Pricing basis.

Attachment 3 requests one "EA" unit price per CLIN for routine, incident, and emergency pumping, while Attachment 2 lists tanks from 1,000 to 4,000 gallons.

Will the Government evaluate price using the estimated quantities in Attachment 2?

May quoters price by tank-size tier or per gallon, or is a single blended per-event price expected regardless of tank size?

Answer: Quotes should show prices per gallon since the various tanks have different capacities.

Incident and emergency prices should equal your per gallon price for those services plus whatever urgent service fees may be associated with each.

You may use your own quote spreadsheet if that makes it easier.

Lift stations.

The CLIN titles read "Septic & Lift Station Pumping," but the Statement of Work (Items 2 and 3) describes septic tank pumping and pipe cleaning.

How many lift stations are included, and at what expected frequency?

Answer: There are sixteen lift stations.

One should be pumped once a year, and the rest only require service ¿as needed¿.

Heavy cleaning.

Please define "Heavy Cleaning" (CLINs 0007-0009) as distinct from routine pipe cleaning and confirm the unit basis for those CLINs (per event, per hour, or other).

Answer: Routine cleaning being material removable by standard hydraulic jetting, while heavy cleaning would require multiple passes, mechanical cutting/descaling, specialized tooling, or debris removal beyond normal jetting...

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
