VENDOR QUESTIONS

Question: CLIN 0003 ‐ According to Task B, Account Maintenance services shall include all fees required to transfer silver to the accounts of battery Manufactures. In addition to the transfer fee, should this fee also include any administration fees on a per troy ounce basis?

Answer: Yes, any administration fees should also be included.

Question: CLIN 0004 ‐ Maximum quantity is stated as 5. Is this a per transaction fee with a maximum of 5 transactions per year?

Answer: Yes, this is a per transaction fee with a maximum of 5 transactions per year.

Question: CLIN 0005 ‐ Maximum quantity is stated as 1. Is this a one‐time fee to provide transaction information for the entire year?

Answer: This CLIN should be not separately priced (NSP). Transaction information and silver balance reports are required in accordance with the statement of work and the quality assurance surveillance plan.

Question: Does the Combined Synopsis/Solicitation under solicitation number N0025315T0093 contain requirements similar to a current contract? If possible, please provide the current contract number.

Or, is this a new requirement for the government?

Answer: The previous contract number is N00253‐10‐D‐0006.

Question: I have some questions related to the mercury batteries. Will Hawthorne be retorting this material ? If so, will they re‐check the mercury levels (of retorted materials) and notify the refiner of those mercury levels ?

Answer: No, the Government will not be retorting the material.

Question: If not, since it will have to be retorted, can they send such material directly to retort (sub)contractor before it comes to the refiner ? Please advise.

Answer: No, material cannot be shipped to a subcontractor.

Question: Can you tell me if the batteries will be in their cases or have the cases been removed? Also, would it be possible to get an assay from past refining processes?

N00253-15-T-0093

Answer: The batteries will be out of the cases, and the greater than and less 80% silver bearing material will be separated. We do not have any assay for past refining.

Question: Under #8 of the solicitation ‐ Quality assurance requirement. Silver‐Zinc w/mercuric oxide:

Has the mercury been retorted and removed or do the batteries still contain mercury? If mercury has not been removed, what is your estimated quantity of mercuric oxide batteries?

Answer: The mercury has not been retorted and removed. Estimated quantity is between 15,000 to 25,000 batteries.
