About this file
This document is a set of Additional Questions and Answers related to the Springer Spring Chipping federal contract opportunity. The key details are:
The project involves chipping trees that have been removed, with stumps that are still attached. The agency clarifies that stumps can be cut off and left onsite, as long as they are flush with the ground. Bidders should include the treatment of stumps in their proposals. Bids should be for the total project cost, including mobilization, rather than a per-mile rate. The agency does not provide an estimate of the volume of material to be chipped. It is the contractor's responsibility to familiarize themselves with the project site and specifications prior to submitting a bid. The project requires that equipment usage does not cause excessive ground disturbance.

Additional Questions for Springer Spring project 1/11/24 Based on the pictures and the description of how the trees to be chipped were removed it appears that the stumps are still attached. Since it is not possible for us to chip stumps, because they often exceed the 20 inch maximum capacity for our chipper and frequently contain rocks, can we cut the stumps off and leave them onsite? Are there any expectations for hauling, processing, or disposal of the stumps?
Stumps that have been torn out of the ground should be chipped and/or removed. Stumps in situ can be cut off and left on site as long as they are flush with ground level (up to 6” above ground level). Treatment of stumps should be built into the contractor’s proposal.
My understanding from reading the RFP is that the project consists of 3.7 linear miles and payment is by the mile. Should we provide a bid for total project cost or should we bid by the mile? If we bid by the mile can we provide a separate price for mobilization? If we have to include mobilization in the per mile price will the total miles be exactly 3.7?
Bid should be for total project cost including mobilization.
• Can a tractor trailer with a lowboy reach the project area and turn around or will equipment need to be unloaded on the highway and tracked to the project area?
It is the contractor’s responsibility to become familiar with the access to the job site, job site, and the specifications of the SOW prior to submitting a bid.
• Is there any volume estimate of the amount of material to be chipped?
No, a volume estimate of material to be chipped has not been made.
• Will an excavator with a grapple and a 30ft reach be able to get all of the trees from the jeep trail or will a winch or other means be required?
It is the contractor’s responsibility to become familiar with the access to the job site, job site and the specifications of the SOW prior to submitting a bid. Project implementation shall not create excessive ground disturbance. If an excavator is utilized, it must stay on jeep trail when reaching for downed trees and slash.
