Snow and Ice Removal Services Requirement Supporting the Alleghany County Memorial U.S. Army Reserve Center in Cumberland, MD

The purpose of this Amendment 0002 to the Solicitation W15QKN-26-Q-A033 is to answer

vendors' questions:

Question 1. Is there any incumbent/recompete or this is a brand-new project? If yes, could you

please provide us with their award number or even if the customer bought similar services in the

past.

Answer 1. W15QKN-20-D-5083 awarded to Lonnie DuPree Landscaping & Lawn Care LLC, total

awarded amount: $128,250.00, period of performance: 25 September 2020 through 24 September

2025, the same scope of services

Question 2. CLIN Invoicing Methodology: Regarding the tiered snowfall CLINs (0001 through

0004), if a single snow event results in an 8-inch accumulation, should the Contractor invoice only

for the 6"-10" bracket (CLIN 0002), or is the pricing intended to be cumulative across the lower

brackets?

Answer 2. The contractor is to bill for the cumulative total of snowfall in a single snow event.

Question 3. Unit of Measure for Sanding/Salting: CLIN 0005 (Ice Melt and Sand) and CLIN 0006

(Clear Sidewalks) use the unit "Each". Does "Each" represent a per-application/per-event rate, or

is it a unit based on a specific volume of material (e.g., per ton) or square footage?

Answer 3. Per application

Question 4. Ice Removal Pricing: PWS 5.1.2 and 5.1.11 indicate that ice removal and sanding

/salting are "on-call" requirements. In the event of an ice-only storm with no measurable snow

accumulation, how should the Contractor invoice for sidewalk clearing if CLIN 0006 is typically

triggered by a 3-inch snowfall event per PWS 5.1.8?

Answer 4. The COR will determine at the time of the even and dispatch with specific instructions

as to the services required per event and when services are required

Question 5. Government-Furnished Storage: PWS 4.2.1 mentions the Government "will assign

storage area if available". Can the Government confirm if on-site storage for salt, sand, or equipment is currently available at the Cumberland, MD facility to support the 2-hour response

time requirement?

Answer 5. No there is no areas for storage, contractor is to bring product with them to complete

services

Question 6. Pre-Season Preparation: PWS 5.1.8 requires the Contractor to "mark all sidewalks

and appurtenances before the start of the snow season". Is the cost for these markers and the

labor for installation/removal intended to be a separate charge, or should this be amortized across

the event-based CLINs?

Answer 6. Amortized across CLINs
