THE UPDATED PWS HAS BEEN POSTED ALONG WITH A NEW AMENDMENT ***As of 11:33am on 17 October 2023, this Solicitation is canceled. Due to overwhelming confusion caused by multiple changes to the requirement this Solicitation has been canceled. A new Solicitation will be posted. Please be on the lookout for it. Proposal Due Date has changed to October 18, 2023 by 1:00pm EDT See attached Amendments Questions accepted until 1:00PM EDT 26 September 2023 Additional Q&A is attached to this posting. Questions & Answers: 1). Does treated water need to analytical prior to discharge to the WRC? Yes and will need to be 70 or below to discharge If so do we need to do that each time or can we prove the system out and then discharge direct to the WRC in subsequent months? Need to do 1 Analysis at the beginning and then Quarterly Analysis's after that. 2). Is electricity available at the pond or should we plan to use a diesel pump? Yes electricity is available 3). In attachment # 2 on Pg 2 under sub factor 3 Deliverables, it references ( PWS paragraphs 4.4 ). It appears to me that may have been a typo and was intended to be referencing 4.3 ? If this is the case 4.3 states needing a cover letter for documentation of work performed. Unclear if this is talking about needing a cover letter with the redacted report from previous job or it is for documentation of work performed after the contract is awarded. We have included the redacted report from previous job in our package under subpart 3 but just wanted to be sure I didn't need to have it as separate attachment with cover sheet. Subfactor 3 should read 4.3, Yes, a sample cover letter would need to be included, so the technical team can see how it would be submitted. 4). Is there a building near the pond where a mobile treatment system can be housed in the winter months to prevent freezing? There is no building for storage at the site.
