June 15, 2022

1. I was unable to request access to additional attachments on the solicitation page (even though I was signed in to SAM). Were there additional documents beyond B08, A04 and SOL?

No.

2. On page 3 of the SOW under Task 2 Data Collection “At this time it is not anticipated that the consultant will undertake primary or secondary data collection, excepting gathering what data is necessary to add in newly modified ranching features to be amended to the evaluation”.

Products under Task 2 discusses field inventory of all features that include GPS plotting, condition assessments, photography, etc. Given the size of the ranch, this difference is significant. How many previously recorded features and newly located features are there on the ranch? Will additional pedestrian survey be required to identify new features?

Yes, additional pedestrian survey and mapping will be necessary to identify new features, although there shouldn't be too many of those since the original inventory was conducted, probably less than 15. About 370 features were inventoried previously.

3. Are there any research repositories onsite that are likely to have historical background? And if not onsite, are there any other known repositories that would likely have information?

Outside of the previous existing inventory there would only be interviews with the ranching family itself for historical background. There would also be some info available at the Mojave Desert Heritage and Cultural Association in Goffs, CA.

4. Would be able to get a copy of the original inventory and assessment that is referenced in the

SOW?

Yes. Email the Contracting Officer for this document. It is too large for upload.
