Page 3 of 27 Transportation, Delivery and Relocation Solutions (TDRS) Solicitation FBGT-GG-050001-B Refresh 19

Transport Partnership logos inform the transportation services industry and federal agency customers that our vendors are sustainable in support of Executive Order 13514-Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic

Performance. Our federal agency customers will also be able to use this qualification to show how they are complying with the Executive Order 13514.

The Domestic Delivery services include vendors who offer environmentally sustainable transportation options designed through partnering with the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) SmartWay Program. The individual performance rankings of these providers may be accessed through the SmartWay program at:http://www.epa.gov/smartway/partnership/performance.htmProcurement officers may optimize the environmental performance of their freight operations by selecting the most efficient providers which meet their needs. This approach will lessen the impact of freight transport on the environment by reducing fuel consumption, greenhouse gases, and other air pollutants.

If you are registered as a SmartWay Carrier, Logistics or Shipper Partner, you are encouraged to indicate that on your proposal. Your status may be verified by accessing the SmartWay listing on the EPA website at:http://www.epa.gov/smartway/partnerlists/partner-list.htm. Note that while SmartWay partnership is encouraged, it is not a requirement in order to be approved under this SIN.

Vendors who are not registered as SmartWay Partners but who are interested in the SmartWay Transport Partnership must go to the Environmental Protection Agency’s website for additional information on how to join:

Hundredweight/Rates Per-Pound: This applies to a single or multiple piece shipment pricing at a price per pound for a weight grouping (e.g. 100 – 499 pounds, 500 – 999 pounds), rather than a price for an individual pound. The actual shipment weight is multiplied by the price for the shipment grouping shown on a Contractor’s rate chart that the weight falls into. (e.g. A shipment weighs 250 pounds with a Hundredweight 100 - 499 pounds grouping price of $1.75. The price would be calculated by: 250 pounds shipment weight x $1.75 price = $437.50 the price of the shipment.)

Hundredweight (CWT): This applies to shipment pricing at a price per each hundred pounds (CWT) of shipment weight. The actual shipment weight is divided by 100 to determine the number of Hundredweight units of the shipment.

Hundredweight unit shown on a Contractor’s rate chart for the weight grouping that the weight falls into. (e.g. A shipment weighs 350 pounds with a Hundredweight 200 - 499 pounds grouping price of $30.75. The price would be calculated by: 350 pounds shipment weight divided by 100 = 3.5 x $30.75 price = $107.63 the price of the shipment.)
