Because the service is for the entire installation and LORA, there will not be a formal site visit. However, vendors can get a visitor pass for FLW and come get a look around on their own to get a better idea of the size and scope of the request.

If the commodities that are collected and recycled cost the contractor money to process or ultimately dispose of does the Government or the Contractor pay for those costs?

Does the contractor need any specialized equipment for the operation of this area or does the Government handle the material that is brought on site on its own?

Would the Government please provide pictures of the area since there is not a site visit?

Attach 1/Sec 7/0 FLW E Waste Recycling:

Does this mean that that contractor has to add/deduct containers at no cost when new buildings are added, at any service level/frequency, including roll-offs?

Or is this written specifically this was so that the contractor provides unscheduled/relocations/extra pickups etc at no additional cost? This item addresses adjustments to locations and frequencies contained in TE 4. As occupancy changes, the contractor will accommodate increases or decreases in locations and frequencies within 15% of the total at the start of the contract period.

Unscheduled pick ups are covered separately under paragraph 2.7.4 and 2.7.5.

Attach 1 / 6.4 Spring and Fall cleanup.

What type of materials are being generated?

If its yard debris, is the contractor responsible for the raking of leaves?

Will the Government please define how to calculate this response?

In the absence of a site visit, contractors have no information on which to base an estimate on repair cost exposure.

There appears to be a conflict between these two sections, 4.3.1.2 says to receive and separate and 4.3.2 says not to separate.

Could the Government please clarify this? 4.3.2 is intended to keep refuse material outside the Recycle Center. Any mix of refuse and recyclables should be handled outside the Recycle Center.

4.3.1.2 is concerned with the sort/separate of recyclables only

11. PWS Attch. 1., 4.3.5 “Non-recoverable items: Items erroneously delivered to the Recycling Center that cannot be processed shall be separated and disposed of in a lawful manner at the Contractor's expense.”

Will the Government please confirm our understanding that the Contractor may refuse to accept material at the Recycle center if it is not recoverable/processable? Confirmed - a separate contract is in place with the local transfer station to receive refuse directly from units/occupants at their responsibility.

If the material is not recycable, reusable, or recoverable, then it is trash and should be put in a dumpster and processed as trash waste would be processed.

12. PWS Attch. 1., Our understanding is that if an oil spill is caused by the Contractor, then, the contractor is responsible for cleanup. If spill is caused by any third party, the Contractor is not responsible for the cost of cleanup.

If not please respond with an accurate list.
