"Informational Note: The Government has found on previous contracts that solid waste and recyclable collection at the frequencies listed in J-1503030-04 has maintained services at an acceptable level."

Our observation and experience, including solid waste and recycling operations for many Naval installations, conveys to us that the frequencies listed are significantly overstated. We are certain that these frequencies would maintain an acceptable level of service but not take into consideration the stated Performance Standard here: "Pickups are scheduled at the minimum number that will prevent waste container overflow." 85 of 118 Front End Load 8 cubic yard containers are scheduled for service every day Monday through Friday. 72% of all front load containers scheduled daily is highly unusual. The number of roll off containers that are scheduled multiple days per week is also far from the norm compared to our experience on multiple Naval Installations, including heavy production repair facilities and other submarine basses.

We understand that after award the front load (8CY) container collection schedules can be adjusted to frequencies that will ensure pickups are scheduled at the minimum that will prevent container overflow. Would the Government please confirm that roll off container (20CY, 30CY & 40CY) service standard is also as required at the minimum number that will prevent waste container overflow, even if the historic frequency in J-1503030-04 shows 5 days per week?

The Government confirms that the frequencies are as stated in Section J, Attachment J-1503030-04.

Please explain what unit pricing will be used to make up the service call price?

An extra front load container service has a different cost from say a roll off service or special event service or foreign waste service, yet there is only one line item A001AJ for a service call.

Should there not be unit pricing for the various types of service that may be included in a ISWM Service Call?

The Government does not provide the unit pricing for service orders.

This is a performance-based requirement. Offerors are responsible for providing a price for ISWM service orders in their proposal, utilizing the information provided to perform their own risk assessment. For each ISWM service order, the contractor has full responsibility for all work up to the limit of liability identified in Section C, Annex 1503030, Spec Item 3.7 (updated to Spec Item 3.6 in Amendment 0006) of $1,000 in total cost per service order.

We are trying to ascertain what services (8CY, roll off, foreign waste, resdential etc.) are ordered and whether a service call is for multiple containers and or collections, so that we can price this ELIN properly.

Examples of ISWM service orders include: "Relocate roll-of dumpster from near transformer"; "Place a 20 yard solid waste dumpster in the southeast corner of esb parking lot for disposal of old equipment";

"Place 2 40 yard refuse containers at building 5009"; and "Place a 20 yard roll-off dumpster at back door of building 1052 at first parking space".

Currently, single stream recycling commodities (paper, plastic, aluminum) are collected out of the 55 GAL containers and cardboard from the Cardboard Bins. Once collected they are transported and taken to a recycling processing location (over 2.5 hours round trip) where they are sorted and shipped out by type/commodity. Most loads of these commodities are often HIGHLY contaminated with trash and soiled commodities mixed in with recyclable commodities. This leads the facility to charge an enormous processing fee, per load/by ton, whether or not its clean.
