Solicitation Number W912D0-21-Q-0169

Request for Information (RFI) (18 Nov 2020)

Q1: I have a question about the Combined Synopsis/Solicitation posted under solicitation number W912D021Q0169. I am hoping to find out if there is an incumbent contractor currently performing these services, if similar services have been performed in the past, or if this is a new requirement. If this is a follow-on requirement, could you please provide the previous contract or task order number?

A1: This service is currently being provided under Contract number W912D0-16-D-0003 and the Contractor that is performing is VETERAN ABILITY, LLC. The current task order number is W912D0-20-F- 0057.

Q2: Is the site visit mandatory? During each snow event that requires snow and ice removal, are we required to put salt down as well on the sidewalks?

A2: The site visit is not mandatory. You are not required to put salt down but in accordance with (IAW) the PWS 5.1.2 “All sidewalks shall remain clear of ice to 36" width and from sidewalk edge to sidewalk edge (curb/gutter/edge) to include between head bolt/light poles." However you can accomplish this is up to the Contractor as long as “COR shall approve the use of ice melting chemicals or products used at the Child Care Facilities. Contractor shall follow manufacture recommendations in order to prevent damage to concrete sidewalks and lawns.”
