1. Are the pickups and drop offs primarily here in Ga?

Would we need to go out of state?

Section 1.1 Purpose of Procurement

All shipments will be in-state. We do not ship large orders across state lines.

2. What's an estimated distance for pickup and delivery? It's imperative for me to know to be able to quote how much to charge for the service per mile.

Section 4.1.1 Scope of Work;

Delivery locations can vary, but it can be assumed that any county in the state of Georgia could be a potential delivery location. The Georgia Department of Public Health services all 159 counties.

The 18 public health district offices are available online and can provide a small data set to work from for estimated distances from the Department’s Warehouse location in Kennesaw, GA.

3. Is it possible to know the locations where the services will be rendered? Some docks are tight for tractor and trailer and would like to be prepared with smaller vehicles.

Sections 1.1 Program Background and 4.1.1 Scope of Work; 4.1.2 Specific Contractor Responsibilities

The Department provides delivery location information when deliveries are scheduled.

Requests will denote special requirements such as liftgate requirement, no dock, location cannot accommodate tractor-trailers, temperature controlled, pallet jack needed, driver unload assistance required, courier van requested, etc.
