SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been modified:

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Question 1: Is a management plan needed for 560 acres total or for each area (Uxbridge, Northbridge, and Upton)?

Response 1: The management plan is for a total of 560 acres, which are located in Uxbridge, Northbridge, and Upton, MA.

Question 2: When is the work expected to be done before and is there a period of time assigned to this project (ex.

Number of weeks)?

Response 2: Work shall be completed within 180 days from the contract award.

Question 3: Do you have a survey plan for the land or the tax map references?

Response 3: The survey plan is included in the file “Attachments”, which will be posted to SAM.gov.

Question 4: Has the property been harvested recently?

Response 4: The last selective timber harvest at West Hill Dam was completed in 2015 on approximately 25 acres upstream of the dam and southwest of the wildlife management grassland area. There was also a small 3.5-acre harvest conducted on the downstream side of the dam the same year.

Question 5: Is there a survey of the property?

Response 5: No, there has never been a full forest survey conducted.

Question 6: Is there a documentation of the land being 560 acres?

Response 6: Maps are included in the file “Attachments”, which will be posted to SAM.gov.

Question 7: Will USACE provide geo-rectified aerial imagery for use by the contractor, or must the contractor procure independently?

Response 7: The Government will not provide geo-rectified aerial imagery. The Contractor will be required to supply/procure any required aerial imagery.

Question 8: The scope requires a Massachusetts registered consulting forester. Can that requirement be waived?

[Contractor] can obtain that service, but would need to include in a proposal. Note that Massachusetts requires that certification for forest harvest, but not for forest inventory; and that federal sovereign immunity does not require such, but I realize that DoD may follow State regulations more as a courtesy than as a requirement.

Response 8: Per the Performance Work Statement, the contractor shall be a Massachusetts Licensed Consulting Forester. Licensed Consulting Forester from any state within the confines of the United States.

Question 9: Is the training mentioned on pages 3 and 4 of the solicitation required for personnel not present on site?

Who is the applicable contract personnel?

Response 9: Per the solicitation, Security Requirements, General Security Requirements and Guidance: the security requirements (to include training) apply to all contract personnel supporting the performance requirements of the contract. That includes personnel on site, and any contractor personnel supporting any aspect of the contract, to include submittals, invoicing, and oversight for example.

Question 10: Is the DoD and Army security training (page 3) different than the Suspicious Activity Reporting training (on page 4)?

Response 10: The requirements can be met by completing the iWatch training attached to this amendment.

Question 11: Are there any training fees or is it free?

Response 11: There are no fees for completing the iWatch training.

Question 12: Where and who gives the training?

Response 12: The Technical Point of Contact can provide training to the awarded contractor to complete.
