AMENDMENT_02_-_Q_A_2_2_2026_0002.xlsx

This is a Questions and Answers document amendment for a tree felling solicitation at Delaware Water Gap National Monument in Pennsylvania. The document clarifies project scope and requirements through thirteen answered contractor inquiries related to the Statement of Objectives (SOO).

Key clarifications include: trees 10" diameter at breast height (DBH) or smaller must be felled and removed completely (34 trees); trees between 10"-30" DBH (10 trees) and 30"-38" DBH (5 trees) must be felled, limbed, and bucked into 10-12 foot sections and left in place; shrub scrub removal covers 3.4 acres; all work must be completed by March 31, 2026, with no phased completion allowed; trees already downed on the ground do not require removal; the contractor must mark all trees for removal with government verification by the park and Department of the Interior; guardrails remain in place and are not part of the scope; the E&S drawing set shows the limit of disturbance defining the work area; and no photographs are available—site assessment was conducted via Google Earth virtual walk-through. Several responses indicate pending park clarification on brush disposal methods and whether tree debris can be chipped and broadcast on-site or requires off-site hauling. The park has no designated location for brush, wood, or chip debris disposal.
