Q7. Under "Laundry Schedule" on page 4, it does not actually state the schedule for each location. Can you please provide each location's schedule that will be needed to pick up and/or drop off the laundry?

A7. There is no set schedule. Contractor will be contacted when pick-up is required.

A8. You must submit the unit price for each piece and calculate the net price based on the quantity.

Q10. Section 1.3 States that contractors must also submit invoices to the SAI Central High School JROTC. Will this be in addition to invoicing through WAWF?

A10. Yes

Q11. Section 1.4 it states that the contractor is given 10 business days to clean/return approximately 600 uniforms. This is where we need clarification as to the 600 quantity. Will 600 uniforms be yearly or per week?

A11. Annually

Q12. Section 5.2.1 states that all delivered items must have an individual itemized price list on them upon being returned to each school. Is this an absolute requirement or can we solely proceed with just invoicing through WAWF and/or invoicing the schools directly?

A12. Delivered items must have individual itemized price list upon them being returned to each school to ensure the quantities picked up are the quantities delivered and to ensure the budgeted amount for each school is not exceeded. Itemized price list will also be used to validate accuracy of WAWF submission for payment. WAWF submission is required for payment.

Q13. Section 5.2.12 States that the contractor is prohibited from returning more than 100 pieces at one time per week. It conflicts with the quantity that was an estimate of 600 pieces in section 1.4 (see question #9). Can you please confirm the quantity allowed to be dropped off per each scheduled day?

A13. Max quantity for drop off is 100 items per school per week.
