6 Better idea of how often round trips will be required? N/A

The frequency of trips varies; however historically we've had an average number of 2 trips per month for waste transportation. All other trips are dependent upon variable requirements, which is why the Government will use service calls IAW Attachment 1, SOW Rev 1, Section 5.0. Historically service trips occur more frequently in the warmer months of the year when more visitors are accesing the Park and construction and facility repairs and modifications are able to be completed.

10 What location are picking up at the Statue? SOW, Section 3.0.

Locations are listed in Attachment 1, Statement of Work Rev. 1, Section 8.0. In addition, we've included Attachment 3, Beach Landing and Dock Location to better identify the locations. 3/22/2024

We can start to look at other locations to off-load however we will need a few more days to put bid together

SOW, Sections 2 and 3, and SF 18, page 4

Attachment 1, Statement of Work Rev. 1, paragraph 2.3 was revised to require the location of the mainland boat ramp be provided after contract award. Solicitation page 4, Technical Approach has also been revised as follows to remove the requirement to provide the boat ramp location and instead requires Contracrors to provide evidence they will be able to provide access to a mainland boat ramp. Additionally, FAR Provision 52.212-2, has been revised to state technical acceptability for the boat ramp location will be based on the Contractor submitting evidence they will provide a mainland boat ramp, rather than already having access to one.

12 Is it a total of 42 trips on a set schedule?

SOW, paragraph 2.2, and SF 18 Block 11, Schedule and page 4.

The number of trips varies depending on work projects, such as construction requiring transport of equipment, etc., being done at the Park locations. Our estimated number of roundtrips to transport waste material averages to approximately 2 per month for a total of 24 per year. For the other 21 estimated roundtrips, those we are uncertain whether we will need them or not. Due to this we have revised the CLIN structure to have two CLINs, one for the 24 trips we are pretty certain of, and one set up as an IDIQ for the other CLIN with an NTE of 21 roundtrips. See Attachment 1, Statement of Work Rev. 1, paragraphs 2.2, 3.1.1 and 3.1.2.
