Answer:

a. Contract Number: W15QKN-14-C-1015

4. Ref PWS 5.3.1, Space Cleaning, 5.3.1.3 Empting waste containers. This section states the following: “All waste containers shall be emptied and plastic liners replaced. Any plastic liner with food waste or that is soiled or leaking shall be replaced with a new plastic line.” These requirements as stated appear to conflict.

The first requirement is that plastic liners for ALL waste containers will be replaced every time. However, the second sentence appears to indicate that the liner shall only be required to be replaced if it has “…food waste or that is soiled or leaking…” Please clarify.

Answer: Response forthcoming

5. Is weekly service once per week or five days per week?

Answer: Weekly services means once per week. Please refer to PWS paragraph 2.7.5.
