RFI #2
1. When job is awarded will the contactor collect all 1200 LTO Tapes in the beginning of the contact or does the contactor collect that maximum amount through out the year.

2. It states delivery and pick up of 25 LTO tapes a week. Is that one scheduled trip a week or as needed?
(a) Our back-up team would work with the vendor to lay out how many tapes would be moved each week. As outlined in the PWS, the vendor would continue to pick up 92 LTO tapes (once) per week (PWS, para 4.1.2).
