Will the Government please clarify if the PPQ (Attachment 4) should state, “past work is defined as contracts performed and/or being performing for any customer within the last three (3) years from the issuance day of the solicitation (22 August 2024)”?

Amendment 0001 Page 5

Q28. FAR 52.212-1 Subparagraph (4) instructs Offerors to provide, “A technical description of the items being offered in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with the requirements in the solicitation” but page 3 of the RFO only refers to a Mission-Essential Contractor Services Plan (MECSP).

Are Offerors required to submit any information other than the MECSP for the Technical Evaluation Factor?

A28. No. The language stated above is mandatory language in the FAR Clause that may be requirement specific.

Q29. The notes at the bottom of the "Pricing Worksheet" tab reference 200 tons estimated to go to the Anchorage Transfer station, with a $39/ton tipping fee. This cost does not appear to be included in CLIN 0005, where only the 4,924 tons to the Anchorage Landfill are included. Is this in addition to the Landfill Tipping Fees in CLIN 0005? And in what scenario is the transfer station required for use?

A29. The estimated 200 tons to the Transfer Station is already included in the total. The Transfer Station is used when icy conditions of the roads exist, or muddy conditions of the landfill are excessive.

A30. Trucks must exit the base and use Hwy 1.
