Amendment 0001 – Questions and Answers

Q1.) Can you bid on certain mountain ranges i.e. Gallatin Mountain 370 acres or Lolo 600 acres or the bid must be all mountain ranges included in bid?

A1.) No. You need to quote by forest so as stated in the solicitation, you may quote on one or more of the forests but when quoting, the quoter must quote on all items for that particular forest(s) for the base and all option years. Refer to FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation - Commercial Items (OCT 2014) of the solicitation. You cannot quote by mountain range, it is by forest. If you want to quote on just one forest or more than one forest or all the forests, you can do so.

Q2.) Is a permit required for pulling water out of a creek to fill water tank?

A2.) No permit needed; however, the FS could designate fill locations but it is not a guarantee that fill locations will be available in the contract area. Please review Section C for scope of work regarding water.
