About this file
This is Amendment 0002 to Solicitation W912WJ26QA134, issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) New England District on July 22, 2026. The amendment provides responses to three industry questions regarding a large-scale tree removal contract involving approximately 403 trees near power lines and gaging stations.
The amendment clarifies three critical requirements: (1) Past performance in landscaping services, window cleaning, and septic pumping will not be considered relevant to the tree removal work; relevant experience must demonstrate similar scope, complexity, technical difficulty, and dollar value. (2) Subcontractor past performance can satisfy technical similarity and complexity requirements if the vendor provides a formal teaming arrangement as outlined in the solicitation survey, with the Government retaining the right to review and verify such arrangements. (3) On-site burning of debris is not permitted; all debris including cut logs, slash, and vegetative matter must be removed from the site and disposed of in accordance with state and local laws, regardless of size or local burn limits. The proposal deadline remains July 30, 2026 at 2:00 PM Eastern, with all other terms and conditions remaining unchanged. Offerors must acknowledge receipt of this amendment prior to the deadline through one of three methods: completing and returning the amendment, acknowledging receipt on each copy of the offer, or submitting a separate letter or electronic communication referencing the solicitation and amendment numbers.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES
Solicitation/Contract Form Continuation
The following changes have been made:
Miscellaneous text in this section has been modified to:
REQUEST FOR INFORMATION:
Question 1: The solicitation requires experience that is "similar in nature, size, and complexity" to the scope of felling approximately 403 trees near power lines and gaging stations. Will prime past performance that includes landscaping services, window cleaning, and septic pumping, performed for the federal government, be considered relevant past performance?
Response 1: No, past performance of landscape services, window cleaning, and septic pumping would not be considered relevant as these services are unrelated to the requirements for large scale, potentially hazardous tree removal. As included in the question, relevant past performance is work that of a similar scope, complexity, technical difficulty, and dollar value.
Question 2: If a vendor provides a formal teaming arrangement with a subcontractor who possesses specific large-scale tree removal experience, will that subcontractor's past performance be considered to satisfy the technical "similarity and complexity" requirements as outlined in Evaluation Step 4 (iii)?
Response 2: If a vendor provides a sufficient teaming arrangement as indicated in the solicitation and solicitation survey, past performance of a subcontractor can be considered. The solicitation survey affords vendors the ability to indicate if the past performance included is their own, or that of a subcontractor. The Government reserves the right to review and verify teaming arrangements and past performance references.
Question 3: Can the debris that is no larger than the local acceptable burn limit be burned on site if all local and state regulations are followed and the Contractor maintains responsibility for this and obtains all pertinent permits?
Response 3: Burning on site is not permitted. Any debris such as cut logs, slash, or any other vegetative debris the Contractor is unable to, or prefers not to chip shall be removed from the site and disposed of in accordance with State and local laws.
