1. The PWS for the 45 passenger coaches says daily commute 13 to 27 Feb. Does the commute run on the arrival dates 13 and 14 February and departure days of 26 and 27 February? 45 Pax Coaches shall be used for airport shuttle, commute from Hyatt Regency Phnom Penh to Kampong Spue (either PKO or Serey Hotel), The daily commute (Phum Serey Hotel ↔ PKO Training Center, morning departure and evening return) runs on all days within the 13–27 February 2027 period for the coaches, including the arrival window days (13–14 Feb) and departure window days (26–27 Feb), unless the COR specifically cancels a run. Airport shuttle requirements on those days are additional and will be coordinated by the COR. Please see PWS for airport arrival and departure window. 2. How many passengers move each day? The PWS says about 100; The catering RFQ lists 90 U.S. personnel? The PWS states “approximately 100 passengers.” The Catering RFQ estimate of ~90 U.S. personnel is consistent with that planning figure. Exact daily headcounts will be provided by the COR with as much advance notice as practicable (normally at least 12 hours). 3. Besides the four named locations, are trips expected to other places (U.S. Embassy, ministries, hospitals, shopping)? Currently not included, if needed the contracting officer shall notify the contractor. 4. Will a flight manifest or arrival/departure schedule be shared, and how far in advance? A flight manifest or detailed arrival/departure schedule will be shared by the COR as soon as it is available, typically with several days’ notice for major movements and at least 12 hours for daily adjustments. Exact lead time depends on airline and exercise planning. 1. Must each van and bus carry 9 and 45 passengers respectively, with full luggage and gear bags? Is a separate luggage trailer acceptable, or must everything fit in the coaches and vans? The PWS also states cargo "may contain HAZMAT." What HAZMAT is expected? Each van must accommodate a minimum of 9 passengers plus their luggage and military gear bags; each coach a minimum of 45 passengers plus luggage/gear bags. Everything must fit inside the vehicles. A separate luggage trailer is not authorized unless specifically approved in writing by the Contracting Officer. “Cargo may contain HAZMAT” is standard cautionary language. No specific HAZMAT commodities are identified in the PWS for routine passenger movements. Any HAZMAT will be declared in advance and must be handled in accordance with applicable regulations; the Contractor remains responsible for compliance.
