This document contains a request for information and response related to a federal contract solicitation for unidirectional flushing services. The solicitation is for a contractor to execute the Army's unidirectional flushing program at Edgewood Containment, which includes locating, inspecting, and assessing distribution system valves and hydrants, recording water flowed, and creating a deliverable GIS dataset. The contractor must provide their own tools and vehicles to complete the work. Minor repairs to valves and hydrants may be required and would be repaired or replaced by the contractor as directed by the government. The final report is due within 30 days of project completion, and weekly reports on work performed must be delivered each Monday morning. This requirement has been removed from the solicitation.

Request for Information (RFI)

1. Per the solicitation, “Contractor shall have a certified water distribution license through Maryland Department of Environment.”

However, the Department of Public Works (DPW South) is the Operator (Water Purveyor) of the public water system at Edgewood Containment.

The DPW is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the public water system and ensuring the water system is complaint with the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), as written on MDE Water Distribution System Operators Webpage.

The Department of Public Works shall be the holder of the MDE Water Distribution License as the owner of the Water Distribution system. The DPW licensed operator is to ensure the contractor is following MDE & SDWA Standards.

Once the Contract is awarded, the Contractor can apply for OPERATOR IN TRAINING (TEMPORARY) CERTIFICATE, in which the DPW Licensed Water Operator in charge will need to verify & Sign. (See Below).

OPERATOR IN CHARGE Note: Comar 26.06.01.06 requires that a temporary certificate holder work under the direction of a holder of a superintendent or operator certificate.

Please clarify if the contractor is to currently hold the license, and/or if the awarded contractor is to apply for the license & work under DPW authority?
