    The document serves as an amendment to solicitation 140L3725Q0046 regarding the bidding parameters for a government project. It addresses a clarification concerning the acreage involved in the project. The inquiry points out an inconsistency where the location specifies a need for 125 acres, while the chemical treatment section mentions 644 acres. The response confirms that the project award will indeed be for 125 acres, with the total project area encompassing 644 acres. This distinction is vital for potential bidders as it defines the scope and scale of work involved, ultimately guiding their proposals in alignment with the specifications set forth by the government.
