Questions for solicitation 1282B125R0007 R1 Road Maintenance and other Forest Maintenance/ Support Services

1. If the pricing is bid at $X for the base PoP, is that price utilized just for bid determination on all the work in this order for that task and would that then be the set price per mile on future work orders? Or are future work orders specifically priced per mile depending on the work that is required for that work order? The concern is setting the base PoP for surface maintenance per mile yet there are different factors such as more or less brush to clear or more or less ditches to clean in different areas. Concern is that the work will vary and want to be sure price reflects that.

So if a specific $ per mile has to be listed as the base PoP, should that be considered the highest possible cost per mile? Further clarification on the pricing aspect would be helpful.

A: The purpose of the pricing at the IDIQ level is to ensure contractors are capable of effectively formulating fair and reasonable prices, however, the pricing received for this contract will not be established as the Not-To-Exceed Price, rather the contractors will be encouraged to establish pricing at the task order that is fair and reasonable and competitive upon submission for task order work. The Government will anticipate that upon receipt of specific project information at the task order level contractors will formulate pricing that is fair and reasonable.

Contractors are welcome to make assumptions and list their assumptions on their proposals.

Additionally, the contractor must price the base and subsequent options. The period of performance is clarified below.

2. Additionally, for the past performance evaluations, is it acceptable to request evaluations from CO's for work done on other solicitations and IDIQ contracts that same/similar work is being delivered? Meaning evaluations of performance by the officials on other similar government contracts?

A: Yes

3. DO we need the workforce certificate if we are not using any h2b workers or mspa workers?

A: NO

4. Do we need to provide pricing for every region or just the one we are interested in?

A: Just the Zone you are interested in doing work in.

5. Is this project tax exempt?

A: Standard federal tax exemption applies to this procurement.

6. Is pricing required on page 2 of the SF 1149?Or is pricing ONLY required on ‘attachment 2 R1RM_SOI_MATOC_PROPOSAL_2025?

A: Please list pricing on Attachment two.

7. Confirm that contractors don’t have to provide pricing for all three ‘regions? (Idaho Zone West Zone, and East Zone) A: Provide pricing for the zones you would like to work in. Mark on attachment 4 what Zones you would like to work in.

8. In an effort for each contractor to have comparable pricing would it be possible to get a little more information on the line items that we would be submitting prices for on this proposal?

A: Please see question Number 1 and answer.

9. Surface Maintenance:

What is the traffic volume?
