*** AMENDMENT 1 ***

The purpose of this amendment is to address vendor questions, and extend the RFP due date to 10:00 a.m. Friday 12/29/2023.

1. What will be the pickup schedule (weekly, biweekly, monthly)?

Weekly

1. What are the container sizes?

28 Gallon

1. What are the estimated volumes?

Please read section 2.1 of the PWS.

1. Whom is the standing vendor in place?

Advant-Edge Solutions of Middle Atlantic Inc.

1. Can you please double check the Attachment A – Pricing Sheet and confirm it is the correct one?
   
   
   
   1. Cell E57 of the Analysis Summary Tab seems to refer to another service, “Kitchen fly traps and IDIQ was increased to cover Bed Bug treatment use frequency.”
      
      
      
      1. The Analysis tab on this spreadsheet is incorrect and does not apply to this contract. Please disregard.
      
      
      
      
   
   
   
   


2. Can you please clarify on pages 16/17 of the bid document:
   
   
   
   1. The Government identifies 9 locations (2.4 Collection containers) requiring service and only an average of 5 containers in a typical workweek (page 17 first paragraph).
   
   
   2. Is the Government expecting the contractor to pull and consolidate the medical waste from all locations, or to exchange the containers from the locations only when full?
      
      
      
      1. Typically, in the industry the waste is prepared for shipment by the generator and presented for pickup, so while I realize the period has expired, it is a critical component that should be addressed.
      
      
      2. Contractors will present lower prices since they will not be technically required to handle and package the waste, so the staff at the facility will need to consolidate the waste for pick up, or only full containers will be pulled. Either way, I do not think that is the intent, so it should be clarified for all bidders.
         
         
         
         1. All nine locations in the building need to be checked for medical waste by the contractor. Government staff disposes the waste in 28-gallon totes lined by the Contractor. The Contractor is expected to line each tote with a new bag in each room.
         
         
         
         
      
      
      
      
   
   
   
   


3. How many containers per room are to be picked up?
   
   
   
   1. This amount varies. Please refer back to section 2.1 of the PWS.
