805 CTS Climate Controlled Storage Containers

Questions & Answers

1. Will the contractor need to load/unload government property into the portable storage containers at any time during the contract? A – All government property will be loaded/unloaded into the storage containers by the Government. Contractor will not be responsible for loading/unloading government property.

2. Do CLIN 0002 and CLIN 0003 refer to the number of trips required to move all four containers, with CLIN 0002 specifying the movement of containers destined for the 2nd floor and CLIN 0003 specifying those for the 1st floor? Or, do these CLINs refer to the number of containers themselves, meaning two containers will be placed on the 2nd floor (CLIN 0002) and two on the 1st floor (CLIN 0003)? A – CLIN 0002 represents the delivery/pickup (combined) for all government property on the 2nd floor.

The 4 containers will be placed on the ShOC-N campus and the Government will load items from the second floor into the container. The Government will reach out to the Contractor when it is time for the containers to be picked up and taken to the Contractor’s storage facility. The Government will again reach out when it is time for the Contractor to bring the units back to the ShOC-N campus.

At this point, the Government will unload the items belonging on the second floor and load the containers with the items from the first floor. Upon completion of the Government unloading/re-loading the containers, the Contractor will pick up the storage units and return them to their storage facility until the Government is ready for the containers to be returned for the final unloading. An extra CLIN was added in case this pick-up/drop-off needs more than these two trips.

The containers will not ever be located on the second floor or anywhere inside the building. The CLINs are simply labeled in this manner (by floor) to separate the phases of the project.

3. How many phases will there be within the 12 months? A – There will be two phases as annotated by the CLINs. If an extra phase is needed, the additional CLIN will be utilized.

4. What are the projected delivery and pickup dates for each phase? A – This is contingent upon award date and the construction phase completion dates. We won’t have exact dates at this point.

5. How long will containers stay at ShOC-N campus during loading and unloading phases? A – The time could vary so we don’t have an exact timeframe.

6. Will the contractor need to load/unload government property into the portable storage containers at any time during the contract? I just want to be clear if labor is needed for loading & unloading the portable storage containers' contents or not. A – The Government will be the only ones who will load/unload items from the storage containers.

7. Also in the solicitation it mentions an additional pick up/drop-off off possibly being needed. Would this be to put more items into one of the 4 portable storage containers? A – Yes.
