Supply a pump, hose and water supply for equipment used on an operation. Pump must be maintained ready to operate and capable to provide a discharge of not less than 20 gallons per minute at 115 psi at pump level. Note: Volume pumps will not produce the necessary pressure to effectively attack a fire start. Pressure pumps are recommended. Water supply shall be a minimum of 300 gallons if a self-propelled engine. Water supply shall be a minimum of 500 gallons if not self-propelled (pond, stream, tank, sump, trailer, etc.) One water supply is adequate as long as the operator can deliver water to the fire within 10 minutes Provide enough hose (500 feet minimum) not less than 3/4" inside diameter to reach areas where power driven machinery has worked.

2. Is this a new a new solicitation? If not, what is the contract number of previous and has acreage changed?

This mowing project has been performed in the past under contract 140L4321P0053. The

Contracting Officer is not the same for this solicitation. Requirements of the solicitation have been changed from the last award so it would not be considered the same project.

3. Do you have unit maps with acreage?

Maps and units change annually. The mowing services general areas are shown on the provided maps. Areas to be mowed will not be the same year to year. Overall mowing will be approximately 300 acres per year.

4. When was all this last mowed?

Compliance is 2-3 times annually. Prairie mowing occurs approximately every 2-3 years on a rotation for the parcels.

5. Map shows WEW mastication in red and BLM land in yellow. Mastication...do you mean mowing, correct?

Typo on the map, mowing is the correct wording.

6. When was the mowing done last year for the 2-3

140L3724Q0059/0001 times required by city code and can you give me maps of these 16-20 acre areas?

Compliance mowing occurred 2 times last year.

Once in May and in June. Depending on the year and grass growth there could be an additional

July or August compliance mow.

Maps will be provided to the awarded contractor.

7. Could a skid steer mounted mower be used on this project? We do have the 40+ hp sealed cab tractor w/ flail to do the job, but the skid steer mowers work much better.

Yes, a skid steer mounted mowers can be used on the project. Your email says you have the required tractor with attachments, which currently performs the majority of our mowing workload, so the requirement is met.

8. There will not be a formal site tour.

9. Do you know if this roadside mowing is sloped and must be done with a boom mower that extends out 15-20 feet? Or are the roadsides drivable and able to be mowed with a pull behind mower?

The roadside mowing is drivable and has been ground based mowed without a boom mower.

10. Will site surveys be given for the areas mowed for my company to give a thorough estimate?

All quoters have access to the maps included with the RFQ. There is not a site tour planned but you may examine the area yourself if desired. It is public lands.

11. Are we permitted to bid if we have not won an award or experience as a prime?

It is not required that you have experience as a prime to be awarded the contract. Past performance is rated as neutral for those without past performance. Past performance can also be established by using non-government projects and/or subcontracting experience. You do have to be enrolled in the System for Awards Management

(sam.gov) to receive a government contract.
