Q&A

Questions and Answers:

Q1: Based on the statement "The Government requires to provide the brand of the bottled water offered and indicates that the brand Crystal Springs will not be an accepted brand." My question is what brand of Spring water is the Government requiring. Because it only indicates that Crystal Springs will not be acceptable.

A: Any brand other than Crystal Spring is acceptable.

Q2: Item Number: CLIN 0001 - CLIN 5005 - Revision : The item size 1,100 has been added.

A: Don’t worry about this size 1,100. It is related to the size standards 1,100 under the NAICS code 312112 but is not going to affect your pricing.

Q3: Where do we place our pricing? on the solicitation or on the Technical Exhibit or Both?

A: Please, fill both. The original solicitation is broken down per year, while the technical exhibit – price list is combined the 5 year + 6 month extension. Please make sure the total amount of the solicitation and the total amount in the technical exhibit – price list are matching; you will have to sum the unit amount listed in the solicitation including the price escalation adjustments per year and include the average price in the price list.

Q4: 1. Is it possible to separate line item 0005 into 2-two seperate categories due to their occurrence at different points of delivery, and quantity of lost bottle category may exceed 300.

A. Cost deposit on each initial bottle delivered. (Happens automatically at point of delivery) And will cover more than 300 bottles in 12 months cycle.

B. Cost for each bottle lost (Happens only if at pick up empty bottles are noted lost. Which may or may occur.)

In the event it does it may be more than 300 during 12 months cycle.

A: The quantities are correct and should not be exceeding 570 bottles lost during the 5.5 years cycle. When invoicing, the costs should be included per the overall locations and not invoicing each single location.

Q5: What brand of bottled water are you offering? Deer Park/Nestle’s Blue Triton Water Brands.

A: Any apart from Crystal Springs, is acceptable.

Q6: Since you are adding another option year for a total of 5 instead of 4 with the 6-month extension, will you also be adding Far 13.5?

We would be using Deerpark or Purelife water and would extend our 4th-year option price to be the same as our 5th year and leave all other clin options, including the 6 months, the same. The additional 5th-year option without FAR 13.5 could create price issues otherwise.

A: We are not asking for a specific brand, only advising that the brand Crystal Spring will not be acceptable due a poor past performance. In addition, FAR 13.5 is not a clause, for this reason, the Government cannot include a FAR Part as a Clause.

Q7: Is the exclusion of Crystal Springs as an accepted brand based on service-related concerns or water quality issues?

A: The exclusion is due a service-related concerns.

The following have been modified:
