Since the second round of questions and answers, the Government has received the following questions about RFP solicitation W9127N-17-R-0023. As of 10 August 2017, the Government has provided the following answers.

Question 14: We are the prime submitter but have also included another firm on our team. Do all 5 projects have to be our experience or can we submit 3-4 projects and have 1-2 projects from our subconsultant for a total of 5?

Answer 14: The projects submitted must be the prime contractor’s experience, and not a subcontractor’s experience.

Question & Answer 15:

Section 2 of Attachment C (Task Order) indicates that the government will provide a habitat assessment for the Elk Creek Management Area; a Level 1 Natural Resource Inventory for Bonneville Dam; rough natural resource data for the Dalles; and Level 2 NRIs for John Day and Willow Creek Dam. 5.4, Task 4, of the Basic List of Services, requests Level 1 and Level 2 NRIs, (This reference is from the overall “Statement of Work” for the IDIQ MATOC) but does not specify the facilities for which these would be prepared.

For the specific Task Order- Attachment C there is no requirement for the contractor to do a Level 2 Natural Resource Inventory (NRI). Future task orders may require the contractor to do a Level 2 NRI and the specifics will be addressed under that separate task order at that time.

Can we proceed with our cost estimate under the following assumptions: (no, please see clarifications in Red):

Master Plans require a Level 1 NRI, level 2’s are not required.

a. It appears that there are no NRIs for the Dalles, Lost Creek and Applegate, so KTR will prepare Level 2 NRIs for those facilities. Clarification: no Level 2 NRI’s are required under this Attachment C task order.

Reference Attachment C, Section 2 the Contractor will do the following:

(b) Level 1 Natural Resource Inventory – Bonneville Dam Project Area – Hard copy 1997 (CENWP Furnished) updating required by KTR as described in Paragraph 3.4 (correction from 5.4) of this PWS.

(c) The Dalles – rough natural resource data (will be supplied by CENWP) – KTR required to consolidate and update data into a Level 1 Natural Resource Inventory document as described in paragraph 3.4 (correction from 5.4) of this

PWS.

Lost Creek and Applegate: The KTR is required to produce a Level 1 Natural Resource Inventory as stated in 3.4.1 Table 2.

Correction under Attachment C Task Order 3.4.1, Table 2, remove reference to Optional Task 7 and 8

b. The Level 1 NRI for Bonneville Dam may serve as the basis for the Level 2 NRI for that facility. As stated the 1997 level 1 NRI requires KTR to update, but no level 2 NRI is required under this task order.

c. The referenced Habitat Assessment for Elk Creek can serve as a Level 2 NRI for that facility. Clarification:

Elk Creek Habitat assessment and documents will be supplied to the KTR as a reference due to its proximity to Lost Creek and information may be similar and useful. The KTR will include the 2012 Elk Creek master plan information into the regional Rogue River Basin watershed master plan but will not be providing any products for the elk creek project.

Question 16: Without knowing the geographic extent of the planning area covered by the requested MP updates, it is difficult to determine the level of effort that will be needed to complete the Level 1 and Level 2 (no level 2 NRI’s required under this task order) NRIs, and to gage the extent of HTRWM data that will be needed. Can the Corps provide maps displaying the planning area that will be covered by each of the two master plans?

Answer 16: There are no level 2 NRI’s required under the task order. Various maps will be attached into FBO.gov to show the planning area.
