Questions and Answers

Question 1: Solicitation number. Attachment 1 (Provisions and Clauses) references the RFQ number as 140FS3246R0010, while the solicitation notice and the required subject-line format use 140FS326R0010. Please confirm 140FS326R0010 is the correct number to use on our question and quote submissions.

Answer 1: 140FS326R0010 is the correct number

Question 2: Payment basis / treatable acreage. The Quote Schedule prices a fixed quantity of 1,204 acres on a per-acre basis. PWS Section 3.1 notes that ponds, wet or soft areas, steep ditches, and other features may prevent machine access, with "in lieu of" acres negotiated or inaccessible areas skipped with no negative reflection on performance.

Will the contractor be paid for the full 1,204 acres at the quoted unit price, or will final payment be adjusted to the actual acres treated?

Answer 2: Multiple invoices can be submitted for work completed in accordance with the Quote schedule 3. It is no options being requested.

Question 3: Option quantities. The Addendum to 52.212-2 (Evaluation) states that "the total price for all options will be added to the total price for the basic requirement," but the Quote Schedule contains only the single 1,204-acre line. Please confirm there are no option periods or option quantities to be priced.

Answer 3: No options being requested

Question 4: Key personnel experience. PWS Section 9.1 requires supervisory personnel to have at least two (2) years of relevant supervisory experience, while the Instructions to Offerors (Factor 3, Key Personnel and Subcontractors) require personnel to demonstrate at least five (5) years of relevant experience. Please confirm which minimum applies for this requirement.

Answer 4: The minimum experience noted in the PWS Section 9.1 applies. Please complete the past performance attachment so we can determine the recency and relevancy of your experience.

Question 5: Seasonal closure window. PWS Section 5.2 states the treatment area may be closed during the spring due to endangered species nesting.

Given the September 1, 2026 - September 30, 2027 period of performance, can you provide the expected closure/blackout window (approximate start and end dates) so equipment and crews can be scheduled accordingly?

Answer 5: Seasonal closure depends on where the nests are located which changes yearly. I work closely with the endangered species biologist on knowledge of these locations. Normally March-July are the key months. So not all areas will be closed at once.

Question 6: Wage determination. Attachment 4 is an SCA Wage Determination.

Please identify which labor classification(s) apply to the mastication equipment operators for this work, and whether a conformance will be required if the applicable classification is not listed.

Answer 6: A conformance will be required if the applicable classification is not listed.

Question 7: Incumbent / prior award. Is this work currently under contract (a recompete)? If so, please share the incumbent contractor's name, the prior contract number, the awarded price of the previous contract, and how many quotes were received.

Answer 7: This is a new contract with no option year.
