Doug Reed Contracting Officer VA-VHA-2020-5692567 CONTINUATION PAGE Government Responses to Technical Questions Solicitation: 36C26321Q0224 Description: Laundry Services VA Central Iowa Health Care System Number Question Government Response 1 Do you have any incumbent information, such as company name and award amount? Genesis Development dba Custom Boxes Online 401 West McKinley Jefferson, IA 50129 $1,608,596.15 is the total estimated value for five-year contract 2 On Section B.2 (Price/Cost Schedule), can we add a line to this that would be a separate charge for steam finish per item? I know this is a fixed price award so I am not sure how this works for a piece charge when we don't know how many pieces.  Please advise. As this is a firm fixed price contract, the expectation is to have one line item per Section B.2, a monthly charge based on services specified in Section B.3 (Statement of Work). Historical data for steam finish per item is 0. VACI has no items that are steam finished. 3 Regarding price per pound, I don't see where it specifies pricing based on clean pounds shipped or soiled pounds received.  We price and bill on clean pounds because soil pounds include trash, water weight from wet towels, wet mops, heavily soiled incontinence pads, etc...   Soil pounds typically are 10-15% heavier than clean pounds. Generally, our industry bills on clean poundage because that is the fairest, but some companies bill on soil weight so it looks like they are cheaper. Does the current laundry services provider for the VA Central Iowa Health Care System bill on soiled pounds?   This is a firm fixed priced laundry services based on monthly charge for services per Section B.3 (Statement of Work). A monthly average of 58,750 pounds has been listed on Section B.2 (Price/Cost Schedule) based on historical data. The pounds are based on clean pounds.
