7. Section M defines Substantial Confidence as the Government having a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort based on their recent and relevant performance record.

However, the solicitation does not define the minimum number of relevant past performance references, or the specific combination of relevancy and performance quality ratings required to achieve a Substantial Confidence assessment. Please clarify how the Government determines a Substantial Confidence rating when an offeror submits references of varying relevancy and quality ratings. Specifically, please confirm whether a minimum number of 'Very Relevant' or 'Relevant' references is required to achieve Substantial Confidence, and whether 'Exceptional' performance quality ratings on 'Somewhat Relevant' or commercial references can contribute to or offset a lack of 'Very Relevant' references when determining the overall confidence assessment.

A: There is no minimum number. The government reserves the right to give greater consideration to information on those contracts deemed most relevant to the effort described in the solicitation.

8. Section M states that past performance for subcontractors performing major or critical aspects of the requirement will be rated as highly as past performance for the principal offeror, and Table 4 defines relevancy based on scope, magnitude, and complexity. Please confirm whether the Government will evaluate the combined past performance portfolio of the prime offeror and subcontractor collectively when determining the overall performance confidence assessment rating. Specifically, if a subcontractor provides a 'Very Relevant' military past performance reference for their proposed portion of the work, can that reference be used collectively to elevate the team's overall rating to 'Substantial Confidence' if the prime offeror's references are primarily large-scale commercial campus operations?

A: Yes, the prime and subcontractor will be collectively combined in determining the offerors confidence level, which would include the relationship that the prime and subcontractor has had in the past.

9. For the purposes of evaluating past performance relevancy under Section M Table 4, please confirm which of the following service components the Government considers when assessing whether a past performance reference involves similar scope to this requirement: (1) MSW collection and hauling; (2) compactor hauling; (3) open top container management; (4) specialty waste handling; (5) multiple waste stream management; (6) recycling and diversion services; (7) Construction and Demolition debris collection and disposal; (8) multiple funding stream billing and invoicing. Additionally, please clarify if an offeror's reference must demonstrate all eight (8) components to be considered 'Very Relevant' or 'Relevant' in scope, or if a reference demonstrating a core majority (e.g., components 1, 2, and 3) performed at a similar facility density can still achieve a highly relevant rating. Please also identify any additional service components not listed above that the Government considers essential to scope determination.

A: The Government will evaluate how the past performance information is similar in nature to this requirement. No, all eight of the listed does not have to be demonstrated to be considered “Very Relevant or Relevant”.

10. For the purposes of evaluating past performance relevancy under Section M Table 4, please confirm which of the following measurable factors the Government uses when assessing whether a past performance reference is of similar magnitude to this requirement, and provide the minimum threshold for each factor considered: (1) total annual tonnage; (2) total number of containers serviced; (3) total number of service locations or buildings; (4) total contract dollar value; (5) total number of container types managed; (6) geographic size of the installation or service area. If the Government evaluates these factors holistically rather than by individual thresholds, please provide the specific minimum annual contract dollar value or minimum container count required for a reference to be considered "Very Relevant" or "Relevant" in magnitude. Please also identify any additional magnitude factors not listed above that the Government considers when making this determination.

this requirement. The Government is seeking a contractor who can provide the services described in the Performance Work Statement to include the types of containers and servicing of those containers as listed in the appendix. It does not need to be a single reference that reflects the ability to perform the work.

11. For the purposes of evaluating past performance relevancy under Section M Table 4, please confirm which of the following factors the Government considers when assessing whether a past performance reference involves similar complexity to this requirement: (1) multiple funding streams and billing entities requiring separate invoicing; (2) multiple waste streams requiring different handling, equipment, or disposal methods; (3) federal installation security access requirements and protocols; (4) specialized waste handling requirements such as foreign trash incineration or specialty waste disposal; (5) multiple container types requiring different collection vehicles and equipment; (6) variable service frequencies across a large number of service locations; (7) regulatory compliance and reporting requirements under state and federal environmental regulations; (8) contract performance across multiple geographically separate installations or annexes. Additionally, please clarify if a commercial reference demonstrating extreme complexity in commercial operations (e.g., factors 1, 2, 5, 6, and 7 performed across a massive corporate or medical campus) will be considered equivalent in complexity to a military installation reference. Please also identify any additional complexity factors not listed above that the Government considers when making this determination, and confirm whether any of these factors carry greater weight than others in the complexity assessment.

this requirement. The Government is seeking a contractor who can provide the services described in the Performance Work Statement to include the types of containers and servicing of those containers as listed in the appendix. The references can be either commercial or Government or a combination of both.

Please also confirm whether the estimated quantity of 250 reflects recent historical averages.

A: CLIN XX10 is to be used on an on-call basis. There are no specific locations or events associated with it. CLIN XX10 is to capture the containers for McGuire/Dix. 250 does not reflect historical averages.

60. CLIN 0010 estimated pulls must be clarified as one of the following: (1) additional hauls on the 30-cyd containers already identified in the recurring pick-up schedule in Appendix A that exceed the listed service frequency; or (2) separate temporary 30-cyd containers deployed for special projects, cleanouts, construction, or similar non-recurring needs that are entirely over and above the containers identified in the recurring schedule. If the answer is (2), please confirm the maximum number of temporary 30-cyd containers the contractor is expected to have available at any one time, as this directly impacts equipment inventory and availability costs in offeror pricing.

