1. Is this just a quote submittal and no need to submit a technical proposal to accompany the quote?

A technical proposal will help us determine whether or not the contractor has the ability/equipment to perform the work.

2. Can an excavator or any other piece of equipment with metal tracks and is low ground pressure be used? We were a little confused with the wording in the solicitation between rubber and metal tracked.

Metal tracked equipment is acceptable.

3. Are there slope restrictions and what degree slopes would we be working on?

The terrain varies – slopes between 0-30%. Some areas are rocky, but the majority of the ground is workable. There are no slope restrictions. FWS and the contractor can throw out acres and substitute new acres as needed. For example, if 5 acres are not suitable for equipment, then another 5 acres that are suitable for equipment can be substituted.

4. What is to be done with the mixed conifer trees (can they be chipped and thrown or do they have to be removed and trucked out)?

All vegetation (trees, brush, slash, etc) is to be masticated (chipped and scattered).

5. What is to be done with the leaf tree branches that are cut to the 6 foot height? (Chipped or removed)?

Branches are to be chipped or scattered in open areas as to not create ladder fuels underneath the leave trees.

6. Can the juniper trees be layed down and we mow off the branches with the mastication head to a height of less than 24 inches and that debri left on the ground in a pile or does it have to be scattered? Our mastication head has the ability to throw things up to 300 feet to scatter it if that is acceptable?

Juniper trees can be felled and then masticated to a height of less than 24 inches. Debris can be scattered/chipped. The project area identified has very few junipers.

7. Is there a topo map available?

Unfortunately, I do not have a topo map available at the moment. Ballpark elevation range is between 4600’ and 5200
