Are hard copies of invoices acceptable?

The invoices shall be submitted with Wide Area Workflow. (WAWF). As supporting documents, hard copies are acceptable and attachments (to identify the type of service and a pick up frequency) can be attached. A hard copy shall be submitted to DFAS for the value added tax.

What is the volume of construction debris the contractor shall dispose? This question was raised, since there is a difference in costs for the disposal of gypsum and construction debris.

It can not be defined. However, the larger requirements will not be handled by CE. Also gypsum falls under construction debris. This is the responsibility of the contractor. The contractor who is operating the recycling center assists the customers separating recyclable materials. CE will not get involved into this, other than they provided the estimated figures for the pickup of construction debris.
