1) Service quantities and additional calls: SOW 2.2 calls for Monday/Wednesday/Friday pump-out up to 2,000 gallons per visit. Section 4.3 excludes federal holidays but permits weekend/holiday or other adjusted-hour service. Are missed holiday visits skipped or rescheduled? What additional-call quantity should the firm-fixed monthly price include, and how are visits above the regular schedule or volumes above 2,000 gallons authorized and priced?
3 visits per week pumping 2000 gallons, missed days should happen the following morning.
2) Access and safe pumping: Please identify the truck access/parking point, restrictions on truck size/weight, approximate hose distance and vertical lift, connection/opening type, and whether all pumping can be performed from outside without confined-space entry. Please confirm ongoing crew/vehicle badging, escort requirements and onboarding lead time, given the November 18 start.
No size restrictions,10ft distance, no confined space entry, just ensure real ID for all contractors, no escort required, no lead time.
3) Disposal: Is there a designated or restricted receiving facility, or may the contractor select any legally authorized facility? Are manifests, disposal receipts, volume logs or other acceptance records required? Please identify any known non-domestic constituents or special disposal/testing requirements.
Any legal facility, volume log required.
4) Wage basis: Please confirm that the attached SCA wage determination 2015-4327, revision 35 dated August 22, 2026, applies.

We understand the equivalent hire statement is informational, not the wage determination. Please confirm the applicable H&W/paid-sickleave basis and whether there is a predecessor collective bargaining agreement or successor-service benefit information we need to price.
The wage rate applies.
5)
Insurance: Please confirm the required prime-contractor insurance evidence/timing under HSAR 3052.228-70 and whether additional insured endorsements or pollution/environmental liability coverage are required beyond the referenced FAR 28.307-2 coverage.
