140L1220R0006/0002 determine if they meet the government's requirements. A treatment plan will be provided to the successful bidder at a meeting prior to work commencing. The plan will identify the leave trees and shrubs and specific treatment requirements.

Q9. Some access to units appear to be past locked access. Is there a way to view them prior to bidding due dates?

Q9. We would need specific locations to answer that, however the answer under #11 below applies to this question also. There are some areas where you would need permission to cross private property, which we cannot arrange for at this time.

Q10. Does the subcontractor need to also be an

8a company or does a small business designation apply?

A10. Subcontractors do not need to be 8(a) firms.

IAW FAR 52.219-14 (included in the solicitation), at least 50 percent of the cost of contract performance incurred for contract performance shall be expended for employees of the concern. Also, per FAR 19.809-2 "Limitations on subcontracting and nonmanufacturer rule. (a)

Limitations on subcontracting. To be awarded a contract or order under the 8(a) program, the

8(a) participant is required to perform¿ (1) For services (except construction), at least 50 percent of the cost incurred for personnel with its own employees."

Q11. We understand the government will not be hosting a site survey. However, is our team allowed to tour the lands on our own, without cost to the government?

A11. Yes you are allowed to go out there without a BLM escort. We remind you to understand the situation and not impede the Border Patrol's operations. There are some areas where you would need permission to cross private property, which we cannot arrange for at this time. Please note that the government is not responsible for any costs or for any damage or injury that may happen to you or your equipment. We are not
