late in the year, is it possible to get a set time period in calendar days to complete the work so we are covered if award is later than anticipated?

Please provide your proposed number of calendar days in your quote submission.

The performance work statement references distribution and transmission poles but the support documents all reference transmission poles. It looks like this project is only transmission poles (1012 total) but we would like to make sure. Can we get clarification on the expected number of transmission and distribution poles? This is important since transmission poles are substantially larger, spaced further apart and tend to run through remote mountainous country resulting in a higher inspection cost compared to distribution poles. Understanding the ratio will have a significant impact on pricing.

There are 543 transmission poles, 378 distribution poles, and 91 meter site distribution poles. Exhibit A, Required Pole

List, includes the latitude and longitude of each pole for estimating spacing between poles and general terrain.
