SUMMARY OF CHANGES

AMENDMENT PARTICULARS

A. Due to USACE’s revising the Scope of Work and providing additional tree removal documentation, USACE is extending the due date to allow time for Contractor’s to review all documentation provided herein. Accordingly, this Amendment EXTENDS the due date for this Solicitation from 12 September 2014 to 17 September 2014; the time for submission of quotes remains 4:30 p.m. (CST); therefore all quotes must be furnished PRIOR to 4:30 p.m. (CST) on 17 September 2014 to be considered timely.

As a reminder and in accordance with Section M of this Solicitation, the Basis for Award is as follows:

The responsive, responsible contractor submitting the lowest priced, technically acceptable proposal. The Government reserves the right to reject any and all offers.

Offerors are reminded to include their best technical and price terms in their initial offer and not to automatically assume that they will have an opportunity to participate in discussions or be asked to submit a revised offer. The Government may make award of a conforming proposal without discussions, if deemed to be within the best interests of the Government.

The Government intends to award a contract without discussions based on initial proposals received; therefore, the proposals shall contain the Offeror’s best terms from a cost and technical standpoint.

A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award

B. AMENDED SCOPE OF WORK: The Scope of Work has been amended to incorporate the correct number of trees. The revised Scope of Work is attached hereto.

C. ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION: This Amendment is issued to add a Tree Removal List and an additional map of the project area to assist Contractor’s with identifying the trees requiring removal. Accordingly, the Tree Removal List and the additional map of the project area are hereby made a part of this Solicitation Package and are attached hereto.

D. SITE VISIT: Contractor’s are highly encouraged to conduct a site visit of the project area prior to submitting their proposal. To schedule a site visit, please contact Mr. Jeff MacDonald at (312) 813-2167.

E. POINT OF CONTACT: Greg M. Hermsen at (312) 846-5376 or gregory.m.hermsen@usace.army.mil.

Scope of Work for Tree Removal Along the Des Plaines River By-Pass Fence, Lemont, IL

1. SUMMARY

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Chicago District, requires the removal of 110 trees of various sizes along a section of the Des Plaines River By-Pass Fence located in Lemont, IL. The trees to be removed ranging in size from six (6) inches up to approximately five (5) feet in diameter and are of various heights.

2. TREE FELLING REQUIREMENTS

The Contractor is required to utilize proper equipment and tree felling techniques to ensure the safety of all on-site personnel, as well as to prevent damage to the Des Plaines River By-Pass Fence. The Contractor will be responsible for cutting all trees marked for removal six (6) to twelve (12) inches above ground level. All stumps shall remain in place to prevent erosion in the area. Since some of the trees to be removed are located on the opposite side of the Des Plaines River By-Pass Fence, the Contractor is required to utilize appropriate equipment to lift all fell trees over this four (4) to eight (8) foot fence. At no time shall the Contractor drag downed trees over the top of the fence as it will result in damage to the fence. Any damage that may occur to the Des Plaines River By-Pass Fence as a result of the felling or removal process shall be repaired with like materials by the Contractor, at the expense of the Contractor.

The trees to be removed are located along a gravel access road which is approximately 12 to 16 feet wide. The gravel access road also has a number of turn-around areas which the Contractor may utilize as staging and/or temporary storage areas.

The contractor shall supply all materials and equipment to complete the work.

3. TREE REMOVAL REQUIREMENTS

All fell trees shall be removed from the work area at the end of the project and be properly disposed of in accordance with all federal, state and local regulations. The Contractor has the option of chipping or logging the trees in preparation for removal from the site. The Contractor may store logged trees in eight (8) to twelve (12) foot sections in the various turn-arounds located throughout the work area; however, the Contractor shall at no time store chipped material on site for more than 24 hours.

4. SAFETY

All work specified shall be performed in accordance with US Army Corps of Engineers Safety and Health Requirements manual EM 385-1-1, Appendix A, Paragraph 11, where applicable for work done on Government property. The Contractor must have a site specific Safety Plan submitted and approved by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Chicago District, prior to commencement of work, including fall protection. Work within 10 feet of the water’s edge at the Des Plaines River shall only be performed by personnel using approved work vest type PFDs and a life ring shall be kept close on site when this work is performed.

5. SCHEDULE AND PAYMENT

All work shall be completed within 45 calendar days following Contractor’s acceptance of the Purchase Order. Pay requests shall be in ENG Form 93 and submitted to the Contracting Officer Representative (COR). Payment will be made within 30 days of end of the receipt of the contractor’s invoice.
