TNARNG LSA RFP Questions – Due March 24 by 1000 EDT Question #

ANSWER-YES. All contractors must view the classes.

Will there be an estimate of gray water that needs to be removed, or a NTE number provided? There is a clear number for the Field Operations, but not for the LSA. ANSWER- Amount of Grey Water will be based off the amount of Fresh Water coming in.

How many different collection points are there being supplied by the government? Answer-Grey water blivets with a 2” coupler: there will be 5 on locations at the LSA

Can you specify the equipment that will require Grey water removal.

Will all points be accessible by a Semi Truck? Answer-YES

It was mentioned at the site visit that there would be a place on Fort Hood to dump both gray and black water. If this is so can you please provide the location? Answer- Contractor will be required to remove all grey water and black water off of Ft. Hood.

Can you please specify the exact # of 16 sinks units required at the LSA? ANSWER- 16 sink units will be changed to a sink per soldier ration of 1 sink to 25 soldiers.

Spreadsheet states emptied every other day, and PWS states everyday. Please clarify ANSWER-twenty yard, roll-on, roll-off type. Measurements would be 7’9” high by 8’ wide, by 22’ long.

Would a walk-through containerized 16-sink unit at the entrance door to the DFAC be an acceptable replacement for the 15 foot pump hand wash stations? Answer- hand washing stations at the DFAC instead of a containerized sink unit.

As with Reefers and Freezers, it states that the government is not responsible for damage to the generators-Answer. Will remove as you are correct.

At the site visit you mentioned the schedule has changed, but this section indicates 14 days for set up and 10 days for breakdown. Can you please provide the exact schedule for when the contract will be awarded, when the contractor will have access to the site, and when there will be boots on the ground? Are the previously provided headcounts by day for each area still accurate? Answer- The TNARNG will not have “ownership” of the LSA until 8 May due to Range Control Scheduling trainings in that area that were not expected. I sent spreadsheet of dates of services to all site visit attendees. (Andy Roberts with Deployed Resources was one of those emails that it was sent to). Cannot provide an exact date of award as the magnitude of this contract requires compliance review from NGB-OPARC Policy office, and state level cannot control how long this review will take. It’s the TNARNG’s hope to have award made by 24 April, however that still will not change the date the awarded vendor can access the LSA area, as ownership will not take place until 8 May. PWS will be updated and changed to reflect the 8 May ownership date. The 542nd FP unit will be there on 8 May to begin set up, and will need services IAW will submitted spreadsheet to begin on 11 May. Headcounts are still accurate, but may change and if they do will provide to you before proposal dates are due. Extension of proposal date is still be contemplated as we agree time is of essence.

Is it correct that the government will not be responsible for damage to the vans, even if the damage is caused by the government? Answer-this statement will be removed

14.

Will RFRs need to be moved once placed?

Are 20’ containers acceptable.

Do you have the locations for the 20’ freezer vans? Answer- Need 20’ Reefer vans for the 278th to be able to move out to the field with them. Need for them to be drivable. Please stage Reefer Freezer vans at LSA and 278th will stage and move once movement to field begins. Government will be responsible for refueling. No need for contractor to provide these services.

Where is the location of the water point? Answer- Bulk Water Points. FT Hood has 4 x Bulk Water Points. One is located on North Fort Hood on Park Street between 20th and 21st Street at Building 56560 (Grid PV23807090). A second Bulk Water Point is located on Turkey Run west of Clear Creek Rd in Building 44017 (Grid PV13404780). The third and fourth Bulk Water Points are located at Range Control on Black Gap Road at Buildings 56008 and 56099 (Grid PV21604685). Pins are required for access to the Bulk Water Points

Can you please specify the amount of square footage required for the feeding tent? Answer-15 square ft person person

Can you please specify the amount of square footage required for the briefing tents? Answer- 12 Square feet per person. However the main briefing tent that requires tables and chairs MUST be able to hold up to and sit 300 people max. (meaning cannot be split up in multiple tents)

Can you please confirm that the government will fuel all light towers in the LSA and in the field? Can you also confirm what type of fuel will be used to fuel them? Answer-Light sets in field will be refueled by the government. Diesel (JP8/F24) Ft. Hood fuel point only has F24 Diesel which contains and additive to keep fuel from freezing at cooler temps, but burns the same as JP8. Light sets in LSA will be refueled by contractor, but will be either provided a fuel card by the government or a government person will be there with a fuel card to access Ft. Hood fuel point.

Based on the site visit, can you confirm that no site improvements are required? There was no definitive answer given at the site visit, as the PWS indicates there would be. Answer- time for site improvements is an issue as it was expected before Ft. Hood scheduled LSA out to other units prior to XCTC Mission. May have to remove this from the requirements

In the event that there is not room in the LSA for the required square footage of tents, will some tents be placed outside of the berm surrounding the LSA? Answer-All room outside the berm will utilized by the 278th RSOI and cannot give up that space.
