Questions and Answers
1. Question: Are there roadways in the area where the contractor can bring in large vehicles?
Answer: There is paved road access to the southern end of the treatment units, the rest of the access is via dirt roads. Low boy transport can get to the southern portion, equipment will have to be walked to the northern portion of the treatment. To get to the northern portion of the treatment will require crossing a cement low water crossing, be prepared to cover the concrete for the crossing as walking it around the side will not be allowed due to riparian T&E habitat.
2. Question: Are you able to share what the area will be used for after the trimming?
This is to help the contractor determine how to proceed with the trimming services.
Answer: This treatment is a part of a grassland restoration project in the Las Cienegas National Conservation Area. The treatment occurs in a very high visitor use areas and is a part of an active grazing allotment. The northern portion of the treatment area is used extensively for hiking, horseback riding and bird dog trials.
3. Question: Do you have an ideal way that you desire the waste to be disposed of?
Answer: The slash can be windrowed as you go, Ideally the unit would be grubbed in a grid pattern, were the resulting slash is placed off to one side of each pass. The windrow does not need to be compacted, gathered up or otherwise manipulated once it is placed in line. We do ask that windrows are not placed immediately adjacent to roadways or fence lines.
4. Question: Is there a dump near by? Or are we do chip and mulch back on the land?
Answer: The slash generated during the thinning process will be windrowed and left on site.
5. Question: Are there any permits required for this job?
Answer: There is an underground gas pipeline of the western boundary of the treatment units. The vendor will be responsible for Blue Stake and coordination with the gas company. No other permits are required.
6. Question: Are there any licenses required for this job?
Answer: No licenses are required.
7. Question: What is the minimum amount of liability that you are requiring?
