Submitted Questions with Answers

1. Where is the designated water source?

Frenchman Boat launch

2. Could we get a bf volume per unit breakdown?

I attached the cruise reports with this info. Look for the U1 reports.

3. Would it be possible to complete the removal of debris in landing at the end of project instead of within 15 days of the last load of forest products?

This could be negotiated, depending on the location of the landing and timeframe. This stipulation was put in place to make sure landing piles were not left in campgrounds for too long.

Especially Subdivision 16, which the landing will be the boat launch parking lot. This will mean a Forest Order closure. So we want the material removed from the parking lot as soon as possible.

4. Typically Road Maintenance / Slash Treatment / Surface Replacement are not included in service contracts. The contract has Surface deposits being required, is this contract meant to have surface deposits?

This is correct, my mistake, surface replacement can be removed from the contract

5. In Appendix B page 2 the contract states that maximum stump height shall not exceed 6'' for saw timber and 3'' for biomass. On page 19 of Appendix B it states that stumps shall not exceed 1'' in height for visual quality within recreation sites. My interpretation of this is that within camp grounds the stump height should not exceed 1'' in height and outside of camp grounds the stumps shouldn't exceed 6'' or 3''. Is this correct?

This is correct

6. Would it be possible to extend the termination date?

As long as it does not interrupt the recreational season of the campgrounds. I would feel comfortable giving an extension if needed.
