Question
Potable Water Documentation for FWRA:
For commercial catering facility in Colon, please clarify required potable water documentation for FWRA. Will
current IDAAN bill + commercial ice receipts satisfy TB MED 530, or is independent lab test required preassessment?

Answer
I will be requesting information on potable water
and ice to include source, any municipal supply
test results, onsite test results, and results of
any public health agency testing. I will inspect
onsite water storage, filtration, and security. I will
draw water and ice samples at multiple locations
to test for the presence of coliform or E.coli
bacteria. The inclusion or absence of testing will
be considered in the assessment of risk.

Subcontractor Facility Approval for FWRA:
If a prime contractor utilizes an approved vendor facility that passes FWRA, will that approval cover performance
at Base Aeronaval Cristobal Colon?
Reaction Time for Integrated US Army Regulations:
PWS references integration of US Army Regulations (AR
30-22, TB MED 530) and JSCG policies. Please clarify
required Contractor reaction/implementation time when
new regulation/policy is issued during performance: a) Is compliance immediate for food safety/health vs. 30 days for administrative changes? b) Will cost-impacting
regulatory changes be considered a contract change
under FAR 52.212-4(c)?

Sources are a factor in the assessment of risk;
any preparation, delivery, and serving of food is
subject to the FWRA process.

Basis of CLIN 0001 (and 1001 to 4001). CLIN 0001 reads
"Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner services for 150 personnel
(Daily Steady State Operations)," priced per month. PWS 5.10 and 5.11 describe four-day JOTC RSOI services and
RTU breakfast and dinner during rotations, and PWS
5.3.2(b) states lunch is not required for RTU. Should the monthly price assume three meals daily for 150 personnel every day of the month, or the JOTC and RTU schedules
in PWS 5.10 and 5.11? If the latter, please provide the estimated number of JOTC courses and RTU rotationdays per year for pricing.

Unit of issue for surge CLINs 0002 and 0003 (and option equivalents). These carry quantities of 550 and 800
"Each." Is the unit price per person per day (three meals), per meal, or per surge event? If per event, what duration
