1) The PWS outlines Equipment/Cookware/Utensil Cleaning, Garbage and Trash/Housekeeping/Ground Maintenance and Attachments 1-3 but want to clarify if any of the below services are required. Essentially when we have catering anything food related, preparing, serving or replenishing is the responsibility of the catering company:

a) How does caterer deliver food in their company pans or are meals placed by caterer in to go boxes? For hot meals the caterer should be using all of their own pans to deliver and serve the food, in the event the caterer uses any of our serving pans it becomes their responsibility to clean and sanitize the pans they use. For cold meals or “to go” box lunches the caterer provides everything including the container for the meal.

b) Do KP's prep salad bar during caterer meals or does caterer provide salad items? The KP’s do not prepare or refill any salad bar items during reduced service, this is entirely the responsibility of the caterer to provide all salad bar foods and setup and replenish the salad bar.

c) Are military trays, cups, cutlery used for catered meals or does caterer provide disposables? Currently military trays, cups and cutlery are used for catered meals, if we changed this it would add a fairly substantial cost to the catering.

d) Do KP's serve catered meals? The KP’s do not perform any serving during reduced service, this is done entirely by the caterer

e) Do KP's set up milk/juice dispensers or does caterer bring their own drinks? The KP’s do not set up any beverage stations during reduces service as it is the responsibility of the caterer to provide all beverages.

f) Is a short order line set up or only one Main Line? During reduced service we only serve off the mainline and again all serving is done by the caterer.

2) Is the onsite contract Manager included in the number of staff specified in the Solicitation?

We have not specified an exact number of staff to be provided for this contract. Please include the onsite supervisor in your final proposal amount and staff.

3) What is the occupation code (SCA) or Government equivalent for the positions?

Please use the SCA wage determination occupation codes from 07000 – Food preparation and service occupations. Ensure you use the most current Wage Determination No: 2015-4900, Rev 11, 12/23/2019

4) Is there an incumbent? If so, what is the contract # and full KP daily cost?

W912J2-18-P-5013; $1820.30 per day (shown on contract). The PWS has changed since this contract, therefore the price may not represent an accurate amount based on the work and number of employees needed to accomplish these tasks.
