| It is clear in the PWS that one annual GWS event will be completed. Are LUC inspections also limited to one annually, and if so, may the LUC inspections be completed concurrent with GWS? |
| Yes and yes |
| 18. |
| 1.0 Scope, 1.1 Introduction “Specifically, this PWS encompasses the full range of methods, technologies, and supporting activities necessary to perform: 1) long-term management of LUCs and groundwater monitoring wells, including performance of annual LUC inspections and repairs, well inspections, well repair, well redevelopment, well characterization, well abandonment.” The PWS is clear on the GWS activities, but not on the LUC inspections. Please provide an estimated number of wells that would need repaired, redeveloped, abandoned. Also, please provide additional information to allow for accurate costing of landfill CAP repair and signage repair/replacement. |
| Unknown since the Government has yet to receive the FY18 LTM Report. However, it is not anticipated that any signs are in need of repair, or any wells need redevelopment/repair. However, the contractor shall assume 1 sign will need to be replaced. The winning bidder will be informed of what sign needs to be replaced during the project kick-off meeting. |
| 19. |
| Section 4.1 Post Award Meeting/Teleconference: Must the contractor be present at Dobbins for the kickoff meeting or will a remote teleconference be acceptable? |
| Teleconference is acceptable |
| 20. |
| Section 4.2 Progress Meetings: If only 1 annual LUC inspection/GWS event is required, is there a need for 6 progress meetings? |
| Dobbins ARB would prefer monthly progress meetings be performed until the onsite work is completed. Progress meetings may be performed via teleconference. Therefore, the number of progress meetings proposed shall be based on the completion of field activities. The Contractor shall assume each progress meeting will be no longer than 30 minutes in length. |
The PWS has been revised
| 21. |
| Section 4.7 CPSMR: If only 1 annual LUC inspection/GWS event is required, is there a need for 12 monthly CPSMRs? |
| The Period of Performance of this contract is 12 months. Therefore, preparation and submittal of monthly CPSMRs are required until the end of the project |
| 22. |
| For past GWS events, was the IDW groundwater classified and disposed of as Non-Hazardous? |
| Analytical sampling of the IDW generated from past GWS events has resulted in IDW classification and disposal as NON HAZARDOUS WASTE. However, all IDW must be properly sampled and characterized prior to disposal. |

| 75. PWS Section 4.10 |
| Have all current well construction and analytical results for each site been uploaded to ERPIMS? |
| No. Older wells cannot be verified as existing in ERPIMS; newest wells are in ERPIMS. |
| 76. PWS Section 4.4 |
| Are there any site-specific trainings required to work on this project or access the sites? |
| No not at this time |
| 77. PWS Sections 1.1 and 5.4.1 |
| Is required repair work limited to only signage, fencing, and well damage that occurs during the contract period of performance? |
| YES. |
| 78. PWS Section 5.4.2 |
| Please confirm that bidders must assume that the liquid IDW from each site must be directly sampled for waste characterization. Many waste transportation and disposal subcontractors do not require additional waste characterization beyond the groundwater sampling results for purge water and decontamination water IDW. |
| IDW must be directly sampled for waste characterization prior to disposal. |
| 79. PWS Section 5.4.2 |
| If the liquid IDW from each site must be sampled directly for waste characterization, are there any contract requirements for what parameters the IDW samples must be analyzed for? |

| YES. One centrally located accumulation point can be used unless the quantity of drums exceeds available space. The contractor will work with the on base personnel to determine the location of drums. If drums are not covered, they will need secondary containment. All drums generated must be disposed within 90 days of generation. If secondary containment is used, simple pallet-size secondary containment containers used with protective covering over the drums is sufficient. |
| 88. PWS Section 5.4.2 |
| Will the contract awardee be provided with all available GIS shapefiles applicable to generate the figures (e.g., site maps, etc.) required for project documents? |
| A GIS file showing location of the sites is available. |
| 89. PWS Section 5.4.2 |
| Are purge, development, and decontamination water IDW the only anticipated media that will require containerization, characterization, and off-site disposal; or would other waste, such as disposable PPE and/or disposable sampling equipment also require these measures? |
| All waste generated as a result of work under this contract shall be drummed, characterized and disposed of off-site. |
One centrally located accumulation point can be used unless the quantity of drums exceeds available space. The contractor will work with the on base personnel to determine the location of drums. If drums are not covered, they will need secondary containment. All drums generated must be disposed within 90 days of generation. If secondary containment is used, simple pallet-size secondary containment containers used with protective covering over the drums is sufficient.
