Solicitation # 36C24224Q0311, Attachment A, Amendment A0001

This amendment is to provide answers to the questions that were asked.

Q1: Is this a new requirement?

A1: No, this is not a new requirement.

Q.2 Is there an electrical hook up in place?

A.2 Yes , please refer to the pictures attached.

Q.3 Is this a three-year or a five-year bid?

A.3 This request is for a base plus 4-year bid which would be a total of 5 years.

Q.4 Is there a way we can go to the site and see how the compactor is hooked up?

A.4 Please refer to the attached pictures.

Q.5 Under “Landfill/Dumpsite Fees” on page 2 it reads, “The Contractor shall be responsible for all fees and costs associated with the disposal of these materials.” However, there is a line on the pricing sheet to provide a per ton disposal rate. Just confirming that we will be charging per ton for disposal.

A.5 Yes that is correct , a per ton fee for disposal.

Q.6 What documents are required for submission?

A.6 In order to be considered responsive the RFQ must have the following completed:

1. Page 1 boxes 30a and 30b signed by the offeror and title

2. Page 3 section a Contractor information needs to be filled out

3. Page 8 and 9 must be filled out

4. Page 38, Section E.6 needs to be reviewed and the vendor needs to demonstrate that they are technically capable of providing these services outlined in the statement of work. This can be demonstrated by providing documentation of providing similar services and this can include referencing past or present government contract numbers.

Q.6 The Scope of Work lists a 30yd self-contained compactor, but what’s described below is more consistent with a stationary compactor and receiver box. Is style acceptable?

A.6 The Compactor/Receiver is a one-piece roll-off unit that is powered by a fixed hydraulic pump skid and control panel that the current contractor installed in/on our building.

The room to navigate is very tight back there. It is probably not possible to install any other type of compactor/receiver because of how little room there is to navigate the trucks back there. If the new compactor and receiver are two separate units, it may be too long and interfere with loading dock operations.

The potential vendor will also need to install a similar pump and controls as to what we have now and in the same location.

(Please refer to the attached pictures which include the current control panel, hydraulic pump, and compactor/receiver. The tan tipper in the picture is VA owned equipment so whatever piece of equipment the contractor brings must align with our tipper otherwise the operation will not work.)
