Government Response: The correct hours of operation for janitorial services is between 7:00

AM and 5:00 PM (Central Time) during the Monday -

Friday work week. Please disregard the erroneous information on pages 6 and 12 of the RFQ regarding incorrect hours of operation for performing janitorial services.

Question 2: Supplies to be provided. There seems to be a contradiction between providing supplies.

In the form it states both the supplying of Green chemicals as well as, The Government will provide the necessary cleaning supplies to be used under this contract, which includes equipment as well.

Please clarify what supplies and equipment we are to provide?

Government Response: The USGS will provide all equipment and supplies. This should allow vendors to remove that pricing from their bids to keep costs down.

Question 3: Is there a more detailed "task schedule" the incumbent is following?

Government Response: No

Question 4: What type of background check is required of our staff?

Government Response: See page 8 of RFQ under

Contracting Personnel for specific Homeland

Security Presidential Directive ¿ 12 (HSPD-12) and Personal Identity Verification (PIV) background credentialing and screening requirements.

Question 5: Are there any current issues we should know about with the current contractor?

Government Response: No
