Description
As published on SAM.gov with the combined synopsis and solicitation of October 10, 2024.
The purpose of this amendment is to provide additional information in response to questions which have been submitted.
Q: What will this be used for?
A: The salt is used for the water softener system which services the entire Battle Creek VA Medical Center.
Q: Does it specifically need to be white water ? Could you provide the salt specifications?
A: The bill of lading for the salt we currently receive says Granulated Industrial YPS Bulk NSF 60 . It looks like table salt.
Q: Do you want salt with or without YPS (anti-caking agent)?
A: The salt must have YPS.
Q: The common couple size for pneumatic deliveries here is 4 inches, while 4.5 inches sounds like an outside diameter measurement.
A: We have a 4-inch cam lock connection to the silo.
Q: What type of truck would you need to have deliveries in? Assume a pneumatic trailer but want to verify.
A: When salt is delivered the semi-truck looks like a tanker vessel and can offload the salt with air pressure from the truck through 4-inch hoses to our salt silo. Some have different compartments with looks of hoppers on the bottom of the tanker trailer.
Q: Would it be possible to schedule a site visit?
A: Yes, all requests for a site visit should be sent to the Contracting Officer, Jeffrey Rozema, via email at jeffrey.rozema@va.gov no later than 5:00 PM ET, Monday, October 14, 2024.
