QUESTION RESPONSE

Is this an addition to 70CDCR22Q00000016 or a second requirement?

RFQ 70CDCR22Q00000016 was cancelled and 70CDCR22Q00000017 is reposted in its place.

Is there an incumbent? If so, can you provide the current/previous contract number? No, the Government has been performing this work.

What is the estimated amount of mail to be picked up and delivery daily (by volume of weight and/or package size)?

Volume and total weight varies per day; as stated in SOW individual package size for bin could weigh as much as 80 pounds. As the packages are not being shipped but hand delivered from one office to the next, the Government seeks a monthly charge to provide this service from 8‐4:30pm (Monday‐Friday).

Would a pick up truck with covered bed or small van be acceptable to handle the anticipated volume?

Yes, as long as the vehicle can accommodate the potential 10 locking bins at one time.

If there is an incumbent, would the driver/couriers be available for hire (right of first refusal) upon contract award? No incumbent.

Would contact information (email & phone) be provided after award?

Award notification will be provided to those who submit a response.

Would prior notification (the day before) be given by the customer, if there were no mail to be delivered or picked up (i.e. the day after Thanksgiving)?

Yes, we will provide the POC information for each office's location. The customer will provide prior notification but vendor can reach out to the POC directly as well to check status.

Will a cargo van be enough space to accommodate the bins needing to be picked up and dropped off?

Yes, depending on the cargo van type. A vehicle similar to a Ford 350 Transit Cargo should be able to reasonably accommodate the 10 bins, if properly stacked.

Also what are the dimensions of the bins?

Per the SOW ‐ Scope of Work, the individual dimension of the locking bin is 22x14x9.
