A1: The PWS has been updated to resolve the inconsistencies. Please download the updated PWS to see the current workload requirement Q2: Upon completing the walkthrough the technician noticed there are some grease catchers missing, some conduit cables are exposed and there are worn out belts. This prevents the exhaust fan from working at full capacity. Do we need to file a report and request authorization to do the repairs or do you only want us to handle the hood cleaning? Section 1.7 under the Scoop Of Work it doesn’t specify if you need us to include the filters as well. Can you please clarify? A2: Repairs, filters, and grease catcher replacements are not part of routine clean under paragraph 1.7 of the PWS. Those items would be considered Over and Above Repairs. For over and above repairs, contractors can submit estimates/proposals to make the corrections after the contract has been awarded and they've had time to thuroughly inspect the systems. Q3: Will we beable to complete 2 or more jobs per night?
