3. According to the ELIN Pricing Schedule, ELIN A005, the contractor has to clean 6 pump sumps located inside the Hazardous Material Storage Areas at Grafenwoehr Tower Barracks, Field Camps, and Ranges, twice a year. Will these 6 pump sumps be the same at every service or will they vary from service to service? Where are these 6 pump sumps located?

A: The 6 pump sumps will vary from service to service; the contractor will receive a list with filled sumps that have to be cleaned.

4. According to section 5.2.3 of the subject solicitation, the contractor shall clean metal grids and secondary containments of HWAP's from various substances, mainly residues of oil and lubricants, with a steam cleaner. What will happen with the contaminated liquids resulting from steam cleaning?

A: The contaminated liquids resulting from steam cleaning have to be collected in appropriate containers (e.g. IBCs); they are NOT supposed to be drained down into the waste oil underground storage tanks. Depending on the content, the contractor has to transport the liquids to either the centralized oil/water separator (liquid: mostly water, minor amount of oil/fuel) or to the centralized waste collection point at the former Sanitary Landfill (liquid: mostly oil/sludges) and empty the containers there. The further disposal of oil/sludges is covered by another contract and not part of this service contract.
