(12) Tree Protection/Preservation Planning: providing guidance on protecting trees during construction. (13) Consultation and Advice: Offering expert advice on tree care.

Phase Based, [Unrestricted] Full and open competition, is when all responsible sources are permitted to compete in accordance with the DESIGNATED SOLICITATION PHASE. Phase 1 (small businesses) and Phase 2 (large business, unless otherwise dissolved by amendment).

If Phase 2 is removed (dissolved by amendment) the solicitation will be considered a TOTAL SMALL BUSINESS SET ASIDE and the following definition shall apply. As such, the solicitation will then be reserved exclusively for small business participation as defined by the NAICS 561730 and the size standard of $9.5M.

Number of awards and business size pools: As a result, the Government intends to award multiple Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract(s) in two pools (if supported). The potential pools are small businesses and large businesses. The number of awards anticipated to all business sizes is dependent on the outcome of Phase 1. Phase 1 is open and intended to select SMALL BUSINESSES only.

Phase 2 is reserved for the selection of LARGE BUSINESS(ES), if supported and needed to provide nationwide coverage.

The number of awards is based on best value and the goal to provide quality NATIONWIDE COVERAGE for all service types listed in the solicitation. In addition, the Contracting Officer in determining the number of awards will consider the mix of resources contractor(s) must have, the ability to maintain competition among awardees (i.e., nationwide, each region, every state, every territory, etc.), the expected duration and frequency of service types, and the scope and complexity of requirements. Based on this, a range of 7-25 awards are estimated. However, the government reserves the right to determine the proper number of awards based on the evaluation criteria, which may be more or less ID/IQs than the specified range of 7-25 awards.

Maximum Contract Value: $100,000,000.00. The Maximum Contract Value is not per contract. It is a maximum aggregate threshold for all awarded Base ID/IQs. It is a single threshold for all contract holders, including contract pools.

Contractor do not need to provide 100% of the services; however, the government requires 100% of the services and will base selection and the number of awards selections on best value to achieve the goal of Nationwide coverage. ****END OF DRAFT****
