Description

Clarifications to the following Answer posed in previous amendment. VAAR 852.219-75 says "the contractor will not pay more than 50% of the amount paid by the government to it to firms that are not certified SDVOSBs."

Please confirm that money the contractor pays to a company that is not a certified SDVOSB, for picking up and hauling waste under this contract, counts toward that 50% limit. Answer: Per VAAR 852.219-75 the case of a contract for services (except construction), the contractor will not pay more than 50% of the amount paid by the government to it to firms that are not certified SDVOSBs.

11. Contractor-furnished compactor and balers (SOW 3.0). SOW 3.0 asks for a new 34 CY self-contained compactor and vertical/horizontal balers.

B.2 has no CLIN for them, and 34 CY matches the existing unit. Should read the following: 4cy front load, 8 cy front load and 40 cy open top containers for solid waste services   Is the contractor required to furnish a compactor or balers? NO, the VA has a government owned baler in place, and the government is responsible for the 35 cy and 42 cy.

The vendor will be responsible for the pickup of the bales as stated in section three of the SOW.
