W91QF4-26-Q-A030 Hauling and Disposal of Lead-Impacted Soil Questions and Answers

1. The SOO requires the Hauler to provide three medium-capacity dump trucks “for the duration,” while the period of performance is September 30, 2026, through December 1, 2026. Does “for the duration” mean only the active hauling operation, or must three trucks be continuously committed or available throughout the full period of performance?

RESPONSE: Trucks only need to be available during this hauling operation. We don’t expect it to last more than a week or two; depending on weather.

2. Is the stated 250 tons / 200 cubic yards a guaranteed quantity or an estimate? If actual quantity or disposal weight materially differs from that amount, what adjustment, if any, is available under CLIN 0001’s firm-fixed-price “1 Job” structure?

RESPONSE: It is an (over) estimate. The contractor will need to contact Johnson County to get quoted disposal fees for this waste.

3. The SOO states that the Government will keep the soil moist until loading, while landfill tipping charges are determined by scale weight. Under the firm-fixed-price CLIN, how will weight above the stated 250 tons be handled if it results from Government-controlled moisture? Must the offeror include all such risk in its fixed price?

RESPONSE: Clause 52.236-2 will be added to the solicitation whereby if the amount exceeds the estimated the contractor would be entitled to an equitable adjustment if the final haul amounts are validated.

4. Please confirm the required quote-submission email address or other method, along with any applicable file-format, size, or page-limit requirements.
