1. Section 1.5.1 - Will the contractor have to supply the carpet shampooer?

If the PWS does not say the government provides it, then the contractor will provide it.

1.0. Scope of Work. Except for items specified in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) as government furnished property or services, the contractor shall provide all personnel, supervision, any items and services necessary to perform food service attendant services at the Two Seasons Dining Facility at Eielson AFB (EAFB) as defined in this PWS.

At this time the government can only provide the projected numbers that are outlined in the Statement of Work due to Operational Security Concerns.

4. Section 1.10.4 - When it states "number of serving lines/cashiers" is that actual serving lines and cashier stations or is that the number of contract staff that is required for serving and cashier duties? The

"**Note" on page 14 leads one to believe it is the number of people, not actual serving lines/stations.

The number of contract staff.

**Note: One line server will cover the breakfast line from 0700-1330. A second line server will open the brunch serving line at 1030-1330. Both lines will be cleaned at the end of the meal period.

A line server is a person. A cashier is a person.

5. Section 1.10.4 - The chart on the bottom of page 13 indicates exercise hours, serving lines and cashiers. Is this for the RANG training exercise weekends? It does not specify, only stating "exercise hours".

The government is unsure of what the abbreviation RANG stands for? Exercise hours are for any exercise we may have.
