Amendment / Modification

This amendment revises the Statement of Work (SOW) and provides a Bid Schedule/Price List for snow removal services. The government will evaluate price using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) approach, applying vendor unit rates to notional quantities for a typical winter workload. The SOW details requirements for snow plowing, shoveling, relocation, and management of snow accumulation at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Office of Law Enforcement facility in Fairbanks, Alaska.

Key SOW details include:

• Snow Plowing: Triggered by 3+ inches of snowfall within 24 hours. Parking lot footprint is approximately 10,260 sq ft. Billed per event.

• Sidewalk/Ramp Shoveling: Triggered by ½ inch of snowfall within 48 hours for specific areas (rear entry steps, front ADA ramp). Billed per event.

• Snow Management: Contractor responsible for managing snow placement, relocation, and off-site hauling (late March) to prevent accumulation issues and flooding.

• Service Timing: Prompt response after qualifying events, ensuring safe access for the next business day. Weekend events are less urgent if safety is maintained.

• Period of Performance: October 1, 2026 – April 30, 2027 (for the BPA, with the BPA active for 5 years upon award).

• Place of Performance: 1412 Airport Way, Fairbanks, Alaska 99701.

• Bid Schedule/Price List (Revised)
