QUESTION RESPONSE

1 Attachment D, Page 3 of 24, Section 2.2.1, Safety plans:

Some of the field survey areas are located in patches of sword grass, which often have feral pig activity and limited visibility. Are there recommended safety measures for surveying in these areas?

There are no recommended safety measures for surveying in these areas. However, Offerors shall develop and submit an Accident Prevention Plan (APP), including an Activity Hazardous Analysis (AHA) as an appendix.

2 Attachment D, Page 11of 24, Section 7.22, Work Element 3, field work

PWS states that the performance standard is completed field work as specified in project plans and other requirements of the PWS with no health and safety incidents. While safety is a top priority, it is not possible to completely eliminate the potential for safety incidents due to the nature of the work. If a there is a health and safety incident, does that mean that the performance standard will not be met and payment and or a positive review will be withheld?

Safety is a top priority. Offerors shall develop and submit an Accident Prevention Plan (APP), including an Activity Hazardous Analysis (AHA) as an appendix. These reports are intended to reduce/prevent safety incidents.

Contractors that follow the standards of their approved APP, AHA and HACCP and follow general safety precautions would not necessarily result in non-payment of the final work element and/or a negative evaluation.

3 Attachment D, Page 5 of 24, Section 3.2, Experience requirement

The PWS requests a list of personnel who will work on this project and their CVs. In order to meet the proposed schedule, we may hire additional staff or subcontract some of the work after the project has been awarded. Can additional qualified staff be added to the project after award with Government approval?

CVs would be provided for approval.

This is a fixed price, performance based requirement. As such, Offerors are responsible to propose an approach that meets the requirements as prescribed in the Performance Work Statement.

4 Attachment D, page 4 of 24, Section 2.3.1, #2

The Contractor will conduct surveys on parallel fixed width (10m) transects for listed plants and invertebrates… Do these surveys require 100% coverage of the surveyed terrain, or just what is encountered/observed along each transect?

100% coverage is needed, transects 10m apart should allow surveyors to see everything between transects.

5 Attachment D, page 4 of 24, Section 2.3.1, #1 and #2

The PWS for these sections specify surveys for ESA-listed plants, butterfly host plants, and invertebrates, while #3 indicates that

Data is required for ESA-listed plants and invertebrates only. Host plants for wandering butterfly do not need to be recorded.

RFQ N40192-21-Q-5004; RFI NOTICE 01

Attachment (1) RFQ Amendment 0001 data will be collected on all ESA-listed species. Is data required for all ESA-listed species, or just plants and invertebrates? Will host plants for the extirpated wandering butterfly also need to be recorded?

6 RFQ We would like to request an additional week to work with our partners to prepare a bid. Can the submittal date be moved to 9 August 2021 for RFQ N4019221Q5004?

See RFQ Amendment 0001.

7 We would like to request an extension at this time to Thursday the 5th.

See RFQ Amendment 0001.
