7. Market Research: In the past, we used the self-service car wash stations on post.

These car washes are no longer available. The wash rack on post does not get the vehicles clean enough and offer to vacuuming service. We found that the automated car wash next to the Wilson Road gas station is SAM registered. This car wash would be ideal because it is located on post which saves at least 20 minutes from driving off post. The facility has an attendant to resolve any possible issues with taking a vehicle through the automated car wash. This car wash uses a conveyor-type mechanism which allows multiple vehicles into the car wash at the same time and the typical wash time is only three minutes.

We did look at the nearest car washes located off post; however, CST would spend 30 plus minutes driving off post and then getting through the gate and driving back on post.

It will be difficult enough trying to get all these vehicles cleaned right before getting re-dispatched. The time spent to take these vehicles off post just to get them cleaned would make the task near impossible. The following car washes are not acceptable:

1. Jim’s Express Car Wash: This facility is off post. Each vehicle would spend at least 20 minutes round trip getting off post and back on. This facility has inconsistent service and is not SAM.gov registered.

2. Steve’s Car Wash, 1345 S Dixie Blvd, Radcliff, KY 40160. This facility is off post.

Each vehicle would spend at least 40 minutes round trip getting off post and back on.

This facility has inconsistent service and is not SAM.gov registered.

3. Tidal Wave Auto Spa. 240 N Dixie Blvd, Radcliff, KY. This facility is off post. Each vehicle would spend at least 30 minutes round trip getting off post and back on. This facility has inconsistent service and is not SAM.gov registered.

8. Other Facts: None
