Questions and Answers Solicitation FA282321Q4002 19 February 2021
Q1. Could you please tell me if the Combined Synopsis/Solicitation posted as solicitation number FA282321Q4002 will be a follow-on requirement to any work performed currently or in the past, or will this be a new requirement?
A1. The requirement advertised in solicitation FA282321Q4002 is a follow-on to the current contract
FA282316C4001.
Q2. When is a site visit scheduled?
A2. SITE VISIT CLARIFICATION: The Government does not intend to facilitate or offer a site visit for this requirement. As the refuse receptacles are varied in distance and location, it is not feasible for the Government to facilitate a site visit to the receptacles themselves. Additionally, the locations of each receptacle for this requirement can already be found in Appendix A and B of the Performance Work Statement (PWS). To facilitate effective communication between the Government and interested parties, the Government intends to provide answers to questions as they are received, as opposed to waiting for the questions due date to pass. Interested parties are highly encouraged to submit questions regarding any additional information required in order to be able to develop an offer.
Note: Questions and Answers documents (Q&A)s are cumulative. Reviewing the most recently dated version will show any and all questions and answers addressed up to the date referenced on the document.
Q3. When are questions due for the solicitation?
A3. Paragraph D10 of the solicitation covers formal communications, to include questions. It states that they are due no later than 10 calendar days prior to offer due date which is 1 March 2021.
Q4. Will you grant a 2 week extension for offers due?
A4. The Government anticipates adequate competition with the time frame currently allotted, therefore we do no plan on granting an extension at this time. If, in the future, it appears that adequate competition may not be obtained, we will consider an extension.
Q5. In reviewing the container type, size and service frequencies shown in Table A2 – Tasks & Estimated Frequencies against the quantities on Attachment 4 Refuse Bid Schedule we noted the discrepancies shown on the following table. Could you please correct the discrepancies so bidders have accurate quantities for equipment purchase and pricing?
A5. Table A2 of the PWS has been corrected to match the Bid Schedule and attached in Amendment 2 to the solicitation.
Q6. Table A2 – Tasks & Estimated Frequencies shows the following container locations that have service levels that are not listed on Attachment 4 Refuse Bid Schedule:….. Please correct these entries in Table A2 or if they are correct please add these service types to the Attachment 4 Refuse Bid Schedule.

Q7. Please provide the Size, Type and Service Frequency information for Building # 724 - TLF Postal Point listed in Table A2 – Tasks & Estimated Frequencies.
19 February 2021
A7. Building has been removed from Appendix A2
Q8. Attachment 4 Refuse Bid Schedule. Please confirm that the line “Roll off containers disposal fees –
107.50 TN per Month” is to be used for pricing the disposal of Construction Debris (Appendix A ITEM 1 Construction Debris 1290 Tons Annual).
A8. CORRECT
Q9. PWS 1.1.2 Bear Proof container requirement states that the Contractor shall provide 8 Bear Proof containers per contract year. However the quantities of Bear Proof Containers in each line Item on Attachment 4 Refuse Bid Schedule does not change from year to year? Shouldn’t the quantity of Bear Proof containers in the Line Items increase each year and shouldn’t there be an offsetting decrease in normal 8CY containers?
A9. Attachment 4 Refuse Bid schedule has been amended to reflect increase in Bear Proof cans and decrease in standard 8 yd cans.
Q10. PWS 1.1.2. Bear Proof Waste Container requirement states “The Guardian by Bearicuda part # DMP108FL ….This contract requires 40 such containers at start up to be placed in accordance with Appendix A.” Bearicuda is currently quoting a 12 to 18 week lead time for an order of 40 containers.
Accordingly, these containers are not available for contract startup, would the government please adjust this requirement to allow for manufacturer’s lead time.
A10. PWS para 1.1.2 has been amended to read “20 weeks after contract start up”
Q11. PWS 1.1.2. Bear Proof Waste Container section further requires that the Contractor provide 8 additional Bear Proof containers per year within 14 calendar days of request. Bearicuda does not keep these containers in inventory and again quoted 12 to 18 weeks for future deliveries. Would the government please modify this requirement to allow for the manufacturer’s lead time.
A11. PWS para 1.1.2 has been amended to read “20 weeks”.
Q12. PWS 1.1.2 Bear Proof Waste Containers, would the government please provide a Line Item in each contract out year for the addition of extra 8 CY Bear Proof containers, the Line Item UoM should be each to allow for pricing of the cost of the additional Bear Proof containers over the remaining term of the contract.
A12. The line item in each out year indicates an increase of the 8 bear proof cans as EA following the correction to question 11 above.
Q13. PWS 5.0 Appendices states “Price proposals shall be submitted within 15 calendar days from the date the Contractor receives notice of the revision, supplement or amendment giving rise to the increase in cost of performance.” Please confirm that the 15-calendar day limitation does not apply to requests for reimbursement of Wage Determination pay adjustments which have a 30-day limitation.
A13. Adjustments due to changes in DOL Wage Determinations will be handled in accordance with FAR 52.222-43(f), as it will be included in the contract.
19 February 2021
Q14. PWS APPENDIX A line 18 shows a monthly Quantity of 85 for On Call roll off container services. The actual historic average over the current contract has been 59 per month, with a one time high of 79 and a low of 36 in a month. It is important that bidders have the correct historic average so that they can allocate their cost of equipment and personnel correctly.
A14. PWS Appendix A, line 18 workload is estimated based on known or anticipated growth. Quantity is 85 per month.
