QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FOR 140L4324Q0021
1. Are there pre-established survey routes that you can provide to bidders to better help estimate level of effort needed and improve price estimates?
Answer: While we have established calling stations, we do not have pre-established survey routes to get to them. We can provide detailed maps that indicate known road conditions which can help contractors navigate to our calling stations (See Attachments). It is important to note that road conditions are constantly changing and that while we attempt to maintain an updated database of current road conditions, recent weather events impact road conditions in ways that we are still discovering (down trees, mud slides, etc.). It is up to the contractor to determine how they would like to set up their survey routes. This allows contractors the flexibility to determine what survey route would best suit them.
1. a. Can you provide bidders with the number of calling station visits requiring the full 6-visit survey method and the number of calling stations requiring the 3-visit spot check method?
b. Can you provide a breakdown of station visit quantity into spot check station visits vs. full 6-visit protocol station visits?
Answer: We should assume all sites/survey areas need 6-visit surveys, with the potential for up to 8 surveys needing spot survey type visits (3 of the 6 surveys conducted in the first 4 weeks of season (March 15-April 15). 118 sites/survey areas x 6 visits + additional buffer in case sites need to be redone = 6,510 total calling station surveys. 15 sites will require walk in surcharges x 6 visits x 2 for additional buffers in case there are unexpected obstacles on the road = 180 walk in surcharges. See also below.
1. In SECTION B – SERVICES AND PRICES, item # 0030 lists the number of walk-in surcharges as 180, can you provide bidders with the number of calling stations requiring walk-in visits?
Answer: 15 sites will require walk in surcharges x 6 visits x 2 for additional buffers in case there are unexpected obstacles on the road = 180 walk in surcharges.
1. The Offer Due Date is listed as 02/02/2024 1400 PS and Requests for Information in section L.1.2 also has a due date by 02/02/2024 @ 1400 (2 p.m.) PT. Can you clarify for bidders the due date for RFQ versus the due date for any questions?
Answer: Offer due date is 02/02/2024 @ 1400 PS. Question deadline should have been 1/26/2024.
1. Will there be any calling stations in this solicitation that will be surveyed for the first time in 2024?
