Questions and Answers

Question #1 – In Section C Description/Specifications/Statement of Work, C.3 Minimum Equipment Requirements, subparagraph 18 indicates "The use of bladder bag is prohibited". Question:

SECTION C

DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK

13 Amendment 03

(b) Dispatch Procedures

(1) The Government has contracts with multiple vendors for Mobile Shower Facilities.

During periods of availability, the Government will utilize the Contractor whose DDP is the shortest route (mileage) to the incident as determined by using Google Maps® or Government determined mapping application when Google Maps® is inoperable, provided that the unit can meet the incident’s needs and required time frames.

(2) Contractor personnel and equipment are required to be physically located and available to perform services from each of their DDPs during the defined mandatory availability period (MAP). The DDP is the location where the unit must be physically located during the mandatory availability period, unless the Contractor has provided written notification to the CO and the NICC of its unavailability status. NICC is the only designated dispatch center authorized to place orders for all the National Mobile Shower Facility Units. NICC shall place orders against an overriding Delivery Order; issued by the CO at time of award.

(3) Outside the (MAP), priority consideration will be given to units physically located and available to perform services closest to the incident; provided that the unit can meet the incident’s needs and required time frames. The only two locations to be considered for dispatch outside of the availability dates are the DDP or the Company’s Headquarters.

Outside the availability dates, Contractors have the option of remaining at their DDP or returning to their Company’s Headquarters. Company’s Headquarters is defined as the company’s regular operating physical address (Block 15A on Standard Form 33).

Contractors are responsible for notifying the CO and the NICC, in writing, of availability status and locations outside of their mandatory availability period.

(4) The Government intends to dispatch resources in accordance with this procedure.

However, the number of fire orders in process and actual fire conditions at the time of dispatch may require a deviation from procedures stated in C.2 in order to respond effectively to such conditions. Any such deviation will be within the discretion of the Government, and will not be deemed a violation of any term or condition of this contract.

(5) When a Contractor agrees to a delivery schedule at the time the order is placed, the Contractor is required to perform in accordance with the agreed upon schedule documented on the Mobile Food and Shower Service Request Form. In addition, the Contractor is required to follow DOT regulations at all times.

(6) When a small capacity unit is ordered and there are no small units that can meet the incidents required time frames; NICC may use a large capacity unit to fill the order using the procedures in C.2, provided the large capacity unit can meet the incidents needs and required time frames.

(c) Release and/or Reassignment

(1) When the MSFU has been released from an incident, the unit may remain in the nearest town up to 24 hours in available status. After this time, it must return to the unit's DDP. Priority consideration for assignment will be given to the unit closest to the incident that is physically located at its DDP over other available units remaining in the nearest town or en-route; provided that the unit at its DDP can reasonably meet the date and time needed by the incident.
