REQUEST FOR INFORMATION The Government is seeking feedback and comments on the Draft PWS and the Annexes incorporated in the PWS. The Government would like specific feedback and comments in the following areas: 1. The structure of the PWS and Annexes 2. Suggested Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) structure 3. Recommendations for additional/alternate performance metrics 4. Additional industry information needed to obtain best pricing strategy 5. Industry best practices that would reduce unnecessary costs 6. Recommendations to reduce scope or change the requirement to obtain cost savings for Grounds Maintenance. The Government is considering rotating sections of the base by month. Would this approach result in cost savings or would trash accumulate and the required work would not change? Any other changes to reduce costs? 7. The Government is considering adding a CLIN for special projects to include unloading and packing, cleaning vacated facilities, cleaning after special events, moving furniture and appliances, filling sand bags, and other tasks as required, reference PWS para A.1.5.5. and CLIN 0004. Given badging constraints, what issues will the contractor face surging to accomplish these projects? Projects are estimated at $30K or below. 8.
