AMENDMENT 001 - QUESTIONS/ANSWERS (Q & A):
1. Q: What are the approved NPS topsoil sources?
1. A: NPS has purchased topsoil from Cascade Bark Landscape Supplies, 11 Washington Harbor Road, Sequim, WA 98382 (phone 360-582-9592), and purchased Cascade Bark's own mixture that contains Alder sawdust, red fine bark, aged cow manure, and dark fine bark.
2. Q: Can on-board electric scales on my truck be used when recycling materials rather than having to use stationary scales at a yard?
2. A: This should be acceptable. Calibration should be checked on the first load.
3. Q: Site 11 - do all of the rip rap rockery/terraces need to be removed?
3. A: The rip rap will remain in place.
4. Q: Do the well heads at some of the sites need to be capped or decommissioned?
4. A: There is a well at 8 Viewpoint Lane that has been decommissioned. NPS is not aware of any others.
5. Q: Bates House - the concrete bulkhead that spans from Thompson's to the Scott's, if removed from the Bates residence would leave a weak void to the other homeowners houses. Could it be left to avoid future problems?
5. A: The bulkhead is not part of the scope, nor is any aspect of the concrete work that would impact adjacent properties.

PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE.
(1)LAKE CRESENT. For the properties located at the Lake Crescent area (the base requirement), the government anticipates work to start as soon as possible after award, either late August or right after Labor Day 2018, and be completed by November 2018. All work of the base line items shall be completed within 90 days from the date of award of the base contract.
(2) QUINAULT. (a) The Quinault sites are optional line items. Upon award of an option, the period of performance will be 90 calendar days. The government anticipates that the contractor will be able to complete most of the work at these sites but possibly not all, due to weather, and that a Seasonal Break in Contract Performance may become necessary.

(b) SEASONAL BREAK IN CONTRACT PERFORMANCE: Although the government does not intend to suspend work during contract performance, seasonal weather conditions may restrict or prohibit normal contract activities. Contractor should take into account historic weather patterns when planning the work sequence. If the Contractor elects to temporarily stop work, they must inform the CO and COR at least one week prior to the stoppage and at least one week prior to the planned resumption of work. (c) Contractor should note that if a Seasonal Break in Contract Performance does go into effect, there is potential of not being able to resume work until after September 23, 2019 if it's not possible to resume in time to complete remaining tasks before April 1, 2019.
