About this file

This document is an Amendment (0001) to a solicitation for Milwaukee Snow Removal services issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs' Great Lakes Acquisition Center. The amendment provides answers to seven vendor questions, including clarifications about snow removal procedures, emergency conditions, and contract specifications. Key details include: the VA will not consider tiered pricing for snowfall, temporary snow piling is allowed for snow over 5 inches within 24 hours (a rare event historically occurring once every 3-5 years), and Defensive Driving Certificates can be submitted upon award. Vendors are directed to review the previous contract (36C25222P0005) on FPDS.gov for incumbent and period of performance information. The solicitation due date remains unchanged, and contractors must acknowledge this amendment when submitting their quote.

Vendor Questions & Answers

Milwaukee Snow Removal

Q1) Is this a brand-new contract OR if there is (was) an incumbent performing these services? What is the current Contracts period of performance?

Answer: View contract 36C25222P0005 information via FPDS (https://www.fpds.gov) for incumbent, POP, and other relevant information.

Q2) Would the VA consider offering annual tiered pricing in incremental inches of snowfall rather than a monthly fixed price?

Answer: No

Q3) Would you allow the successful contractor to submit the Defensive Driving Certificates upon award, or must they be submitted with the proposal?

Answer: Yes

Q4) What amount of snow is considered an emergency condition to where temporary piling is allowed?

Answer: Anything over 5 inches within a 24-hour period or at the CORs discretion.

Q5) How often is temporary piling approved?

Answer: Historically – once every 3-5 years. This is an extremely rare event and is ultimately at the CORs discretion.

Q6) Is the standard expectation that snow will be plowed into temporary piles and hauled off-site as it is actively snowing?

Answer: Designated piling areas are listed in the RFQ. Removal shall occur once the designated snow storage areas are deemed full by the COR.

Q7) Is the standard expectation that snow will be plowed into temporary piles and hauled off-site immediately after the snow has stopped falling?

Answer: Hauling off-site shall occur once the designated snow storage areas are deemed full by the COR.
