- Description
- Information for Bid form with pertinent Bid form to be filled in and submitted. The Virginia Army National Guard has a requirement to dispose of deformed brass casings from two locations at Fort Pickett, Blackstone, Virginia. The casings include 5.56, 7.62 and.50 caliber stored in 55-gallon drums and hoppers. The Ammunition Supply Point (ASP) has approximately 100,000 lbs of expended brass stored; the majority of the casings are in hoppers with approximately 10 pallets with four barrels on each. This quantity may increase if the facility continues to process over the next two weeks. At the Recycle Yard, approximately 45,000 lbs in dump hoppers. These two facilities are approximately two miles apart on the installation. The contractor is responsible for pick up at both locations as the government will not consolidate the material and will not provide assistance with loading. While the material in both locations is being sold under one contract, the material must be tabulated separately. Weigh tickets for the different locations will be clearly marked as "ASP" and "Recycle" to allow each location to be accounted for individually. The casings at the ASP have been demiled by way of crushing/crimping. The casings at the Recycle yard have been demiled via a safety certification unit ("popping"). All material has been certified inert in accordance with Department of Defense Instruction Number 4715.4. The contractor shall provide a weigh ticket for each truck when it is empty and after it has been loaded. In addition, certification of the scales used shall be provided. The weight of the pallets and/or barrels will be deducted from the tare weight. The contractor shall pay the government for the difference based on these weights. No consideration will be given for material "lost" during processing in the contractor's facility. A government representative shall be onsite to verify the amount of material loaded per truck. The purchaser's weights shall be compared and reconciled to the government estimate. The purchaser shall provide payment in one of the accepted formats within 7 calendar days of removal. Payment is to be made payable to US Treasury; remittance shall indicate it is for the purchase of U.S. Government Property. Acceptable forms of payment include certified check or money order only. The contractor must empty the barrels on-site. Removal and return will not be authorized. Contractor is to provide all necessary personnel and material-handling equipment to empty the barrels at the ASP into contractor provided containers. The contractor shall reimburse the Virginia Army National Guard for any barrels damaged during this process at a rate of $15 per barrel. Of the random sampling of drum weights, the average weight is 550 lbs per drum. The drums are covered at this location so the government does not anticipate water accumulation within the drums. In addition, the material has been certified as inert. Material pick up will be accomplished from 8:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday through Thursday of each week. Contractor will not be allowed on site Mondays and Fridays. A government employee will be assigned to escort and assist the contractor with staging barrels and/or forklift operation. The contractor employees shall have government-issued photo identification on their person at all times and shall be escorted at all times. Contractor employees will not wander away from the work area and/or bring cameras or camera phones onto the installation. A site visit is scheduled for Tuesday, 3 November 2015 at 10:00 a.m. at the ASP and 10:30 a.m. ET at the Recycle yard to provide vendors an opportunity to assess the quantity and type of each material, level of effort required to remove material, security limitations etc. Attendance is not mandatory, but interested vendors are strongly encouraged to attend to become familiar with the facility, ask questions etc. As a result of security restrictions, this is the only opportunity vendors will have to access the site prior to the bid opening. Interested bidders are required to register by contacting Ms Susan Swanson, Contract Specialist, at susan.e.swanson5.civ@mail.mil. Only those people with prior approval will be allowed access to the closed facility. Attendees are to have a government issued photo ID with them to gain entry. A deposit is not required to submit a bid however, within three (3) business days of award, the successful contractor must provide an earnest money deposit of 20% of the total bid price to the Contracting Officer. This deposit will be held for the duration of the project. The contractor may remove materials up to the value of the deposit. These loads must be paid for within seven (7) calendar days of removal and before additional loads are removed. The check, along with weight tickets, must be submitted to the Contracting Officer on the seventh day. Therefore, the contractor should be prepared to reconcile and pay for loads weekly. The VaARNG reserves the right to retain the deposit until such time as all weight tickets have been received and the purchaser has paid in full all invoices for all property removed. Interest will accrue on all late payments at the daily rate of 2.375% in accordance with 41 U.S.C. 611 (https://www.fms.treas.gov/prompt/index.html). In addition, an administrative fee may be charged to collect a delinquent payment. Acceptable forms of bid deposit include certified check, money order and company check. Bids are to be submitted in pounds on the SF114F form. Bids are due by 2:30 p.m. ET on Thursday, 5 November 2015. Bids may be delivered in person, mailed or faxed to Susan Swanson, Contract Specialist, USPFO-ACQ, Building 316, Fort Pickett, Blackstone, VA 23824. Seller reserves the right to refuse all bids. Telephonic bids will not be accepted. Any questions are to be directed to Ms. Swanson at 434-298-6293, fax 434-298-6202 or email at susan.e.swanson5.civ@.mail.mil.