A: CLIN XX10 is to be used on an on-call basis. This is a contractor’s decision to the number they should have in inventory.

61. CLIN 0011 identifies an estimated quantity of 260 Non-Recurring 30-cyd container pulls with tipping. As disposal costs must be included in the unit price for this CLIN, please provide either the total anticipated annual tonnage for these 260 pulls or the historical average tonnage per pull so that offerors can accurately price disposal costs.

A: Disposal cost will no longer be included and will be billed under CLIN XX17. This is a non-recurring CLIN and there is no average or anticipated tonnage.

62. Table A2 identifies three (3) 35-cubic-yard compactors serviced at a frequency of six (6) times per week, which equates to approximately 936 total hauls annually across all three units. This frequency does not reconcile with the total annual site tonnage of 8,000 tons identified in Table A1. To ensure accurate and competitive pricing, the Government must provide one of the following: (1) the average number of hauls per month for each compactor unit individually, or (2) the total combined hauls per month across all three compactor units. Please do not refer offerors back to the stated frequency, as that is the basis of this discrepancy.

A: This has been changed to 3x per week for each dumpster.

63. PWS sections 1.1.3.1, 1.1.3.2, and 1.1.3.6 identify three distinct non-recurring service triggers:

unscheduled pickups and special events, Construction and Demolition debris collection, and additional pickups due to unusual conditions. Please clarify which non-recurring CLINs (0008 through 0015) correspond to each of these PWS triggers. Specifically, please identify whether a single CLIN is intended to cover multiple triggers or whether each trigger is priced under a separate CLIN.

A: Para 1.1.3.1 refers to CLIN 0016.

Para 1.1.3.2 refers to CLINS 0008 through 0011.

Para 1.1.3.6 refers to CLINS 0001 and 0008 through 0012.

64. PWS section 1.1.3.2 requires the contractor to provide roll-off containers for Construction and Demolition debris when requested. Please identify which CLIN is to be used for C&D debris collection and disposal, and confirm whether C&D tonnage is included in the 8,000 annual ton estimate for McGuire/Dix or the 1,098 annual ton estimate for Lakehurst identified in Table A1.

A: CLIN will depend on container size and location. C&D debris is included in estimates.

65. CLIN 0012 identifies Non-Recurring 6-cyd container pulls with tipping, which indicates this for Lakehurst and not for McGuire/Dix containers. Please clarify if this is to be used for Lakehurst only. If it is to be used for both Lakehurst and McGuire/Dix, there becomes a problem with the government paying disposal costs twice for McGuire/Dix as they will be charged for the service under this CLIN and disposal under CLIN 0017. As this is a route-based service, there is no way to separate out disposal for this one service request. If CLIN 0012 applies exclusively to Lakehurst, please identify which CLIN covers unscheduled or additional 6-cyd pulls at McGuire/Dix.

A: This is for Lakehurst only. McGuire/Dix does not have unscheduled 6cy dumpsters.

66. CLIN 0013 identifies an estimated quantity of 8 Non-Recurring 20-cyd Grease/Grit container pulls with tipping. The recurring pick-up schedule in Appendix A identifies (1) 20-cubic-yard grease and grit containers at Building 4352 already associated with existing CLINs for recurring service. Please confirm whether the estimated 8 pulls under CLIN 0013 represent pulls over and above the recurring scheduled service at Building 4352, and confirm whether the estimated quantity of 8 reflects recent historical averages.

A: CLIN 0013 is for Lakehurst only. This CLIN is used on an on-call basis..

67. Why are tipping fees separated for CLINs referring to McGuire/Ft. Dix operations, and included in Lakehurst operations?

A: All tipping fees will now be billed under CLIN XX17. Please see revised bid schedule.

A: Contractor provided.

69. The recurring pick-up schedule in Appendix A identifies three (3) 35-cyd compactors at Buildings 3452 and 3453 with a service frequency of six (6) times per week. If they are each hauling 6x per week, that equates to approximately 936 total hauls annually across all three units. Please confirm whether this frequency reflects actual historical service levels during the most recent 12-month period.

A: This has been changed to 3x per week for each dumpster, please see updated Performance Work Statement

70. Please provide the annual tonnage, average haul weight, and frequency for the 35-cyd compactor located at Building 3452 and 3453.

A: Annual tonnage data for these containers is unavailable. Frequency is stated in Table A2 for each container.

71. CLIN 0015 identifies Non-Recurring 30CY compactor (w/tipping) at an estimated quantity of 32 each. The only compactors identified in the recurring pick-up schedule in Appendix A are three (3) 35-cyd units at Buildings 3452 and 3453.

A: Waste Innovations, Westville, NJ.

73. Please confirm whether CLIN 0017 is intended as a pass-through reimbursement based on actual disposal invoices submitted by the contractor, or whether offerors are expected to establish a fixed unit price per ton for disposal. If CLIN 0017 is intended as a pass-through reimbursement, the Government should establish a fixed unit price for this CLIN to ensure fair and equal pricing across all offerors.

A: The X017 series shall not be priced by contractors. Contractor shall provide tipping fee tickets with pricing per ton when invoicing.

74. The recurring pick-up schedule in Appendix A identifies specialty wastewater containers at Building 4352 for three distinct waste streams: Grease, Sludge, and Grit/Screen.
