Solicitation # 140P3021R0012 Solid Waste and Recycling Service at Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts

Q1:

Is this a follow-on requirement or will this be a new requirement?

A1:

This is a new requirement.

Q2:

Do you have scope of work that shows service hours and access procedures? Off-hours and security requirements?

A2:

In general, the Park is flexible, however prefers that all service be conducted in the early morning hours. The park does not want service in the evenings or during performances. Emptying the dumpster at the Filene Center Loading Dock would best be accomplished in the early morning hours before tour buses arrive.

Q3:

The price sheet is listed by unit. Is a “unit” everything included in the description, or does each lift (or pickup of each container) count separately for a unit price?

A3:

Each pick-up of each container is a separate “unit”.

Q4:

What is the “performance season” timeframe?

A4:

Performance season refers to the period of time where park visitors can experience performing arts at Wolf Trap Park. The performance season in 2021 will be June 18 – September 30, 2021. This is not a typical performance season for Wolf Trap. The typical performance season begins on May 1 – mid September.

Q5:

Is the recycling 20-cy covered or enclosed in any way, or just a regular 20yd open-top?

A5:

20 yd Open Top

Q6:

Is the 30-cy for construction waste always on-site or as-needed?

A6:

The Park would like to have the construction dumpster as-need or always on-site and pulled when needed, whichever costs is less.

Q7:

Front-load waste service required on all holidays included (Xmas, New Year, etc.)?

A7:

No holiday service is required on any dumpster. The Park anticipate that our schedule needs will be minimal during June and July, but we expect our schedule needs to adjust for the increase of visitors for the months of August and September. Beginning in October, we expect to revert to non-performance season and adjust schedule of pulls according to the decrease of visitors at the park.
