(5) Questions are due to the Contracting Officer by 10:00 a.m. central time on 8/24/2017.

Responses or information conveyed by anyone other than the Contracting Officer are not valid and will not effect any change to the solicitation or its attachments.

price. Pointed out the Evaluation Factors for

Award and the adjectival ratings by which quotes will be rated. These are located in the Clauses and Provisions of the solicitation. Since the number of units and acreage to be awarded will be contingent upon the pricing in quotes received and the amount of government funds budgeted for this project, it was explained to the prospective quoters how the Contracting Officer would determine which units and acreage would be awarded. All responsive quotes would be evaluated in the same sequence (as set forth in paragraphs (c)(1)(i)(aa) through (c)(1)(i)(hh)of the Evaluation Factors for Award).

(10) Quoters are to submit their quotes via e-mail. DO NOT FAX or DO NOT UPLOAD quotes to

FedConnect.

2. Questions Posed by Interested Parties will be indicated with a "Q"

Government's Responses will be indicated with a "R"

Additional Information by the Government will be indicated with an "AI"

Q-1: Can the work required in the specifications be done with a Mastication Machine (Prentice, Barko, Gyro-Trac) where possible?

R-1: Because the areas are environmentally sensitive along with the steepness and terrain, mechanized machines may not be used in Units #1 and #2. However, it may be suitable to use mechanized machines in areas of the Fireline

Construction paralleling the Ozark Campground road shoulder.

Q-2: Clarification of tree sizes and species to be cut for Units #1 and #2.

R-2: All cedar trees in Units #1 and #2 are to be cut with the exception of those cedars that the Park will mark as leave trees. Marked leave cedar trees will typically be those with a dbh of

18"-20" or greater. Marked leave trees are to remain untouched and left in place. Hardwood trees in Units #1 and #2 with a dbh of 4" or less are to be cut. Hardwood trees with a dbh of greater than 4" are to remain unless marked by the Park for Contractor to cut.

AI-5: When emailing your quote, the Contracting

Officer will acknowledge receipt with a return e-mail. The acknowledgment e-mail will indicate the date and time your email populated the email inbox along with the number of attachments included in your email.
