5.4.1 – Weighing. Manually typed weight ticket s will not be accepted. I am confused as to how we are expected to get individual weights on each shipment when these shipments are done in bulk per truck. It is unknown which size crate is going to be used until we get to residence. So say we have 2 standard crates, 2 – ½ crates and 2 – ¼ crates loaded on our truck, which we load based on our phone surveys with each shipper. We do not know which of these crates will be used for each shipment until we get to residence and see exactly what is being packed. So how do we get a computerized light weight for a shipment if we do not know what crate is being used until we arrive?

Answer - When the pre-move survey is done, you should be able to determine the crate size. If there is an issue and the crate is the wrong size 5.5.7 and 5.7.1.6 can be approved. No changes to the PWS.

Which verbiage do I use when figuring my pricing: Do I go from the Performance Work Statement or the Detailed Pricing sheets? There are differences on some of them.

Here is one example of the difference in the two: Overflow Articles: 5.9.9.2 Overflow Containers – shall be limited to one per shipment. Detailed pricing sheet states – one or more of these containers may be required per shipment. Which am I using to determine my prices?? This will make a difference in how we price as to which one we are using.

Answer – The verbiage in the Detailed Pricing Schedule has been updated to match the PWS.

Why is there no Detailed Pricing for Schedule 0?

Answer - Reference 5.4.9. which states The pricing for Schedule 0 shall be the same as Schedule III.

Although the tasks are identical, each Schedule is funded from a separate account classification. Schedule 0 has been added to the Detailed Pricing Schedule.
