Iwakuni, Misawa, and Sagami, Japan Scrap Removal and Recycling

NOTE: Update #2 based on questions received. Price schedule and PPI Questionnaire have been updated. Due date was changed to 7 AUG 2024. See questions and answers below:

1. Past Performance Information (Document 10)

• The solicitation mentions a deadline of May 31, 2024, at 3:00 PM in the Past Performance Information (PPI) document. Since this solicitation appears to be for non-hazardous waste removal, is this deadline still applicable?
• Additionally, the PPI mentions "Hazardous Waste Removal, Transportation & Disposal services." Given the non-hazardous nature of the project, wouldn't this section be irrelevant? I would appreciate clarification on how to proceed regarding the PPI document.

PPI Questionnaire (Attachment 10) has been updated.

3. Calibration and Repair Costs for Measuring Instruments

The solicitation clarifies that calibration for the scale costs is included in the management fee. However, it's unclear who would be responsible for any adjustments, repairs, or replacements deemed necessary based on the calibration results. Could you please clarify how these potential costs would be handled?

The Contractor is only required to complete an annual calibration for the scales.  If the scales require repairs DLA will write a separate contract for the repairs.

4. Categorization and Indexing in the Excel Sheet

For clarification on the Excel sheet related to Category 1 items, I would appreciate confirmation on the following category and index pairings:

• Iron (0E1L): (2011)
• Copper Wire (D4C): (2007)
• Copper (D4D): (2008)
• Brass and/or Bronze (D4F): (2009)
• Aluminum (D1D): (2016)

Additionally, the categorization for Aluminum (D1E) is unclear:

• Iwakuni is Category 2
• Sagami is Category 1

Could you please confirm these categorizations? Furthermore, the sheet seems to be missing OH08SA for Sagami. Is this intentional or an oversight?

Please see the SCL tab for clarification on the above E1L, D4C, D4D, D4F and D1D.

Iwakuni is Category 1 and adjustments have been made to the Price Schedule.

It was an oversight leaving 0H08SA, 1H08SA and 2H08SA CLINS off the price Schedule.
