About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document from a federal contracting solicitation for waste disposal services at Hanscom Air Force Base. The document addresses inquiries from prospective contractors regarding service requirements, container specifications, pickup schedules, reporting procedures, and submission instructions.
The solicitation requires fifteen 64-gallon lockable toters for food waste collection, and the government confirmed that 48-gallon containers are not acceptable as a substitute. Pickups must occur two times per week on any days Monday through Friday at three locations. Weight documentation must be reported per location at Hanscom only, not per individual tote or by disposal facility tip, and multiple stops from daily routes cannot be combined on a single weight slip. The August 11 site visit is not mandatory for eligibility. An incumbent contractor exists, though the contract number is listed as N/A. There are no proceeds from food waste sales; disposal costs money. Prices must be submitted on the Bid Schedule in Excel format, not on the Supplies or Services & Prices or Costs chart in the solicitation document. The government will follow the current official instructions for offer deadlines and time zone specifications.

Answer I see that the request specifies fifteen 64-gallon lockable toters.
My question is: would 48 gallon containers work or is that a dealbreaker? We could drop off twenty 48-gallon totes instead which would make up the difference in volume. We want 64 Gallon totes they work the best here Please confirm the controlling offer deadline, time zone, and whether the August 11 site visit is mandatory for eligibility. We will follow the current official instruction once confirmed. The site visit is not mandatory for eligibility.
Is it a problem if we are not going directly to the dump after servicing the totes? No as long as we get the weights from the totes here Is it a problem if the weight slip will also contain other stops from the daily route. We need the weights from the Hanscom only
Is it ok if we list the weight per stop based on the weight of the individual totes. Yes, per location is ok not by each tote Just so you know there are no proceeds from us selling the food waste, it costs us to dump it. Ok Who is the incumbent contractor?
• What is the incumbent contract number? N/A Are pickups at the three locations allowed on Mondays and Thursdays or Tuesdays and Fridays? Pick up 2 times per week any days Monday thru Friday
Under Sec. 1.1.10, is it acceptable to report the weight per tip, rather than provide a slip from the disposal facility, because multiple accounts are accumulated in the truck before dumping at the disposal facility.
Weights per location on Hanscom
Are prices to be submitted on the Bid Schedule (Excel) or on the “Supplies or Services & Prices or Costs” chart in the Solicitation (p. 3-4)?
On bid schedule
