Please clarify; Provided to Quantico

Assessors ASAP, will this be provided back to contractor to include in RFQ submittal or will it be forwarded internally.

The past performance questionnaire shall be completed by the reference and returned directly to the contracting personnel identified for internal use only. It is not to be provided back to the contractor for submittal with their quote.

PWS Drinking Water samples – are these samples required to be collected by contractor? Or are these samples collected by Quantico and contractor just picking up samples?

The samples shall be collected by MCB Quantico plant operators. Contractor is required to pick up the samples for testing.

Instructions to

Offerors

Prices – There is no pricing table included to indicate QTY and analysis required per month for the duration of the contract. Only the historical data is included. a.

Historical table – for some analysis there are no samples indicated. Also, quantities aren’t consistent.

a. (ex. Halo Acetic Acids – Q3 2014

– 11 samples, Q3 2015- 7 samples).

b. Fuel Specifications is listed in the table, but table indicates no samples performed. Is this required, if so what quantity and frequency?

c. Tank Hydrostatic Testing is listed in the table, but table indicates no samples performed. Is this required, if so what quantity and frequency?

d. Permit Renewal Testing –

Expected date of next sampling, usually every 5 years.

Contractor shall set prices based on their technical approach. Historical information was provided to allow contractors a better understanding of the requirements; however, this data is not absolute and does not replace the PWS. All information contained in the quote shall be based on addressing the services set forth under the PWS.

Contractor shall use their industry knowledge and experience to develop their technical approach to include the estimated amount of samples, frequency and testing needed for each sampling category.

PWS Page 19 of 72 – Biological Oxygen

Demand (5) and Biological Oxygen

Demand (I). I assume Biological

Oxygen Demand (5) = BOD5, what is Biological Oxygen Demand (I)?

Biological Oxygen Demand (5), should instead state Biochemical Oxygen Demand (5), and means:

5-Day Biochemical Oxygen Demand test. This name has been corrected in the PWS.

Biological Oxygen Demand (I), should instead state

Carbonaceous Biochemical Oxygen Demand

(CBOD). This has been corrected in the PWS.
