Amendment 002 to Solicitation No. AG-3C78-S-16-0022 USDA-NRCS KDWPT Trost-Borchardt WRP

The following items are hereby removed from the solicitation:

Range planting and chemical herbicide weed control are hereby deleted from the solicitation for Site 2 and Site 3 (shown on construction drawings sheet 23 of 24). These sites have significant tree growth which will prohibit the specified range seed drilling and chemical herbicide application.

Questions/Answers:

Q1) Can Hydro-Seeding be done in place of the Critical Area Seeding and Mulching.

A1) No. For typical areas that can be seeded by a drill and then mulched, Hydro-Seeding will not be allowed. If especially difficult, inaccessible critical planting areas are identified such that broadcast seeding is determined to not be practical, the Hydro-Seeding option might be considered. Currently, no such areas are identified. The Contractor would need to make written request to the Contracting Officer with justification at least 30 calendar days prior to anticipated final grading of these especially difficult, inaccessible areas to allow consideration and a decision to be made. If approval for hydro-seeding would be granted, seedbed preparation as well as mulching and anchoring of these difficult areas by hand methods would still apply.

All other terms and conditions remain the same.
