Questions and Answers

(as of 23 Jun 16)

1. Can the client provide maps of the two training sites and the staging areas?

Maps are not available to the public. This can be provided to the contractor after contract award. The Camp Johnson (CJ) training area is within approximately 1.5 miles from the contractor parking and staging area. The Camp Ethan Allen Training Site (CEATS) has numerous training events dispersed over five miles from contractor staging area. The staging area and role player parking will be separated by a couple miles. Contractor will need shuttle transportation for role players from parking to staging area.

The Government will provide transportation, with tactical vehicles, from role player staging area to each training event location.

There is approximately 15 miles between Camp Johnson and Camp Ethan Allen Training Site.

2. Is there running water (Taps, Faucets etc.) within one- two hundred feet of staging areas fir fresh water and/or water hookups?

There is no fresh running water within one to two hundred feet of staging area or for water hook-ups.

The Government will provide waste disposal dumpsters. The Government does recycling and the contractor shall comply with recycling requirements.

Port-o-lets and hand washing stations are sufficient. Showers are not required.

Facilities need to be open only during times that role players are on site or being provided. The contractor is only required to provide restroom facilities at their staging area. The Government will have port-o-lets available at each of the training location for general use.

9. Will a pump truck have access to the site?

I assume pump truck is for emptying the port-o-lets. If so, then yes.

10. Will a pump truck be able to service the restrooms/holding tanks during normal business hours or does this need to be done after hours?

Pump truck can service during normal business hours.

11. Task 1.2 Synchronization meeting states that the Contractor/site support team shall attend a synchronization meeting at both training sites on the morning of July 27th, 2016. Please define Contractor/site support team and who should be included in this visit.

The intent is to ensure synchronization amongst contributing contractors via a designated representative, the exercise controllers/evaluators and venue support teams (military member in charge). The contractor for Role Players is expected to send a designated representative to both of these meetings. This desired outcome is to be efficient in execution of the exercise, understanding the order of events and manage expectations for the next four training days. The Wide Area Destruction meeting (at CEATS, Jericho) will commence at 0800 in vicinity of the Walker Building (Range 3-1). The Structural Collapse Venue Site (SCVS) meeting will commence at 1100 in vicinity of the Collapsed Structure at Camp Johnson, Colchester.

12. Could the client bring potable water (water buffalo) to staging area for potable showers, unless they have running water.

Water buffalo’s are not available. As stated earlier, the Government does not require portable showers.
