Question 5. Will there be a minimum acres per work order and if so what would that minimum be?

Answer 5. If there is not a minimum acre call out in the contract, we will gladly work with the awardee and agree on an adequate minimum acre call out for both the USACE and awardee.

Question 6. What is the breakdown of the 2000 acres in 2017 by body of water and or county?

Answer 6. We cannot give an acre break out per body of water at this time. We will not know how many acres or exact locations until the plants start actively growing. We will issue task orders as needed for up to 2000 acres in 2017 and this could occur on multiple bodies of water along the Tennessee Tombigbee

Waterway, From Marengo County, Alabama up to Tishomingo County, Mississippi (approx.. 234 miles of river).
