****************************************Q&As*******************************************************
Q - Will there be a site visit for this solicitation? Or do you have any photos of the tanks that need to be cleaned and repaired? With the 45 day performance period, the chemicals used for cleaning usually require a 3 week process so it would be best to know what we are working with.
A - Site visit is scheduled.
Q - We would like to kindly ask if a site visit or walkthrough can be arranged prior to submission. Given the nature of the work—particularly the fuel system diagnostics and tank inspection—a site visit would help ensure an accurate and informed proposal.
