Yes, the contractor is responsible for turning in ALL weight tickets for all types of dumpsters/compactors serviced.

9 Annex E, 2.3.1 Co-Mingled Recyclables - Fort Bragg is to begin co-mingling recyclables, which means all recyclable materials will be put into the same container for dumping. (Question 1) Will the Government please provide specifications for co-mingling program as there are no specifications listed in TE 5? (Question2) Co-mingling “all recyclable materials” including the woody debris, wood pallets and Electronics with the cardboard, plastics, paper and aluminum/tin cans may make the material un-recyclable. Will the government please consider only co-mingling the cardboard, plastics, paper and aluminum/tin cans, rather than “all recyclable materials” defined in section 2.1 Scope? Co-mingling is defined as plastics, paper, aluminum/tin cans, and cardboard. Woody debris and wood pallets are not considered co-mingled and are a by request service by units thru COR to direct a separate container. Currently this this includes cardboard containers, but will eventually include plastic bottles, cans, paper.

10 Annex E, 2.3.1.1 Cardboard/Co-mingled recyclables - The Contractor shall collect cardboard from troop barracks and other building residents receiving furniture and other items, including cardboard left by Contractor (Question1) Will these materials be placed in a container for collection or are they to be collected loose from outside the buildings?

However, if a tire(s) is found in the MSW while at the Contractor’s disposal site, the Contractor shall notify the COR and Contracting Officer. The COR and Contracting Officer will submit a request to the contracting officer via email correspondence to ensure the removal is logged and documented. Once approval from either the COR or Contracting Officer, the contractor shall secure and dispose of the tire(s) at the rate specified on the bid schedule for transportation and disposal of tires. The Contractor shall separate any tires found with rims and dispose the rim as recyclable metal. The contractor shall submit an invoice under CLIN X0009 Transportation and Disposal of Tires, (X indicated the contract year), to ensure payment is received (Question 1) Will the Government please alter this description for tire disposal payment? It is a regular, normal occurrence for tires to be placed in Front End Load (8yd) containers. The servicing of these containers does not permit the driver to view the contents of the container; therefore, tires would most likely be identified at the disposal location. At that point the contractor would be charged the applicable tire disposal fee without the time to “notify” the COR for disposal approval. The Contractor would be able to provide documentation for the government. Tires are collected at the Fort Bragg landfill in a trailer which will be transported by the contractor to the off post site. In the case where a tire is found either during pick up or after dumping at the disposal site that may have come from an 8cy dumpster the contractor will take appropriate action to dispose and ensure the COR is notified and provided the appropriate weight ticket.

(Question 2) CLIN X0009 is not for the transportation and disposal of tires, please correct. CLIN 0009 and all outlying CLINs have been removed. CLIN 0010 and corresponding CLINS are identified for transportation and disposal of tires.

12 Annex E, 2.3.1.3, Hazardous Items - Items such as refrigerators, freezers, and window air conditioner units may contain chlorofluorocarbon (CFC). Items containing CFCs shall be coordinated with the COR. Will the Government please specify if the refrigerant removal will be the financial responsibility of the Government or the Contractor?

These special wastes should not be transported once detected because they are subject to restrictions governing hazardous waste, such as a hazmat indorse commercial driver’s license, labeling, and placarding." This will be a government responsibilty, contractor is not to transport or dispose.

13 Annex E, 2.4.2.1 and 2.4.1.1 - Changes, either increases or decreases, exceeding 20% of the total number of containers or collections may require negotiation to adjust the contract price, as necessary to compensate for the changes. Will the Government please reduce the “changes” percentage to 10%? The cost fluctuation on such a large workload will require the small business to assume that significant capital expense may be incurred with no option to cover the expense. No, the Government will keep the 20%; however, the contractor is allowed to submit a Request for Equitable adjustment should the contractor find that there is a significant capital expense for the increase.

14 Annex E 2.4.2.4 - Contractor provided refuse containers shall be ordered from bid schedule. We could not find a CLIN to price for the Contractor provided refuse containers, is this a bid item or will Contractor provide pricing as and when the Government requests additional/replacement containers?

Governemt will reimburse for all replacement items for both compactors and containers, labor is all inclusive.

17 Section B CLIN X0005 Section B CLIN X0005 states a quantity of 400 units, though Annex E, Para 2.6 lists a quantity of 2000. Will the Government please clarify quantity? Quantity is 2,000, Annex E has been corrected to read 2,000.

18 Section B CLIN X0006 CLIN X0006 Special Collection II (42-cubic yards) restricts this CLIN to 42 CY container services, however, Annex A, Para 7.4.4.4 list other size roll off containers (30 & 20 CY).

20 Specifications - call for only 319 Front End Load, 8yd Cardboard container services per week. The specifications call for only 319 Front End Load, 8yd Cardboard container services per week. This workload does not efficiently require an exclusive FEL vehicle. Will the Government please eliminate the need for an exclusive FEL vehicle for this work? It is typically common practice to have a designated FEL for cardboard so not to contaminate the cardboard unless the contractor plans on washing out the truck which is also used for trash prior to servicing cardboard containers. See Annex E Section 2.3 Recycle Support.

21 CLIN X0008 - is for a monthly charge for Compactor maintenance not replacement cost reimbursement, please clarify? Is for a monthly charge for Compactor maintenance not replacement cost reimbursement, please clarify? CLIN 0008 has been identified as a - Item Replacement ODC.

The implementation of these programs may reduce the estimated annual total tonnage of MSW. Is there any incentive to the contractor certain goal is met from recycling? Also can contract sell for profits any recycled materials? Yes, the incentive is for the contractor to promote the recycling program, as the contractor will receive all proceeds from the recycle program.

69 Percentage Rule (%) With a contract of this size and scope, will the government consider lowering the +/- 20% rule to 5%? Industry and pervious solicitations currently uses 5%. 20% of this requirement exposes substantial high risk and can be detrimental to the success of this contract. See response to Question 13 above.

70 Landfill Is the Landfill cost part of the current contracts or is a pass through item of each? Landfill cost is part of the current contract. It is not passed through each item

85 Containers There are 1,200 containers allocated on the contract that are provided by the government. Per the site visit we were informed that government just purchased 150 new containers. The remaining 1,050 containers we have seen most of the containers are in horrible condition. Will government provide a CLIN line item on this contact during the base year for bringing and fixing these containers in a usable condition. These should fall under pre-exiting condition of the existing contract. The Government is providing an ODC CLINS to provide for the reimbursment of parts for small repairs like lids, plugs, doors and some welding. If the container is more than 60% of replacement cost (i.e. bottom falls out) than the COR is notified for replacement

86 Repair Historically What is the total repair of each container a government is willing to pay before replacing it with a new one? Based on what we have seen during the site visit majority of them needs to be replaced. With the deferred maintenance the cost-effective solution for the government is to replace all. Life of these containers have exhausted and its worth for the government to replace then to do a temporary fix. 60% of the containers needs major repairs. The Government is providing an ODC CLINS to provide parts for small repairs like lids, plugs, doors and some welding. If the container is more than 60% of replacement cost (i.e. bottom falls out) than the COR is notified for replacement
