As stated from the Statement of Work 1.3 Fish Count, “Tanks may have any or all of the following: Cichlid fish, Clown fish, Angel fish, Barb fish, Black tetra fish, Catfish (no longer than 4 inches), Cherry barb fish, Cory fish, Danio fish, Firemouth fish or Plecostomus (Suckerfish).

11. Could the Government provide a list of any known hazardous materials currently associated with the 30-gallon and 75-gallon tanks? Furthermore, per Section 2.1.4, what are the 'proper disposal instructions' for hazardous waste generated during the contract, and is the contractor responsible for off-base disposal? There is only regular fish waste.

12. Does the Quantity of '1 Each' for CLIN 0002 refer to a total estimated budget for replacement parts for the entire year, or is it asking for the price of one single repair?

Because parts like a lightbulb vs. a water pump have very different costs, we need to know if the Government wants an estimated total budget for the 12-month period? We would like an estimated budget for the 12-month period

13. How long has the tank been running? We could not identify how long it has been running.

14. Repairs: Section 1.4 says service calls are at 'no additional cost.' Does this apply only to the labor of the visit, or is the contractor expected to provide the replacement parts (pumps/tanks) at no cost as well? Or will parts be billed separately after approval?

Service calls are priced into CLIN 0001. Replacement parts to include fish are priced into CLIN 0002.
