84 Mesa Mastication, 957 acres

Question 1: I see it says phase 2. I was wondering is the phase one project still going on? Or is it completed?

Answer 1: Phase I was completed in December 2021.

Question 2: I see it says start date 9/1/2022. If contractor is awarded is that the guarantee start date or as long as the project is done before the end date of the period of performance 3/14/2023?

Answer 2: The period of performance will be from the date of award to 11/30/22. We estimate the POP start date will be 9/1/22.

The alternative POP dates in the SOW would only have been used if the Palmer Drought Severity Index had been Severe, Extreme or Exceptional on July 1st but it was not.

The 11/30/22 POP end date ensures that we miss the harshest weather of the season by avoiding working in the December-March time frame and also helps us avoid wildlife timing limitations
