- Final Questions and Answers for Solicitation # HSTS03-06-R-CAO054 TSA VAP 1. What is the number of anticipated pickups at each airport ? is there more than one TSDF? If these are more than one TSDF, how many and what are the addresses? Would we be required to pick-up waste other than at a TSDF, and if so, where? The SOW specifically calls out the minimum number of pickups per Cat per time frame. The Offeror shall propose which TSDFs it proposes to use. Those TSDF?s will then become subject to the audits. 2. What is the volume of pickups (how many 55 gallon drum containers are estimated per month?) TSA provided the weight in the answer to a previous question posted earlier. Please use that stated weight to establish volume. 3. Please provide pricing for the types of containers listed on Page 11 of Section C. This is to be proposed by the Offeror as part of the price proposal, if invited to submit. 4. Please provide more detailed definitions on kinds of wastes, required/preferred disposal requirements, government directed sites, etc. Hazmat is hazmat. As far as disposal requirements those are set by law, which is something they should know. 5. Will TSA consider increasing the scope to include VAC services (for sump pumps and oil/water separators)? No. This nothing to do with property left at check points. 6. Page 4, first paragraph under the line ?Please note the following? ?All contractor personnel will be required to complete and submit a confidential and non-disclosure agreement prior to beginning work. Further down this page it also states that ?on-site personnel may be required to take annual TSA-sponsored training courses such as IT security, ?etc?. It?s assumed that these requirements WOULD NOT apply to service personnel who pick, pack, and manifest waste and/or provide VAC Services (if it is added). Please provide additional information regarding to whom these requirements apply. Applies to any personnel that would need a TSA badge and access to our infrastructure. 7. C.7 Security Requirements ? please provide clarification on who will need a security clearance. Clearance only applicable for SIDA badging if done, everyone else must be US citizen and pass background check, applicable only if getting a TSA badge. 8. Please provide clarification regarding whether or not the following items are considered as part of the routine waste pickups. Special Hazardous Materials ? Ammunition, C.3.3.3.2 Special Hazardous materials ? Fireworks, any radioactive materials, aerosols and compressed gas cylinders, medical waste or other kinds of ammunition: blasting caps, flares, dynamite or fireworks. SOW specifically states max 10 pickups per year. 9. Please provide clarification on whether or not the specialized wastes are ALWAYS handled as one-off pickups and not assumed to be handled with the other wastes. Pickups of the specialized wastes are to be handled separately from the other waste. 10. Will materials be segregated and is there a holding time for any of the materials? Will certain items be able to stay onsite until a certain quantity is reached to be picked up? Materials are stored onsite at airport prior to pickup. Pickups must occur at a minimum as called out in the SOW and must also be performed when requested by an airport. 11. Will TSA provide any manifests for the materials previously handled? Please provide any information based on previous VAP experience. TSA will not provide manifests for previous pickups by the current contractor. The contractor should be aware of the manifest requirements. 12. Please provide any previous contractor information regarding what type of ?support? is required from the contractor in regards to the sharps/needles mail back program including all interested TSA locations. What are TSA?s expectations for ?support?? As answered earlier, the contractor will be responsible for supporting the mailback program for all interested TSA locations and proposing a program to oversee and implement the program. 13. Will TSA require clearance training (badging) for all drivers? We request that TSA consider excluding drivers who pickup waste and/or deliver containers. We propose considering that these persons can be brought to the sites with an escort from the airport environmental managers or their designees, rather than training them all. Please see the response to # 6 above.
