The following information is provided for prospective offerors to attend site visits and/or view the seed project locations prior to the onset of winter weather conditions. The seed project plans and specifications will be posted with the solicitation later this fall. Prospective offerors are highly encouraged to attend the site visits as scheduled and/or take the time to visit the sites. Offerors will be required to submit an offer on a minimum of one of the seed projects to be considered for the MATOC. FAR Clause 52.236-3- Site Investigation and Conditions Affecting the Work will be included in the solicitation and can be found at www.aquisition.gov.

This is an opportunity for fall viewing of the project sites prior to issuance of the solicitation. This is not a request for proposal/quote or bid.

Interested vendors are encouraged to visit the sites and, if desired, take photos or videos of the project locations.
