We are in receipt of the new amendment for this project; however, we have not been able to retrieve complete “Maps and Work Area Layouts” as indicated in Appendix 3.

Q.

Hello, I hope all is well. I know you stated no more questions, but there are 2 that were left unclear. The answer that was given for the " monthly price" question did not give the total contract price. So, where can we find the total contract price? Also, the Form 30 on Amendment 3 states due date of 12FEB13. Is this the correct due date?

Request price through FOIA. See Amendment # 5.
