Laundry Service Q & A Sheet Q1. Do they need a specific color shop towel?

A1. Section 1.1.1.2 of the PWS has been updated: “Shop towels shall be of a high contrast color, not matching concrete or dirt, easily distinguishable, preferably RED, measure approximately 18” x 18”, and be 100% cotton.”

Q2. What does extended amount mean? Weekly yearly?

A2. Yearly cost.

Q3. Quantities come in bundles of 50 for shop towels and 25 for terry towels.

A3. Vendors are required to provide the minimum inventory quantities and restock as necessary per the PWS requirements. Providing a slight excess of items as customarily handled in a commercial contract or agreement is allowed, provided the quantities are reasonable for the given line item.

Q4. Loss damage charges are done by a % based on usage, not by the #12 they have listed A4. Quantity of 12 not separately jobs are placeholder line items, intended to be funded as needed for any lost items for a given period of performance. Vendors should propose their pricing for lost items as customarily handled in a commercial contract or agreement.

Q5. We will have a delivery charge per location, where do I put that?

A5. Pricing should be rolled up into the unit price for a given line-item. Note: Delivery addresses are internal to Morris Air National Guard Base, Tucson. The stops will be fairly close in proximity.

Q6. Who is currently working on this installation/previous incumbent?

A6. This information may be requested via an official Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.

Q7. What does the "52 Job" stand for? Is that 52 weeks? Or is that one price for the entire year? Should the unit price be multiplied by the 52 to equal the extended cost?

A7. Yes, the line-item structure is intended to facilitate pricing per week of service. Which in turn allows for weekly or multiple weeks of invoices to be submitted per the vendor’s standard practices.

Q8. What does the "12 NSP" stand for? Also, instead of having a separate line item for the lost item fees, etc., most quotes include that service. Is it ok to just include the all-inclusive price on the "Job" item line and cross out the line item for "Lost items Fee"?

A8. NSP stands for Not Separately Priced. See item 4 above.
