Solicitation #FA4484-13-R-0019

Questions:

1. Does emergent relocation within 8 hours include weekends and evenings? For example: Contractor gets an emergency call or email at 5 pm on a Friday afternoon, does contractor have to respond that evening?

Response: In accordance with Paragraph 1.6, the contractor shall relocate a portable latrine or portable hand wash stations within 8 hours. There are no exceptions to this requirement due to dynamic training mission requirements.

2. There is no line item for extra service of latrines or hand wash stations. Example: there is a special exercise that will be held on Saturday and/or Sunday requiring the latrines to have extra service on the weekend. This would not fall under the “industry standard for cleaning” What line item would contractor use to bill for that “extra service”?

Response: In accordance with Paragraph 1.4, the first sentence states, “Each portable latrine shall be serviced in accordance with industry standards predicated on the amount of usage.” To further clarify the intent of this sentence, “shall be serviced in accordance with industry standards” means to include but not limited to the actual physical emptying, cleaning and providing of toilet supplies. In addition, “predicted on the amount of usage” means the contractor shall develop the frequency of cleaning to maintain healthy sanitary conditions predicate on observed usage. With that said, it is incumbent upon the bidders to determine a competitive price to include “extra services” and all cost variables within the solicited CLIN structure.

3. Will a revised solicitation be posted for bidding purposes that includes all the updated descriptions for clins and updated quantities (for base year)?

Response: All documents have been updated with this amendment.
