Q2) Will multiple task orders be issued in sections for the 200 acres, or will the successful contractor be able to put together a work plan that will allow us to utilize the entire period of performance to complete the 200 acres? Weather and ground conditions will be a huge factor in actual work days.

A2) The contractor will have until November 2023 to complete the 200 acres. This is more than enough time to complete the project given the weather, terrain, ground conditions, fire precautionary shutdowns, etc.

Q3) We would like to conduct a site visit to get a general idea of the condition and terrain of the 200 acres. Is this possible? Are there locked gates prohibiting us from entering? Are there any additional maps or documentation available to help aid us in a self-lead site visit?

A3) A site visit is possible but will be difficult to schedule because of upcoming prescribed fire projects ¿ next Thursday (4/28) will work. The refuge is closed to the public this time of year, and there is a chance that Law

Enforcement would be called if a non-FWS vehicle is seen by one of the refuge neighbors. Please contact me directly to schedule a site visit.

(John Brodbeck 530-708-7723). A map is attached ¿ the work will be treating up to 200 acres within the 1200 acre highlighted area. The 2nd map highlights a steep portion of the project area, approximately 45 acres.

Period of Performance: 05/02/2022 to 11/30/2023
