REGIONAL HAZARDOUS WASTE DISPOSAL CONTRACT FOR COLUMBUS, CAMPBELL, KNOXVILLE

SP450024R0004

AMENDMENT 2

1. The subject solicita�on is lacking sufficient informa�on to make remotely reasonable assump�ons when trying to price many of the items listed in the scope of work. While we (all bidders) realize that it is reasonable to assume that many of the generators will generate much of the same waste streams u�lizing many of the same CLINs, we need more specific informa�on for generator specific requirements such as (Bulk Removals, Roll-off Placement, Supplies Services, Management Services, and Industrial Cleaning Services) where specialized equipment is required. We need this informa�on to allow the subcontractors provide reasonably accurate price quotes. The first ques�ons I get from a vendor is: Where is the loca�on? Where does a Roll-Off or Vac box go? What waste stream goes into it so that we know what the disposal loca�on is? Where do we an�cipate delivering supplies (various containers), and what are the an�cipated volumes? Who is ordering this Industrial Services? Pricing work for these services is very difficult and given the very large geographical area, it would likely require mul�ple Vendors to get reasonable price quotes. How can you calculate cost without having this viable informa�on?

For Kentucky and Tennessee, we have only done 2 roll offs during this last contract at Fort Knox, and it was for non-Haz soil. Fort Campbell has never requested roll offs. We do Bulk Removals once a year of non-Haz soil.

Fort Campbell is the only loca�on that we use Industrial Cleaning Services at and that is roughly 5 tanks a year. That requires a pump truck and pressure washer of the tanks which some are considered confined space.

Fort Knox uses DLA for all their sampling, but we usually do this in conjunc�on with removals.

We have done 2 samples at other loca�ons in the last 3 years and that was at other sites.

Fort Knox orders containers from DLA and has them delivered to their loca�on. I have a generator that covers the Na�onal Guard loca�ons in KY & TN. They have ordered containers for their sites and have them delivered during a Milk Run to the site at the same �me as the removal.

2. Is there any possibility that you could extend this solicita�on due date for maybe a couple of weeks? This is just a tremendous amount of work to be done in such a short �me frame. I am struggling to get responses from many of the vendors that I’m coun�ng on for services.

The solicita�on will be extended through 03/22/2024 at 1300 Eastern Standard Time.
