About this file

This document is Amendment 0004 to Solicitation 140L3726Q0117, issued by the BLM FA-NTL Interagency Fire Center (FA250) in Boise, Idaho, with an effective date of July 9, 2026. The amendment addresses a Request for Information (RFI) received by the contract specialist regarding the project's period of performance and mobilization timeline. The document clarifies that the Period of Performance will remain 08/01/2026 to 11/14/2026, with no extension beyond November 14, 2026, despite contractor concerns about limited access due to high elevation and an unimproved two-track route across private land.

The government response indicates that the contract is anticipated to be awarded in August 2026, which would allow sufficient time for an October 1st mobilization date and completion of approximately 121 acres by the November 14, 2026 deadline. The government notes that wildlife restrictions take effect November 15, and while work could potentially continue with a wildlife exemption at the Pinedale Field Office's discretion, contractors should not expect such exemptions. The government suggests that limited access due to poor road conditions can be mitigated through alternative access methods, including foot access and UTV transport, and encourages site visits for contractors to assess their operational capabilities within the established performance period.

Amendment is issued to answer to an RFI received by the contract specialist.

Question: Given the project's high elevation and access limited to an unimproved two-track route across private land, we anticipate a realistic mobilization date closer to October

1, 2026. Based on that start date, we estimate roughly 32 working days would be available before the current November 14, 2026 completion date (per Amendment 0001), which may not be sufficient to complete all 121 acres to specification if early winter conditions limit access, as noted in the solicitation. If awarded the contract, would the Government consider extending the period of performance beyond November 14, 2026 (for example, through

November 14, 2027) to allow the remaining acreage to be completed in the following field season, should fall 2026 conditions limit progress?

Government Response: Any contractor that bids on this should have ample time to complete the work given that they start closer to the time the contract is awarded. We anticipate that this contract to be awarded in August so an

October 1st mobilization would be a limitation imposed by the contractor's schedule and not one imposed by the performance period of the contract. Due to wildlife restrictions going into affect November 15 it would be possible to continue work with a wildlife exemption but that would be at the discretion of the Pinedale

Field Office. Any exemptions to the winter range should not be expected and technical approaches should reflect an ability to complete the work within the performance period. Limited access due to poor road conditions could be facilitated by accessing the site on foot. Site visits are encouraged to gauge an individual contractors ability to employ such a potential alternative if waiting for conditions to improve is not deemed viable.

The roads across private land are good up until the final hill climb the last 2/3 of a mile to the project area where the alternative route in wet conditions is located. This could be
