Questions and Answers

Question 1: Looking at the document labeled "Attachment_2_-_Quote_Schedule" and the Unit price is labeled per acre. In the document "Attachment_1-_Performance_Work_Statement" it states "Quotes will need to be submitted with a cost per day ($/day) format. " Can you please clarify how the pricing should be submitted?

Answer 1: Cost per, revised Quote schedule included.

Question 2: The Quote schedule states the period of performance to be 'Contract award- 05/31/2027'.

The Performance Work Statement has 'August 1st, 2025, through January 1st, 2028'. Please clarify

Answer 2: Contract award- 05/31/2027

Question 3: Would the implementation of prescribed fire operations be done alongside other agency resources, or would the 2 Five-person modules and Type2 Dozer be expected to accomplish the prep and burn on their own?

Answer 3: Prescribed Fire Implementation: The implementation of prescribed fire operations would be alongside agency resources. The 2 Five-person modules and Type2 Dozer would not be implementing the actual prescribed fire operations without agency overhead overseeing the prescribed burning.

Prescribed Fire Preparation: The 2 five-person modules and Type 2 dozer would be briefed on the specs for the prep by an agency representative, but the majority of the prep would likely be completed independently

Question 4: Would the implementation of prescribed fire operations be done alongside other agency resources, or would the 2 Five-person modules and Type2 Dozer be expected to accomplish the prep and burn on their own?

Answer 4: FFT is sufficient. However, each module will need to have a designated point of contact.

Question 5: Would the presence of higher-level quals (FFT1, RXB3, etc) be a factor when making an award decision?

Answer 5: Yes, if a crew had FFT1s, CRWB etc. that could be a factor in awarding the decision.

Question 6: How would pricing work in the event of a slopover or other event requiring the Contractor to exceed the 10 hour day?

Answer 6: Currently there are 10 days requested (with the option for two additional days). Days are considered to be 8 hour workdays. That adds up to 80 hours (with an additional 16 hours optional). If the contractor exceeded 10 hours then future shifts would be adjusted as to not exceed the 80 hours (or the optional 16 additional hours).

Question 7: What is the Occupational Code and Title for the individuals performing the work on a Five- Person Burn Module, for purposes of the SCA Wage Determination?

Answer 7: Forestry SCA Wage Determination provided by Dept of Labor attached.
