Added: <input type="hidden" name="dnf_class_values[procurement_notice][description][5][added_on]" value="2017-04-11 21:27:06">Apr 11, 2017 9:27 pm Modified: <input type="hidden" name="dnf_class_values[procurement_notice][description][5][modified_on]" value="2017-04-22 21:37:43">Apr 22, 2017 9:37 pm Track Changes Due to FBO technical difficulties, JBER was not able to upload the Q&A's document. Therefore, below are those questions and answers for the subject solicitation package. Can you identify what type/size/special requirements are needed for the new containers that will replace the Government Owned Containers the contractor is to provide in the option years identified in the PWS? - This is addressed in Appendix F, para F.1. There is also a chart of current inventory in para 3.2.5 that provides more information in regards to what the government owns according to type/size/special requirements as well as quantities. Can Can you identify the transfer station the incumbent is currently using? - The Anchorage Regional Landfill is the primary transfer site for JBER. The “Midtown” transfer station is being utilized under the current contract but is not permitted for use under the this contract except with written permission from the COR/CO. 3. Can the government clarify the breakdown of the new containers? (There are different quantities provided in the RFP and SOW.) - PWS para 3.2.5. There are currently 667 dumpsters, including roll offs, on the installation. There are approximately 475 dumpsters placed and currently being used at this time. 4. For the Past Performance response (3. Part III), does the 5 page limitation apply to section c only or do we have to address a, b, d, e and f within the 5 page limitation? - 5 page limitation applies to one particular past performance effort. So, in total past performance volume shall not exceed 25 pages. Please see solicitation clause FAR 52.212-1 Table 1 (Page 41 of the RFP) 5. ‘Appendix A – Estimated Workload Data’ shows an estimated quantity of 23 special event container placements. In ‘Appendix D – Special Events’ the frequency of events does not equal 23 as shown in ‘Appendix A’ unless there is only one pick-up for each event and 16 pick-ups for military exercises (in other words, the number of days shown does not equate to the number of pick-ups). Is there a direct correlation between the frequency of events listed in Appendix – D and the estimated quantity of special events in Appendix AIf so, should the estimated quantity in Appendix A be revised? App A and D correlate as intended. - There are 23 event placements, 16 exercises plus the other events listed, adds up to 23 in total. The confusion seems to be stemming from the information that indicates the duration of the event versus how many times a year it takes place. The 23 is the total of times that special events occur. 6. Can the government clarify the quantity and size of the Roll Off containers? - We currently have 7 - 20 cubic yard and 42 - 36 cubic yard roll off containers. Please see table 3.2.5 of the PWS. 7. The PWS referenced in CLIN 001 (PWS 1.1.1.1) indicates that the contractor shall empty refuse containers at least weekly. Further in the section it indicates that Historical frequency tables are located in Appendix B. Appendix B states "JBER Inventory and Schedule Frequencies (TE-1 – see attached)" Is this referring to Attachment 2 Tech Exhibit? If so, is the contractor to price the frequencies listed in Attachment 2 Tech Exhibit? - Yes, this is referring to Attachment 2, Technical Exhibit. It is the Government’s intent that Offerors include the picks-up detailed in the Technical Exhibit as pricing under CLIN X001. However, pricing development is the prerogative of the contractor and can be developed and priced in any way, so long as it is IAW the Schedule / Pricing Worksheet. 8. RFP states: The following services shall be priced separately in accordance with the cost contained in blocks 19 through 24 on the SF 1449. Is this referring to the CLIN breakdown or items described in Section 1.1.3.1 thru 1.1.3.7? - This is referring to the CLIN breakdown—see attachment 4, pricing worksheet. The second pages of the RFP form (Page 2) are the blocks 19 - 24. 9. The pricing template and the PWS references do not capture all of the labor/material required to perform on this contract. Where do we price all of the requirements outside of the referenced PWS sections? Vehicles/equipment, 1.1.8 Cleaning of containers, 1.1.9 Spills, 1.1.10 Weighing, 1.3.1 Landfill permits, 2, 2.1, 2.2 Quality control plan, 2.4 meetings, 3.2.6 Equipment Inventory, 3.2.7 Government equipment phase in (appendix F?), 4.6 Contract Personnel, 4.7 Manpower reporting, 4.8.3.2 Security training, 4.19 Insurance, 4.20 Phase out - Unless it is expressly broken out as a separate line item, the Government’s intent is that all other associated costs be proposed under CLIN X001 of each year. However as explained above, pricing development is the prerogative of the contractor and can be developed and priced in any way, as long as it is IAW the Schedule / Pricing Worksheet. 10. This item references PWS section 1.1.3.1 and within that section it references Appendix A for workload data. Should this include Appendix D too? - No, Appendix A CLIN X001 captures all tonnages of refuse services completed on the installation during a given year. 11. For pricing of CLIN 0008, what size container or what tonnage are we using as the basis? - Reference Appendix D for container size. All tonnage is a direct cost passed back to the Government via CLIN X018. 12. For pricing of CLIN 0013, what size container or what tonnage are we using as the basis? - See the Technical Exhibit for the sizes of containers we have on the installation. Additional pickups were based upon the container already in place. All tonnage is a direct cost passed back to the Government via CLIN X018. 13. Is recycling pick-up part of the requirements of this contract? - No, it is not. It is under the current contract but has/will become an internal Government program. 14. The PWS indicates that the Contractor shall perform all cleaning, painting, repair and other maintenance tasks off-base, which is a change from current procedures. As this is currently performed in Government furnished facilities on base, moving this offsite introduces a substantial increase in labor and other costs to facilitate this. Is this the intent of the government? - The government is working an answer to this question. It will be posted ASAP.
