Q&A Sheet

6973GH-24-Q-00112: Blaine Tree Trimming

1.) Are there any insurance requirements for the project?

A. Insurance Requirements can be found on page 26 of document 6973GH-24-Q-00112.

Clause AC3212 LIABILITY INSURANCE (JAN 1997).

2.) Any Federal approval needs to be done before the project start - We are already registered on SAM.gov. Any other requirements that we need to get done before hand?

A. The attached Updated CBP Contractor Information Sheet will need to be completed listing all workers who will be onsite for this project.

3.) How do we access the East Portion of Location 1? - Looks like the White Line which is a Canada border is just right there and there is no access point through road to go and take down those trees on the East Portion? --- Are we allowed to go through those corn fields to take those trees down? We would need to take heavy equipment to access those trees. Please guide us on a route and method to take those trees down.

A. Attached is a map that shows how they get to the road for the second location at Camera 20. There is a dirt road, but muddy, at the location.

4.) Location 2 (Camera 22) - Looks like there are more quantities of trees than specifies on scope of work. Please confirm the exact quantities of trees to be removed in our proposal?

A. Amounts updated in SOW.

5.) Location 3 - please confirm there is no tree removal in this area. Only limbing up of trees up to 5' in the whole highlighted yellow area only.

A. The trees at location 3 only need to be topped off below the camera level. There are six trees at this location.

6.) Please confirm if this will be prevailing wage job or not?

A. Yes. Clause 3.6.2-28 SERVICE CONTRACT LABOR STANDARDS (JUL 2023) has been included. I have attached the Wage Determination for this area.

7.) Is there any specific dumping are where the FAA would like us to dump all the trees and debris out on a site nearby?
