    The document provides responses to queries regarding Solicitation No. 140L3725Q0087 related to data collection and survey protocol for PIJA (an unspecified species). It confirms that shapefiles for survey areas will be accessible prior to proposal submission. Data collection will utilize digital tools, specifically Survey123 and FieldMaps, rather than paper datasheets. In terms of survey protocols, once PIJA breeding behavior or nests are identified, further visits to those survey plots are unnecessary, as subsequent surveys are not mandated once the wildlife biologist is informed. This amendment is critical for prospective contractors to understand the requirements and use of technology in the data collection process while adhering to wildlife monitoring standards.
