- Description
- QUESTIONS ADDRESSED BY VARIOUS INTERESTED CONTRACTORS 1. I would like to inquire if a tanker ship docked in a harbor in Iraq with a on-board bottling facility capable of meeting all your locations needs would be adequate. We have the capability of having such a floating bottling facility put in place which will be filled by an ocean going tanker-ship directly from our source in Norway? ANSWER: We are looking at all options, but a tanker docked in a harbor will not do. The intent of this bottled water capability is to reduce convoys and ultimately save Soldiers? lives. Currently, we truck our bottled water from KU, Jordan, and Turkey. So a tanker docked in a harbor (only Iraq harbor I am aware of is Um Qasar?south Iraq) will not reduce the convoys on the road. It?ll still be long haul verses a local haul that will occur at some places. 2. Are all eight sites getting its bottle water form one source or plant? ANSWER: No. The water is bottled from different sources outside of Iraq and transported in. This is what we want to avoid. 3. Are we shipping the water to each site or do we deliver the water to each site? ANSWER: Each bottled water capability must be physically located on the sites indicated in IZ. The government will be responsible to transport and distribute the bottled water produced on the sites identified to the respective units. 4. How often to you want the water tested for quality? ANSWER: It will be randomly tested by the Government and whatever times are required via USDA and FDA requirements. I would assume you already have some standard. 5. What test do you want run and drinking water? ANSWEWR: Not sure what the question is?the test ran on the water must meet the USDA and FDA requirements as you mention in question 4. 6. When can we come out to the site and inspect it? ANSWER: Yes, most definitely If the vendor believes he can meet the requirements that we are asking for then the vendor can come when ever to inspect the sites. But we do want to know whether or not he can meet the requirements laid out and the timeline. 7. Who will own the water plant? ANSWER: All equipment will be owned by the contractor The intent is for the government to own the equipment. But if the contractor only considers leasing the equipment, then the contractor must operate the water bottling capability within the limits of the SOW. If leasing is what the contractor is looking at then negotiations can occur.
