As per the description in the SAM.Gov posting, the actual LF maps will only be given out “upon award of the contract”. However, if looking for mileage, please refer to the PWS, page 14, Appendix 4 which lists the mileage from FE Warren AFB to each LF.

8. Can you guys provide the coordinates of portable toilet placement locations so that we can provide an accurate quote? As it will be cheaper if we can construct a more efficient route to visit all locations.

9. In the PWS on Page 3 of 14, Section 1.7, the specification states “The Contractor shall secure latrines to the ground to prevent tipping, in the manner they deem necessary (exception: latrines cannot be staked into the ground).”

a. What alternative method is preferred to using a stake?

There could be several ways to secure the latrines without staking into the ground. One method could be to use rope over the top of the portable latrine and tied to cinder blocks on each side of latrine.

b. Does the method require the unit still be moveable after set in place?

There is no expectation for the latrines to be moved once they are set in place.

10. How can the Contractor be responsible for control of the keys that are not in their possession? The keys have been provided to a 3rd party, i.e. the Government.

The expectation and preferred method is locks are provided on each latrine. The keys supplied to the government will be master keys in which they are able to open any latrine on any of the flights. For control purposes, the keys are signed out to Government personnel for the duration of the contract, and they are the only entity (aside from the Contractor) with access to the keys.
