Questions and Answers

Clause 220 – General The refrigerated van is parked on the grounds at the nursery and will need to be moved from its storage location to the loading dock several times during the course of this contract.

1. Will it be necessary to move the van each time tree seedlings are scheduled for loading? OR; No only when we need it to be moved from the dock. Usually only 2-3 times in the season.

2.Will only be be necessary to move the van several times during the February through September 2021 time frame? Yes as stated above. 1st time will be in February when it needs to be moved to the dock.

Depending on the workload of the nursery and other activities at the loading dock and packing shed, it may not always be possible to move the trailer on the scheduled departure day. The contractor will be given a five (5) day notice when the trailer needs to be moved.

3. Will the contractor be detained on site if nursery and other activities at the loading dock and packing shed delay moving and loading?, AND, No the truck will be loaded and ready to go. There is a possibility that the load would be delayed during inclement weather

4. Will contractor be allowed to claim for DETENTION TIME?

No the contractor will not be allowed to claim detention time

5: Reference: SOW 220 states “Payment for this contract will be determined by the “running miles”.” Please confirm that the running miles includes full roundtrip to where the trailer will be stored. Yes that is correct, no back halls are allowed.

6: Who is the current incumbent contractor? Dan Naber

7: Will the Government be willing to provide historical data on volumes (trips) and current contract total contract value? There isn’t a current contract value to disclose on this solicitation.

8: Will the Government please provide the average weight of each load.

The weight will range from 10,000 pounds (200 boxes) to 30,000 pounds (600 boxes)

9: Reference: 120 – Government Furnished Property. Will the Government please provide description or pictures of the trailer van hook ups (connection points for power, lights etc.). This data will allow bidders to ensure appropriate proper connection on trucks is provided.

Please see attachments for pictures

10: So as not to restrict competition, under 452.237-74 Key Personnel (FEB 1988) clause, it is recommended that the Government changes the Key Personnel from “Truck Driver” to “Project Manager”. Due to the nature of the trucking industry and depending on scheduled trips for drivers, it may be beneficial for the contractor to cover the trips with multiple back-up drivers with the required qualifications rather than one dedicated truck driver as key personnel.

Please see attached SF-30 for changes to the clause changing key personnel from Truck Driver to Project Manager.

11. Will a Bill of Lading (BOL) be provided when the five (5) day notice is given that the trailer needs to be moved?

Delivery information will be provided ahead of time however box count may change depending on orders coming in the day of loading the trailer.

12. Could you provide a sample of the BOL form that will be used throughout the contract period?

Yes after bids are received and review.
