Amendment 2 - Questions & Answers and extends the closing date to Aug 17, 2025
Q: Given the large number of waste generation locations, does the base consolidate waste at a central location prior to removal, or is the contractor required to service multiple generation sites throughout the base?
A: There is no centralized consolidation location. The current contractor services 64 areas, with seven to nine individual sites within each area.
Q: When the contractor visits each generator's site, how much time is required to complete container removal for a single task order?
A: Container pickup typically requires 6-7 hours per day and spans the entire work week (Monday through Friday) to complete waste shipment.
Q: What equipment and personnel resources are required to complete container pickup operations?
A: Operations typically require a three-person team consisting of one project manager, one technician, and one driver.
Q: What are the distances between pickup locations?
A: Travel times vary significantly based on location: northern area and Area 22 require up to 30 minutes of travel time, while Delmar area and main side locations require 20-25 minutes. These times may vary due to driving conditions, traffic, holiday schedules, and weather.
Q: Do bulk liquid task orders require pickups from multiple locations with similar logistical requirements (stops, manpower, etc.)?
A: Currently, seven locations require bulk pumping services.
Q: What locations on the base are available for waste consolidation?
A: No consolidation locations are currently available.
Q: Can identical waste streams from multiple pickup locations be consolidated to reduce the total volume of containers requiring removal?
A: Consolidation of similar waste streams is not currently available.
Q: How many roll-off bins are typically maintained on-site? (Documentation suggests 30+)
A: Correct, 30+ roll-off bins are maintained on-site.
Q: Under the bin rental CLINs, is the contractor required to provide an empty bin when removing a full bin?
A: Yes, empty bin replacement is required upon full bin removal. See PWS section 3.2 (paragraphs b-l)
Q: Is the contractor compensated per delivery/removal, or are delivery/removal services included in the weekly/monthly rental fee?
A: Continuous accessibility, for purposes of this Section, shall mean that when a loaded ROB is removed for disposal, an empty lined replacement container shall be simultaneously placed at the same proximal location as the initial placement. Removal of waste in the ROB will be ordered using the appropriate disposal CLIN. Such removal and simultaneous replacement with an empty lined ROB do not affect the termination date of the rental period unless and until the final removal has been ordered, at which time the billable rental period is terminated. See PWS section 3.2 (paragraphs b-l)
Q: The contractor is responsible for supplying defoamer for AFFF pumping. Can you estimate the defoamer quantity required per pickup?
A: Approximately 5-15 gallons of defoamer are required per pickup.
Q: Is any of this information available or are there any manifests with the actual facility profile so I can get pricing?
A: This contact will support multiple generators; each generator may turn in a waste stream using any given CLIN on the contact if their waste meets the parameters of the selected CLINs description. Please note, each generator will have a unique profile or SDS, “for pricing purposes” please use the CLIN description as the overall profile. Note: The contract awardee will receive all generator profiles for all waste streams shortly after award to enable the awardee to get the profiles approved with the treatment facilities of choice.
Q: What is the process to register a TSDF facility? As long as facilities have all permits, is it pretty easy to establish them with the base? If so, what is the timeline to register?
A: For guidance regarding our Qualified Facilities and Transporter List – Please see the Performance Work Statement (PWS), Section 5.0 provided in the solicitation. Additional information for registration (QFL and QTL) can be found at: https://www.dla.mil/Disposition-Services/Offers/Hazardous-Waste-Disposal/.
