Questions and Answers to W91238-16-Q-0004 Success Lake Trailer Removal

1. Our company thinks that it is unsafe to remove any of the trailers as units to be towed and/or trailered elsewhere on a public roadway as stated on the RFP so that we can perform the least amount of work “on-site”. Can the mobile-home trailers be demolished onsite and loaded into high-side covered end dumps and disposed of properly since this would be the safest and most efficient way to remove these units?

a. Per the PWS, onsite demolition should be minimal. The Government recognizes that some of the trailers are so derelict that they will not stay in one piece if picked up, but on-site demolition should be kept to a minimum.

2. Has the gov’t performed a hazardous survey on these mobile-home trailers or properties and all affected structures that are a part of this demolition SOW? If there are surveys, can we please have a copy so that we can price out the proper abatement that needs to be done prior to the demolition?

a. The Government has not performed a survey. This amendment added a requirement to the PWS for the Contractor to perform this survey and to provide the survey results to the Government.

3. Does the Government provide any documentation, i.e. Titles tax releases’, for disposal purposes?

a. The Government does not have clear titles on ALL the trailers, however USACE Office of Counsel and Contracting Officer have agreed that, along with the extensive passage of time and lack of habitation, the cashed relocation checks by the former residents constitute an executed contract with the Government and thus Government ownership. SPK has obtained the cleared checks for all relocations (i.e. all trailers)
