I am trying to find blueprints or some kind of drawings or something for this job. We supply all temporary traffic control, portable toilets, Dumpsters and storage containers. I would love to get a quote together but I am having a tough time finding anything. I looked on the websites that typically have drawings that we need. So if you could point me in the right direction or email or fax me some drawings I would greatly appreciate it. This is a pre-solicitation RFP – at this time we are not requesting proposals only questions based on the DRAFT RFP. Also note, this contact will not be bid in sections therefore you must bid the entire contract. We require a Prime with at least 50% (13CFR 125.6 para(a))of the contract functions, some functions may be sub-contracted. If you are interested in sub-contracting, you could find a partner (Prime) to submit a proposal once it is posted.

Our company will look to subcontract for our HVAC water treatment services with prime contractors. I end up having to ask a lot of questions to be able to price out our services.

Please ask any questions at this time based on our draft PWS/TE. You will also have an opportunity to ask additional questions during the RFP solicitation duration.
