| Response | No, in the Statement of Work, DIVISION TWO – SITE WORK Part 3.3 #7-For the purposes of minor or major crossings and corner bracing; (straddle jack’s will not be used in minor or major crossings or anywhere else in the fence line segments). Holes will need to be drilled in areas where posts cannot be driven into the ground. |

| Question 2 | How many significant canyons does the fence cross? |

| Response | No, H Braces, stress panels and corner braces need to be constructed from steel. |
| Note. | The specifications for steel H braces have been added to the updated Statement of Work. |
| Question 4 | The statement of work states that the fence is approximately 5 miles, did that account for terrain and elevation? |
| Response | GIS was used to measure the distance of the fence. Exact distance is hard to determine with variables such as terrain and elevation. |
| Question 5 | If the fence is more than 5 miles due to terrain and elevation would the contractor be responsible for completing fence beyond the 5 miles listed in the solicitation? |
| Response | The Solicitation is for 5 miles of fence, the contractor would be expected to construct 5 miles of fence. Contact the Contracting Officer or Contracting Officer’s Representative before constructing more. |
| Note | Statement of work has been updated to 5 miles total. |
| Question 6 | Regarding access to the work site during the winter months. Are there times when the area is inaccessible? |
| Response | Yes, during winter months heavy snows can make the site inaccessible, monsoonal rain can also limit access to the site. As stated in the SOW Proceed with work only when weather conditions are favorable. This includes limiting activities to periods when the soil and ground surface are not wet in order to avoid soil compaction and rutting. |
Questions received via email Question 1 How accessible is the build site? Would truck and trailer have any issues getting material and equipment in?
Response Some portions of the fence can be accessed by a truck and trailer as weather permits. The main access is the winter road, which can be rough.
The fence line south of the Winter Road (see map attached to statement of work) is not accessible to truck and trailer. This portion of the fence can be accessed by 4WD high clearance vehicles from the House Rock Valley Road.
Question 2 Please provide the GPS coordinates for the start and end points of the fence.
Response Coordinates have been added to map attached to the Updated Statement of Work.
| Question 3 | Is the site visit mandatory to submit our bid proposal? |
| Response | It is not required to submit a bid. |
| Question 4 | As we missed the Site Visit on June 8, 2022, at 10:00 am GMT is there a chance of arranging one more site visit? |
| Response | We will not have to time to provide another site visit but you may visit the roads and access points with the attached map. |
