Hines Solid Waste Collection and Disposal Services RFQ 36C25226Q0162 – Vendor Questions with Answers

1. Please confirm whether possession and submission of a trash hauler’s license is required at the time of bid submission, or whether the successful offeror must obtain and possess the license prior to commencement of performance.

Answer: Possession and submission of a waste hauler’s license/permit shall be submitted with the solicitation package IAW the Instructions to Quoter’s – see pages 65 - 66 of the solicitation.

1. Given that this is a 100% SDVOSB set aside will the government accept personal operational experience of the key personnel (Owner/Principal) to satisfy this requirement for an SDVOSB entity that has been established for less than three years?

Reference:

Please refer to FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iii), which allows the evaluation of key personnel experience when corporate pass performance is limited. Strictly on corporate in the age may be unduly restrictive to capable SDVOSB Start-ups.

Answer: This is a FAR part 12 simplified acquisition requirement (formally covered under FAR Part 13 – Simplified Acquisition Procedures). Far Part 15 is not applicable; however, In Small Business and SDVOSB contracting, it is well-established that the experience of the owner or key management personnel is often considered the experience of the company, especially when the company has been established for less than three years. In this case, the 3-year requirement can be satisfied by an owner/principal’s experience as long as documentation is provided that supports the claim.
