Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides responses to vendor questions and clarifications regarding the waste management services opportunity.

• Pricing Structure: The government will maintain a flat monthly fee for waste collection services, rather than a per-load pricing model, due to administrative complexity and forecasting challenges associated with a per-load model.
• Gully Cleaning: PWS Section 1.5.3 requires contractors to "clean, empty, wash, transport, and/or remove/dispose of liquid waste... from... gullies." While "jetting" is not explicitly mentioned, the requirement to "wash" the gullies is stated.
• Annual Volumes: Appendix A contains one-year of data for volumes. Vendors should use this and their expertise to prepare pricing. Specific waste types and sites have been updated in Appendix B.
• Emergency Collections: For RAF Alconbury, Molesworth, Blenheim Crescent, and Det 6, emergency pickups average twice a year. RAF Mildenhall averages up to 15 occasions annually, and RAF Lakenheath averages five times a year. RAF Croughton, Fairford, and Welford have not had emergency callouts.
• Emergency Response: A tanker must be on-site within 4 hours of a request for bulk liquid waste emergency response.
• AFFF Waste: PFAS may be present in AFFF waste systems, and any trace amount must be incinerated.
• Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) Pricing: The pricing for AFFF collection and disposal has been corrected to 150,000 ltrs per annum, reflecting the accurate amount for the relevant sites.
• Hanger Waste: Hanger waste consists of a mix of oil and fuel, with 150,000 ltrs per annum referring specifically to catch pits.

These clarifications provide specific details on service requirements, historical data for volumes, and emergency response expectations, which may impact vendor pricing and proposal preparation. Appendix B has been updated with new information regarding sites and waste types.

• HR Data (TUPE): ELI data for HR teams will be sent directly to HR representatives. Offerors should request HR team contact details during the RFI process for smooth TUPE handling.
• International Catering Waste: This will be a separate CLIN, and the PWS and Offer Sheet will be updated accordingly.
• Mobilization Period: A 60-day mobilization period is provided for the contractor to prepare for full operational capability by the contract start date of May 1, 2027. No service performance is required during this period.
• Past Performance Relevancy: Relevancy criteria (scope, scale, complexity) must be met individually by each contract reference; they cannot be combined cumulatively.
• Pricing: Offerors are required to propose a price for all line items, and anticipated cost escalation for option years can be included.
• 'Not Applicable' Responses: Performance elements rated 'Not Applicable' by a customer reference will be considered neutral and will not be viewed negatively. However, such ratings do not demonstrate experience in that area.
• Workload Figures: Listed workload figures are estimates based on historical data for offeror planning and pricing purposes only; they are not guaranteed quantities.
• Temporary Increases in Service Demand: The government cannot provide forecasts for temporary increases due to OPSEC. Offerors must base pricing on estimated historical workload data.
• Site Weights and Tip-Site Tickets: Submission is preferred in electronic format (scanned PDF). Hard copies are only acceptable on an exception basis.
