Description
The purpose of this amendment is to answer all questions submitted prior to the closing date of this solicitation. 1.) I wanted to know if my firm would have a competitive opportunity to win this contract if we have not had previous experience with document destruction services specifically? If business entity establishment is less than two (2) years, provide related experience of key personnel. Past Performance shall be valued as acceptable, unacceptable, or neutral. 2.) May we use our past experience with much larger contracts that included recycling and document destruction services? Yes, if the experience is pertinent to this requirement. 3.) Do you have a sample of a past formatted quote on what the submitted quote should look like? If so, can you send a copy? There is no mandatory format for the RFQ. It should contain all information requested in the solicitation. 4.) Do we enter "New Business? for your question or areas to respond to past experience if we have no past experience? If no past performance information is available the company should indicate this in their offer. 5.) Should my company utilize a subcontractor does the prime contractor need a security clearance as well as the subcontractor? Yes, only if the prime contractor?s personnel intend to perform any services proposed under the contract.

We currently have security clearances for our employees through the IRS, but we do not know if that meets your requirement for proof of security clearances and we do not know if the forms we submitted to them were SSF 3237's. Do you have a copy of SSF 3237 that you could provide or instruct us as to where we can obtain this form? IRS security clearances do not meet the USSS security clearance requirements.

Each cart can hold approximately 25 burn bags (depending on how full the bags are). The vendor supplies the carts. When the vendor arrives they usually bring about 15 carts. We don't use a set amount at any location, because it changes each time. 8.) Do you have a copy of the Collective Bargaining Agreements referred to under SCA Minimum Wages and Fringe Benefits? No, The Service Contract wage rate and labor category will be available prior to contract award. It is the responsibility of the Contractor under the Collective Bargaining Agreement to provide wage rates. 9.)
