Solicitation No. AG-94TZ-S-17-0120 Amendment 0001 07/27/2017

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

1. The scope of work states you will provide the shape files with the solicitation. I don’t see them on FBO?

Answer: Attached here on amendment 0001

2. Can contractors propose alternative staging areas not previously identified in the solicitation?

Answer: Contractors can propose alternative staging areas. Locations on FS Lands are subject to approval and documentation of permission to use private land must be provided.

3. The solicitation states the contract timeline is 30 days; however it does not start a contract start date. Is there a proposed start date?

Answer: The proposed contract start date is as soon as possible after the solicitation closes and contract award can be made. The actual 30 days starts with the issuance of the notice to proceed. The government intends to issue the notice to proceed as soon as practical after contract award.

4. In the solicitation (AG-94TZ-S-17-0120) for the seed needed for the Goodwin Fire, it is noted that the Forest Service will provide 3,224 lbs of the specified seed mix. The awarded contractor shall provide the remainder of the seed. Will the proportions of the seed provided by the USFS be precisely the same percentages as those percentages required to be provided by the contractor.

Answer: The Total Lbs Needed in the table titled Seed Mixture for Goodwin Fire Stabilization in the SOW is wrong. The correct Total Lbs Needed is 27,365. FS will provide 3,224 lbs of seed. The contractor will need to provide 24,141 lbs of seed. See table below.

Additionally, the seed the FS will provide is not that exact seed mix.
