Q: Container Quantities: I noticed that the required container quantities have increased compared to the previous award. Could you provide specifics on how many containers will be designated for each address?

A: Container quantities were decreased from 240 to 195. WBAMC requires the larger containers as the original 32-gallon containers would get filled within a week. Larger containers allow for fewer quantity containers per department. Factors leading to increased container quantity is the addition of outlying clinics or inpatient clinics within the hospital. No further increase to quantity is anticipated.

Q: Exhibit A and Exhibit F: The Performance Work Statement references (Exhibit A) and Exhibit-F for details of addresses or photos linked to this requirement. However, these exhibits seem to be missing from the provided documentation. Could you kindly provide these exhibits or the relevant details?

Q: Renewal Option Conditions: For the option years, are there any specific conditions or performance metrics that the contractor needs to meet for the renewal options to be exercised?

Q: Could you specify the number of drives involved?

A: WBAMC request up to 300 HD per month.
