A1. In accordance with 52.212-1 (e) Multiple offers.

· 20-yard compactor = once per week + additional pick-ups as required throughout the year.

· 30-yard compactor = once per week.

· 34-yard compactor = twice per week.

Q22. Will the source selection be priced based?

A22. The government will conduct a comparative evaluation of the quotes to determine the best benefit to the government at a price that can be determined reasonable. Please refer to Section E.2 GENERAL INSTRUCTION TO OFFERORS on pages 38-40 for more details.

Q23. Can we pick up outside of times on solicitation?

A23. The Government will revise the allowable times the Contractor may provide services. However, if services (e.g. pick-ups) interfere with patient care or the day-to-day operations of the Orlando VAMC, the Contractor shall provide services at times conducive to the Orlando VAMC. The Government shall be to sole authority in determining allowable service times. Our primary concern is the health, welfare, and recovery of our veteran beneficiaries.
