SITE VISIT QUESTIONS

1. One clarification on PWS Sections 3.2 and 3.4 for the two 10,000-gallon OWS units. PWS 3.4 directs refill with clear water from the Government-furnished source. Where precleaning sampling under PWS 3.1 confirms the separated water layer is non-hazardous, would the Installation Environmental Office consider written approval to reuse that water as part of the refill, with off-base disposal limited to oil, sludge, wash water, and any volume not reused? Or should offerors price full off-base disposal of all liquid contents with 100 percent fresh-water refill?
The Government requires that all fresh water be removed. The entire contents of each OWS must be properly disposed of. Offerors shall price full off-base disposal. 2. Please confirm which procedure the Government requires: 1. Temporarily containerize the petroleum-impacted water on-site, clean the separators, and then return or process the stored water through the cleaned separators; or 2. Transport and process or dispose of the entire petroleum-impacted water volume at an approved off-site facility, followed by refilling the separators with new clear water supplied by the Government.
The Government’s preferred option is Option 2: Dispose of all contents and refill the system with clear water supplied by the Government.
3. If off-site processing or disposal is required, please confirm whether offerors should use approximately 16,000 gallons as the estimated liquid quantity for lump-sum CLIN 0002 pricing, in addition to the sludge, solids, and cleaning rinsate. The Government estimates that approximately 16,000 gallons may require disposal. This quantity is provided for planning and pricing purposes only and is not a guaranteed quantity. Offerors shall account for the requirement to properly dispose of the entire contents of each OWS and provide pricing for full off-base disposal.
4.Disposal pricing: Vendor Questions 30, 35 and 38 call for measurable unit prices with estimated quantities or a not-to-exceed amount for optional CLIN 0003, while Question 39 says disposal should be lump sum. Please confirm the required quote format for CLINs 0002 and 0003, the waste quantities/classification assumptions to use for evaluation, and how any quantity or characterization change beyond those assumptions would be handled. Does hazardous disposal replace the corresponding nonhazardous disposal charge, rather than duplicate it?

If the Government identifies a material change in waste quantity, waste characterization, or
