The USDA Forest Service's Experience Questionnaire is a comprehensive document designed to gather essential information from contractors bidding on federal solicitations. It requires details such as the contractor's business type, years of experience as a prime or subcontractor, and a list of projects completed within the last three years, including contract amounts and client references. The questionnaire also asks about concurrent contractual commitments, any past failures to complete work, and whether the project site has been inspected. Additionally, it requests information on available employees (minimum and maximum numbers, and if they are regularly on payroll), specific equipment for the contract, and the experience of key individuals involved. The document emphasizes providing additional information to aid evaluation and includes a certification section for official verification. This questionnaire ensures the Forest Service can assess a contractor's capability and reliability for government projects.
