Amendment 1: Questions and Answers 0001

Questions and Answers – Amendment 1
Q1. Past Performance – Prime vs. Subcontractor: The combined synopsis/solicitation requests "2 projects ongoing or completed by the prime in the past 5 years," while the 52.212-2 evaluation addendum allows jobs in which the offeror "acted as a Prime Contractor or Sub-Contractor." Will the Government accept the past performance/relevant experience of the offeror's proposed subcontractor that will perform the work to satisfy this factor? A: The government will only accept the past performance of the prime contractor while performing as either prime or subcontractor. The experiences of a proposed subcontractor will not be considered.
2. Past Performance – Lookback Period: The synopsis and 52.212-2 reference projects within the past five (5) years, while SOW Section 5.1 states references shall be for projects completed in the last three (3) years. Which lookback period governs? A: Projects within the past 5 years will be considered. 3. Vegetation Type: The combined synopsis/solicitation describes the work as cut and pile of pinyon and juniper trees, while SOW Section 4.3 describes mixed conifer and aspen vegetation, with retention preference for ponderosa pine, Douglas-fir, lodgepole pine, spruce and subalpine fir. Please confirm the predominant vegetation type within the Unit 7 treatment area. A: Amendment 1 removes erroneous reference to pinyon and juniper.
