AMENDMENT 0002:

The purpose of this amendment is to respond to vendor questions received to date, #5-8:

Question #5:

Looking at the price sheet it shows 9 days total per year over 5 years does that mean your only allocated 9 days per year to complete project?

Response: The maximum number of days that could be allocated to complete the project is 9 days per year.

Question #6:

Also looking at the previous contracts there was two bids a few months apart were those totals what was awarded for each contract period that was listed, for the two periods of 2021? Or did those amounts cover more time then was shown on those previous contracts?

Response: Contract 140P3021C0006 had a modification that de-obligated funds. The contractor did not have to work as many days as we paid them for because they reached the goal.

Question #7:

I see this is broke down by day is it a paid total for the year or is it paid by the day for instance if the quota was met in 2 days would you only be paid the price per day for 2 days or would you still be paid total contract amount for that year beings it would be complete for the year and vice versa if the project takes long will the contractor be paid the same price per day beyond the 9 days till the quota is met I only ask because hunting can be very unpredictable and have alot of variables to complete something like this.

Response: If you complete the work in less days than were awarded then you would still be paid the awarded price. Contractor is responsible for culling a minimum of 90% of the proposed deer culling goal set forth by the deer survey. If less than 90% have been removed after working the number of awarded days, the contractor shall prepare a written statement outlining all facts that directly contributed to the contractor's inability to achieve the goal and submit it to the COR for review. If the reasoning is acceptable to the COR, the project will either end for the season or the COR may decide to award additional calls for days of work to reach the goal, not to exceed a total of 9 days per call. If the reasoning is not acceptable to the COR, the contractor will be asked to work more days without additional funding and if they do not, the COR may decide not to place any more calls on the BPA.

Preserving unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and values of the national park system for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations.

Question #8:

When would be the actual start of this contract performance period?

Response: A call will be issued against the BPA as soon as the BPA is awarded. Discussions with the park about bait and tree stand placement will take place in December. The contractor will be required to apply for a Maryland deer cooperator permit in December. The park will begin baiting in January with a start date for shooting as early as January 15.

All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.
