Byron Brown Contracting Officer

1. Container Requirement Listing (Page 8): There's inconsistency with the pickup frequency for Building 1(23) (EMS Loading Dock). The solicitation states that pickup is Monday through Friday including legal holidays, then it states 7 days a week.

Answer: These are the smaller containers used daily by Food and Nutrition and EMS, (not the BIG open top at the dock) these are two different types and sizes.

2. CALL BACKS (Page 7): In the event of an emergency call back, the solicitation states that the Contractor shall within 4 hours after receipt of notification by the Contracting Officer or his/her designee, respond to a call back for repair or replacement of any container.
