BDU-33 Demil Range Cleanup Questions and Answers

Solicitation #: W50S6V24Q0020 www.SAM.gov

Q1. Please advise if the ANG is looking for labor / contract support to operate the demil equipment - the PWS mentions a Senior UXO Supervisor but the Line Items only seems to include the Mob/Demob of the Shears and Crusher as well as 3rd party QA.(i..e, there is not a line item for the actual clearance itself and/or demil of the BDU-33s)? If the ANG intends to provide the staff to clear and operate the demil plant, then how many days will be the plant be needed?

A1. ANG/Airburst Range is requiring labor and equipment to perform the demil operation (bdu shearing/crushing), the contractor must also provide a qualified SUXOS. We are not providing staff to clear or operate the demil plant.

Q2. The PWS (section 5.6.1and 5.6.2) references a per day mobilization / demobilization of the shears / crusher - does this mean that the equipment has to be removed from the installation on a daily basis?

A2. Equipment can remain on site during and after daily operation, Airburst Range is located on Ft Carson property and the resource holding area is fenced and secured. It is assumed that the operation will run daily (Mon-Sun) during daylight hours until complete.

Q3. The PWS does not include any details on the estimated quantity of BDU-33 requiring processing.

A3. Current estimate is 7,300 BDUs (92 tons), see attached pictures.

Q4. Does the scope include range clearance (i.e., gathering of the BDU-33s from the range(s)) or are the items stockpiled already? If range clearance is required, what size area is involved.

A4. Range clearance is not required. BDUs are all located in the range’s resource holding area and have either been cleared by EOD or demo’d.

Q5. The PWS (Section 3.5) references utilities available for the contractor's use. What electric power connections are available for use to operate the crusher and/or shear or does the ANG assume they will be gas powered portable equipment.

A5. The resource holding area is located a couple hundred yards from the nearest commercial power source, it is assumed the equipment is gas powered.
