The USDA Forest Service's Experience Questionnaire (FS-6300-27) is a mandatory form for contractors bidding on projects like the Outer Vest Procurement. This document assesses a contractor's suitability by requiring detailed information on their business type, years of experience as a prime or sub-contractor, and a list of projects completed within the last three years. It also asks about concurrent contractual commitments, any past failures to complete work, and whether the project site was inspected. Furthermore, the questionnaire delves into the organization's available resources, including minimum and maximum employees, equipment, and estimated progress rates. It requests the experience of principal individuals, a detailed list of owned or rented equipment with maintenance plans, and a description of contractor self-inspection procedures for quality assurance. The form concludes with a certification section, emphasizing the accuracy of the provided information and authorizing the Forest Service to verify capabilities. This comprehensive questionnaire ensures that only qualified and experienced contractors are considered for government contracts.
