment 0001
a. The following are prospective offeror questions and the Government’s response to each of those questions:
Q1 – The season up here is pretty short. When do they typically do this work? June, July, August, September, or?
A1 – Typically May through October, depending on elevation and snow.
Q2 – We are going to look at these roads this week, but can you break down when these roads were last brushed?
A2 – The roads are drivable and have had different brushing schedules of when they were brushed the last time. Thus, we cannot provide brush date information on any particular road.
Q3 – Do you have any maps for the Cabinet Ranger District roads?
A3 – Yes, a new attachment to this solicitation which are maps that show Cabinet RD roads (Attachment 7) is incorporated herein.
Q4 – I also do not see a minimum size standard for the hourly excavator work. Can you specify?
A4 – The Schedule of Items (SOI) is revised. In the revised Attachment 1 - SOI, the Excavator work is shown as only for the Cabinet District, and the Three Rivers hourly work is for a Brushing Tractor.
Line Item 0010 is also changed to reflect a new From Road (now 524) and From Road Name (now Meadow Creek).
The above changes to the SOI are highlighted in green in the Excel spreadsheet. See the newly revised Schedule of Items – Attachment 1. Please use this revised SOI Excel Sheet for your pricing.
b. Attachment 8 – Exhibit A Typical Clearing Details is hereby incorporated herein.
c. In your proposal email, please state the RFQ # on the Subject Line and the Title of this procurement action and your Business Name, as follows: 1284LL24Q0094 Brushing Services for Three Rivers & Cabinet RDs – Name of Company.
The reason for this is because there are several Brushing Services requirements that are due around the same timeframe in September as this one, so it is easy to mix up emailed proposals for brushing services.
d. The deadline for receipt of proposals in response to this solicitation is hereby extended to 5:00 p.m.
Central Time on 12 September 2024. Please email your Price and Technical Proposal to mary.harding@usda.gov.
mailto:mary.harding@usda.gov
