Question 115: The ROM given is $10-25M. The current response to questions regarding the bid schedule for removal of Underground Storage Tanks indicates that the number of units (e.g. 400) is intended to represent the number of tanks to be removed. However, when you add 400 tanks for each size = 1,600 tanks per year; and price 1,600 tanks per year for the next 5 years, the TEP is significantly above the $25M upper ROM limit. Is this the government's intention? Does the government intend to remove 8,000 tanks during the course of the contract? Five years ago in

Amendment 3, the answers to the issue of the number of tanks was answered as the number of units represented the size of the tank to be removed not the number of tanks (see italicized text below), which resulted in a significantly lower TEP. Would the government consider changing the quantity of tanks for all line items in 1018 and 1019 from 400 to 1?

Answer 115: Correction: Item 1019 and 1018, Underground Storage Tank Removal (Does not include fuel which is included in Item 1019E)

The figure in the "Number of Units" column depicts a set size (400 gallons) for each of 1019A, B, C and D. For the purpose of establishing a unit (per gal) price, this figure will remain at 400 for each size category. Each category is based on actual tank size in gallons, i.e., a 1500 gallon tank would fall under 1019B and be calculated as unit price per gal times 1500 gallons.

When bidding on these items, input the price per unit of measure (gallon) for the different sizes

(1019A, B, C and D); Your per gallon price should be different for each of the different sizes categories'. Next, multiply your unit price per Gal times 400 gallons to get your total.

(Demo Contractor pricing EXAMPLE ONLY) Size of tank is 2500 gallons, this will fall under

Unit 1019B, 1,001 – 5,000: unit price per Gal is $1.50 (example only), this will be multiplied times 2500 gallons to achieve a total cost of $3750.00. (Example only)

Example only: Your unit price per gallon for unit 1019C may be $1.10; thus your total would calculated against the total gallon size of the actual tank (Example only)
