SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been modified:

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Question 1: Are there any pictures of the location?

Repsonse 1: There is a site map included with the solicitation. There are no aerial photos of the location to provide scope of the work. This is a forestry clearing requirement, therefore, interested vendors are encouraged to visit the site to understand the nature of the scope of work.

Question 2: Is there an approximate idea of how many trees there are at the location?

Response 2: The Government does not have an estimate of the number of trees. The requirement is for clearing of trees, shrubs, brush, etc. from the location with the perimeter marked on site. Interested vendors are encouraged to visit the site to understand the nature of the scope of work.

Question 3: Is tree grinding acceptable?

Response 3: Tree grinding, or any type of tree mulching is not acceptable as the requirement is for the removal of all wood, woody vegetation, and debris (chips) off site for dispoal.

Question 4: Is stump grinding acceptable? If you remove stumps it leaves a crater that would need to be filled in.

Can stumps be ground below surface level? Is the intent to bring fill material on-site to fill holes from stumps?

Response 4: Stump grinding is not acceptable. Requirement is for the stumps to be removed from the ground in their entirety. Stumps shall be disposed of off site and no material will be required to be brought on site to fill holes.

Question 5: Is it acceptable to leave wood chips on site?

Response 5: No, forestry mulching of trees and vegetation would not meet the requirement of the Performance Work Statement. Therefore, there should be no wood chips. All materials on site or generated on site shall be removed from Government property and disposed of in accordance with the requirements.
