Zero Waste Solution: as referred on page 2 and elaborated in 1. Service Requirements. We assume this refers to there being zero waste left to the government for disposal. We assume that if the successful bidder removes all waste at zero cost to the government, that is a 'Zero Waste Solution'?

Also refer them to my answer to question 1 addressing the Zero Waste issue. If they meet this requirement there will be no waste filters to dispose of by an authorized, licensed waste hauler. Additionally Section 1, paragraph (d) requires 100% of the used solvent, sludge and other byproducts resulting from these services shall be managed as a material and be reclaimed, recycled or reused by the contractor at no additional cost to the government. 3.
