Depending on the availability of funds, all, some or none, of units 5 through 8 may be awarded. Units that are selected and funded will be awarded at the time of initial award. They will NOT be included as option years to be awarded next fiscal year. Contractor should consider the possibility of all areas being awarded and have adequate personnel/crews and equipment to complete the project before submitting a quote.



IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE:

All areas awarded must be completed no later than February 28, 2018 however due to timing restrictions for sensitive resources, treatments will not occur between November 1st and July 15th. BLM will request a waiver to allow work to continue beyond November 1st however the waiver is NOT guaranteed and contractors should assume the work will need to be completed by October 31, 2017 and take this into consideration when submitting a quote. It is expected that the selected contractor will be available immediately following award and can complete the project no later than October 31, in the event a waiver is not granted or weather becomes an issue.
