On the scope of work it states the requirement of the contractor to supply 56 totters. In the table it states a total of 36 total 96 gallon totters that the contractor own and supplies. 20 for NY Campus, 15 for St. Albans Campus and 1 for Staten Island CBOC. Please see revised schedule, there are 56 Totters. Q- Is there a centralized location that can be utilized for collection containers to be stored at both main campuses and St. Albans? There is an area at each location that all 96Gallon totters can be stored. Q- What government background check platform are you requesting we utilize and what is the cost per check? The current fees associated with NACI/Tier 1 background investigations are approximately $297.00 each for low level investigation. Q- Can a final Certificate of Destruction be provided at the end of the month along with invoicing? Yes Q- They shall be required to make pick-ups as required of large volumes...I.E. boxes for documents needing destruction..as needed basis... and on page 3. If an extra totter is needed for purging...... Because the idea of purging is mentioned, how will this be handled? Will there be a line item for NTE number of totter, or will this take place outside of the contract and paid with P-Card. If this is not going to be part of the contract can the pick-ups...of large volumes...on an as needed basis, be removed? Purging of documents is done by VA staff, we would only require additional totters for a major clean out. No, there will be no line item for purging. "Purging" has been removed Q- Do we have to provide a written notification for each pick-up date, as this will never be the only stop for the truck? What is the time frame for the deliverable of the delayed final destruction process. Due to the directive 6371 refer to page 6 section 5 Definitions sub c. Interim Destruction. Because interim destruction has taken place, temporary transportation is allowed for long periods of time, allowing final destruction to take place after 24 hours. Initial destruction must take place on site, final destruction can take place after 24 hours. Yes, we need written notification that you service each campus so a receipt documenting your pick up is necessary. Q- Because there will be 2 CORs, who will be responsible for the 2 CBOCs and Living Center? Will the certificates for each site go to the CORs responsible for those sites? There is 1 COR who will be responsible for all locations
