Solicitation 140FS223Q0106 CO – Rocky Mountain Arsenal NWR - Seed Purchase Amendment 00001 Questions:

1. Would there be any options for having substitutes for specific species, regarding place of origin? This would enable the best quality seed and ensure that the amounts listed could be provided.

Place of origin can be opened up to the full 400 mile radius, rather than banning some of those states that may fall within that radius.

2. I see the quantities and species requested for each mix but I don’t see the percent or rate for each species in the mix. Are we supposed to bid the whole mix and if so are you giving us rates for each species? Or do we bid each individual species in each mix on a PLS basis?

Whole mix.

3. The solicitation SOW requests - price per pound for each species and extended amount - however the solicitation looks like you want prices for each seed mix, except for Bee Plant, Scarlet Globe Mallow and Sunflower. Is that correct? Do you want a price for each species or for each mix at the stated quantity?

Yes. It is for the price per pound of pure live seed of the seed mix itself.

4. When I added up the quantities listed I got 8,180 lbs, but on the SOW it lists 8,140. Can you please confirm the requested lbs?

You are correct, it should be 8,180 lbs. That was a typo. Don't forget that the other table has additional seed to purchase on this order.

5. Can you provide what percent of each species you are requesting in each mix?
