QUESTION 1: Will the successful bidder on this procurement be precluded from bidding on the Environmental Compliance Services opportunity at Joint Region Marianas, Solicitation Number
N4019219RP800?
Answer 1: The awardee of this solicitation may participate in, and submit a proposal in response to, any future solicitation related to Environmental Compliance Services at Joint Region Marianas. However, a potential organizational conflict of interest (OCI) may arise; and the awardee of this solicitation may be required to address the potential OCI on any such future solicitation. Significant potential OCIs are normally resolved by imposing some restraint, appropriate to the nature of the conflict, upon the contractor's eligibility for future contracts or subcontracts. Refer to FAR Subpart 9.505 for general rules.
QUESTION 2: Reference Section J Exhibits A-E. ELINs A117-A136 state “Price per pound for the proper disposal to an EPA-approved disposal facility. Includes labor, shipping container, trucking/shipment and proper documentation”. The current BOS contractor does not perform this service and issues the waste item to DRMO/DLA for disposal. Is it the Government’s intent under this contract to stop disposal through DRMO/DLA?
Answer 2: No. It is not the Government’s intent to stop disposal through DRMO/DLA. However, the Contractor must have the capability to dispose to an EPA-approved disposal facility should DRMO/DLA not be available.
QUESTION 3: Reference Section J. No quantities for asbestos and lead-based paint are provided in the workload data. Will the Government provide the workload data or a basis of estimate?
Answer 3: No. Asbestos, lead-based paint, and PCBs are not generally encountered.

QUESTION 4: Our understanding is the current workforce is under a collective bargaining agreement with the IBEW. Will the current CBA agreement be incorporated into the contract?

QUESTION 5: Reference Attachment JC-1 Performance Work Statement. Attachment J-0200000-01, Definitions and Acronyms, provides a description of NAVFAC MAXIMO. Are Offerers expected to utilize the standardized Navy Maximo system and process in opening, closing, and tracking work orders for this effort?
Answer 5: No. NAVFAC MAXIMO will not be utilized on this contract. Refer to Amendment 0001 for revisions to the PWS which includes removal of the description and definition of NAVFAC MAXIMO from Attachment J-0200000-01, Definitions and Acronyms.

QUESTION 7: Reference Section M, Factor 3 Safety. Should EMR, DART, and TRC rates be provided in Factor 3 Safety Submission for “Key” subcontractors (those who are expected to perform 25% of the work)?
Answer 7: No. EMR, DART, and TRC rates shall not be submitted key subcontractors.
QUESTION 8: Reference Section M, Factor 5 Price. The proposal submittal requirements refer to Section B as having 12 CLINs, but the RFP provides 10 CLINs. If it’s not a typo then Section B is incomplete.

QUESTION 9: Reference Section J Exhibits A-E, ELINs A024, A039-A042, A068-A071, and A088- A090. Will the successful contractor for this RFP be able to utilize the Navy laboratory for testing services? If so, what are the costs, if any, for utilizing the US Navy laboratory services by analyses type?
Answer 9: No. Offerors shall assume the U.S. Navy laboratory is not available to provide services. The Contractor must have the capability to utilize accredited laboratories per Annex 0200000 Section C Spec Item 2.10.2.1 Sampling, Testing, and Laboratory Services.
QUESTION 10: Reference Section J Exhibits A-E. ELINs A059, A060, A139, and A140 are for the collection and transportation of used oil. ELINs A141-A144 are for proper recycling/disposal of used oil.
The unit of measure for these ELINs is in POUNDS. For example, A141 is for proper recycling/disposal of used oil at NBG site. Estimated quantity is 100,000 pounds. 100,000 pounds is less than 15,000 gallons. Should the unit of measure for these ELINs be gallons, not pounds?
