The following are prospective offerors' questions and the Government's response to those questions:

Q1 - In regards to "Attachment 4 - Technical Proposal Questionnaire Form" is it suitable for solely the subcontractor's information to be inputted into the form?

A1 - You need to provide information on the firm that is submitting the proposal or quote in response to the solicitation.  If you intend to use subcontractors, then you can include the information about those subcontractors in your responses.

Q2 - What documents do we need to participate in the bid? 

A2 - You will need to be registered in SAM.gov in order to be considered for award.

Q3 - When filing the Technical Proposal Questionnaire, Would we be a Prime or Sub Contractor?  I have been a residential General contractor for 27 years but never been involved in a federal co.ntract. 

A3 - If you are submitting a quote or proposal in response to this solicitation, then you would be the Prime Contractor.

Q4 - How do we receive a UEI Number?

A4 - Go to SAM.gov and register your business and create a profile/account for your firm.

Q5 - Do I issue my standard itemized proposal or simply fill out the document called 1240LU24Q0030_15MAY2024.pdf.

A5 - Read what it says in Section L of the solicitation, and provide the information and documents that it states are required to be included in your quote or proposal.

Q6 - In the notes of Attachment 1 - Plan Set on page 5, it says, 'Cabin will be lifted approximately 36" above existing foundation by Forest Service personnel prior to project start.' Does this mean the cabin will also be moved out of the way?

A6 - The cabin will not be moved out of the way. See note 2 on S-4, where it states, "Foundation demo and new foundation construction will take place under stabilized structure." The same note is also on S-5.

Q7 - The solicitation states to address the offer to your email. The question I have is the technical proposal questionnaire states to submit to USDA in Ogden. I assume that I send everything to you, but I wanted to clarify the technical proposal questionnaire portion.

A7 - Yes, please email your quote/proposal to mary.harding@usda.gov. 

Q8 - Just confirming where the bids should be sent for this job.
