Questions Received in response to RFQ 70RFPW22QWA000002 Seattle, WA
I see in the statement of work is say's there is an unknown number of employees that will use the service.
Is there any way possible whatsoever to get a ballpark number?
Answer: Contractors should price each item as shown in the RFQ. Usage per week and individuals cannot be predicted. Contractors are required to price per item not per usage.
I see there is no historical data when it comes to how many items will need to dry cleaned and repaired (as needed). The estimate is 3 per week/per employee (per item). Do you have an estimate ? In order to properly quote this service at the most affordable rate we would need at least an estimate of how many employees will be needing their uniforms serviced per week. Thanks!
Answer: There is no current historical data to provide an accurate estimate. Contractors should price each item as shown in the RFQ using the Pricelist. Contractors are required to price per item not per usage.
a. Class A, B, C & D uniform shirts. What are the differences; i.e. cotton vs rayon vs wool and so
on. This will make a difference in the cleaning method, pressing and also in the pricing.
Answer: The Pricelist identifies which shirts require cleaning and pressing. The Pricelist also identifies which items on the list will require dry-cleaning. Section 1.5.1 of the SOW has been updated with this following information about the uniform shirt material composition.
Class A shirts are a polyester/rayon blend.
Class B and C uniform shirts will be cleaned most frequently. The Class B shirt is a polyester material and the Class C is a polyester/cotton blend. There are no special requirements for cleaning.
Class D shirts are a polyester/cotton blend.
b. TDU and BDU shirts. Again, are these washable cotton or do they require dry cleaning?
Answer: The TDU and BDU shirts are both polyester with a cotton blend and may be washed; no dry-cleaning requirement.
c. Various jackets such as rain jackets, bicycle jackets, cold weather jackets. What is the material used?
Answer: The material is a dry-wicking material and would not need special laundry requirements.
d. Are repairs included in the 3 day turnaround or is this just for the laundry and dry cleaning?
Answer: The 3 day turnaround is for laundry and dry-cleaning in accordance with the Statement of Work (SOW). SOW Section 1.5.2 has been updated to ADD a statement that “Repairs and alterations shall be completed by the Contractor within seven (7) to 10 business days.”
How many days per week will items be picked up and dropped off?
Answer: Drop-off and pickup will occur Monday through Friday.
