The date set for receipt of proposals is changed from Monday, August 8, 2011, to Wednesday, August 10, 2011.

Contract line items 104 and 107 are clarified to show that revegetation for the SE Quadrant falls under option item 4 and revegetation for the NE and SW Quadrants falls under option item 7 -- see replacement solicitation page 4. The in-stream work requirement is clarified -- see replacement solicitation pages 11 and 29. A new clause is added to indicate Government ownership of some trees felled on the worksite -- see new solicitation page 14.1, to be inserted between pages 14 and 15. All culvert pipes are to be corrugated polyethelene pipe (CPP) rather than steel or iron -- see new solicitation page 14.1 and specifications page 80. These replacement pages are part of this solicitation amendment -02.
