Questions 5

S.O.W.

Pg 5, 4.1 B Pg7, 4.2.2B Pg. 8, 4.2.5B

The container specifications state “ALL”

The concern with these definitions is that all roll off containers ( not just the scrap) would come with a lid or tarp system. The contractor is only responsible for loading the steel consolidation 20 yd. container that are about 4 ½ feet tall and should be covered. NASA employees or contractors would be required to open and close the lid or traps on all other containers many of which are at 6 ½ feet and 8 feet height for 30 & 40 yd. These heights especially when there is snow fall make the opening and closing of the containers extremely difficult. The cross bars that are needed to hold the tarp up also present a challenging to loading large items.
