Amendment_1_Questions_and_Answers_0001.docx

This file is an Amendment 1 Questions and Answers document for the Yellowstone National Park Fiber Broadband to Grant solicitation (140P1426R0014). The document addresses three key inquiries regarding project scope and deliverables. The Park has clarified that it is seeking a service provider to build and own the fiber network while providing internet services back to Yellowstone National Park, rather than transferring asset ownership to the Park. Regarding fiber mileage, the estimated underground fiber distances are specified in tables within the Statement of Work, and the Park expects contractors to provide detailed design documentation including fiber routes and designated equipment locations in their proposals. NEPA environmental review has been completed for fiber installation throughout developed areas of the park. This Q&A amendment supplements the original solicitation for a negotiated firm-fixed contract valued between $250,000 and $500,000, with work to be performed at Yellowstone National Park in Teton County, Wyoming. Offerors must demonstrate capability to obtain and maintain a valid right-of-way permit from the National Park Service prior to beginning work and must provide annual work plans by April 1st each year for any maintenance, vegetation management, or work activities within the authorized work area.
