Ft. Bliss TX Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Management

Added: Nov 08, 2017 3:24 pm W911SG-17-R-0037-0010 is posted to revise W911SG-17-R-0037-009 amendment incorrect NTE funding of CLINS 0018 and 0019 and associated landfill option CLINS, for tipping fees and other associated landfill costs.

See attached W911SG-17-R-0037-0010 amendment and confirmed copy for further details.

Below are questions and answers provided from the posting of W911SG-17-R-0037-0008 and W911SG-17-R-0037-0009. No further questions will be taken.

Question #1:

CLIN 0018 has a NTE $26,520.00 per year, and CLIN 0019 has a NTE: $4,680.00 per year. From looking at the annual tonnage averages times the gate rate, this looks more like a "per month" total than an annual not to exceed. Please advise, and correct if needed.

Answer #1:
CLIN 0018 and CLIN 0019 and associated landfill CLINS had an incorrect NTE amounts for W911SG-17-R-0037-0009. Amendment W911SG-17-R-0037-0010 corrected the NTE amounts to yearly totals. See PWS Section 6.3 for further invoicing instructions.

Question # 2:
Please grant an extension past the 13th.

Answer #2:
The closing date remains 13 November 2017 at 12:01 am.

Question #3:
How will landfill costs be evaluated with the overall price comparison? Will contractor's only be evaluated on their total price with no landfill costs, or will there be a set total of landfill dollars added to each contractor's bid? It might be easier for the Government to pre-populate the price per ton so everyone is on the same playing field.

Answer #3
The vendor shall input the NTE exceed totals for CLIN 0018 and CLIN 0019 and for all associated landfill option CLINS. Historically, 85% of the MSW is picked up from Texas and 15% of the MSW is picked up from New Mexico.

Example:
CLIN 0018 Totals: $318,240.00
CLIN 0019 Totals: $56,160.00
CLIN 1017 Totals: $318,240.00
CLIN 1018 Totals: $56,160.00 and so forth.

Released W911SG-17-R-0037-0008  Ft. Bliss MSW is the changes due to amendment 0008.

Added: Aug 03, 2017 4:54 pm The following is questions and answers pertaining to the change of W911SG-17-R-0037-0005:

Question 1:
a. Will there be a revised pricing schedule? I noticed the POP changed and the Base Year is now 11 months. Will there be a revised pricing schedule for the Base Year reflecting the change in quantities since we lost a month?

b. Also, is there supposed to be a Phase Out CLIN? The new amendment specifies a Phase Out period, but it is not on the current Bid Schedule (CLIN 3017 says not used).

Answer 1:
a. There is not going to be a revised bid schedule. The period of time for the base period of eleven months did not change with W911SG-17-R-0037-0005. The base period before W911SG-17-R-0037-0005 was for a eleven month period too (see Paragraph B "To and From" of W911SG-17-R-0037-0005).

b. The phase out CLIN 3017 is removed due to there is no additional costs involved with the phase out period.

Question 2:
PWS 1.3.1 indicates from 10/16 to 5/17 only 32 containers were delivered to the ranges, and 10/15 to 9/16 only 53 containers were delivered to the ranges. Yet, CLIN 0008 has a quantity of 11,664 collections per year. This equates to the 53 containers that were delivered being serviced approx. 4 times per week. Please advise if the 30-50 containers from the ranges that are collected 11,664 times is accurate.

Answer 2:
The quantity for CLIN 0008 is accurate. the average container pick up for CLIN 0008 for the past three months is 948 containers.
