This is a Questions and Answers document for the ID FLAP FS SC MULTI(1), Custer Motorway Stabilization Project. The document addresses a bidder inquiry regarding apparently duplicated line items in the bid schedule. The inquiry identified four bid items with identical descriptions and milepost locations: A0360 Plantings MP 25.3, A0380 Stream Diversion MP 25.3, B0400 Plantings MP 25.3, and B0440 Stream Diversion MP 25.3, and requested clarification on how to price these items or whether an updated proposal form would be issued.

The contracting officer's response, dated January 20, 2026, clarified that items A0360 and A0380 are designated for Schedule A, while items B0400 and B0440 are designated for Schedule B. Bidders are required to provide pricing for both Schedule A and Schedule B alternatives, with the caveat that only one schedule will be awarded. This structure allows the government to evaluate multiple project approaches while ultimately selecting a single execution path.
