QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS THROUGH AUGUST 26, 2016.

Q1: Could you please provide the incumbent contract number? If not, is this a new requirement?

A1: The two previous awarded contracts were AG-82X9-C-11-0090 to Shell Valley Consultants and AG-82X9-C-0091 to Chestnut Ridge Forestry. This is not a new requirement.

Q2: Can you bid on only some of the schedule items, for example only the Bighorn National Forest Schedule of Items.

A2: No. you must submit pricing for all Schedule of Items.

Q3: What is the process of gaining certification in Region 2?

A3: The Point of Contract for Region 2 Certification is Kurt Stagner, Regional Measurement Specialist. His contact information is via email kstagner@fs.fed.us or Phone: (970) 874-6611 or

(970) 596-7852.

Q4: I have staff that is certified in Region 1 and Region 10, does Region 2 honor these certifications?

A4: Cruisers from other regions need to provide documentation of their training and certification and have a successful check cruise on a set of R2 test plots. Contact Kurt Stagner.

Q5: Is it required to be a Region 2 certified cruiser to submit a proposal?

A5: See Section G.4 Region 2 Certified Cruiser, Section H.1 Key Personnel and Section M.1.1 Factor 1.1 of the solicitation.

Q6: I noticed that a site visit is not scheduled, can we request a site visit to project areas?

A6: You may visit the site (reference L.8). Government employees may or may not be available to accompany you to project sites and they cannot answer questions.

Q7: I noticed that there are 7 units on Shoshone Task Order [2016-02] that are missing on the map they are units 30, 33, 34 East Fork; units 32, 33 Middle Fork; and units 40, 46 West Fork.

Will there be an updated map?

A7: Those units were on the list; however, numbers may not have been readable, an updated map is being posted with this amendment that show those areas outlined in light blue.

Q8: Is 21,000 the number of trees to be marked or the number of trees to be cruised. (Reference Bighorn Task Order 2016-01)

A8: Because unit layout has not been completed yet, the number of actual acres for tasks B6 Tree Marking, B11 Tree Tally/Cruise Tree ID, and B12 Timber Cruise trees are not known.

Therefore, the number of trees is approximate.
