This synopsis/solicitation is for shop towel rental and service for the base year and four option periods. Statement of Work For Shop Towel Rental and Service Contract 1. In an effort to properly manage shop towels and eliminate their hazardous waste management and disposal, the Fort Carson Directorate of Environmental Compliance and Management (DECAM) desires to obtain the services of a local contractor whereby shop to wels will be provided for use, on a rental basis. The contractor will then pick up the used shop towels and launder them in a facility meeting all state regulations. 2. An initial quantity of 25,000 Shop towels shall be required to be delivered to Fort Carson, Building 3708 to begin this service. Contaminated shop towels will be picked up at the same location on a weekly basis thereafter for laundering. 3. In order to be considered for provision of these services the contractor and their facility must meet the following criteria: a. Contractor and their facility must meet all state and federal laws concerning the handling and laundering of shop towels potentially contaminated with hazardous wastes, AND b. A minimum of six months experience laundering shop towels in a permitted facility, AND c. The ability to pick up and launder up to 7,500 shop towels per week, AND d. The ability to provide an initial stock of 25,000 shop towels 4. Initially, the contractor will provide, as part of the rental agreement, a base stock of 25,000 shop towels to Fort Carson at a single location. Following this initial delivery, each week the contractor will visit the same location on Fort Carson and pick up any contaminated towels delivered to the drop off location from the motor pools and exchange them one for one with clean shop towels. DECAM will handle the disposition of shop towels to the motor pools and receiving of contaminated shop towels fro m motor pools. The contractor shall, as part of the rental agreement, replace all unserviceable shop towels at no additional cost to the government. 5. Also as part of this service contract the government would like the ability to purchase additional shop towels to replace those that are lost or to issue to deploying units. All requests for additional shop towels will be made on separate Delivery Orde rs under this contract. Funds for each delivery order will be provided at the time that the Delivery Order is issued. 6. The start date for this project is 01 April 2005 with an end date of 31 March 2006 with four option years. 7. To be considered for this contract, Fort Carson and DECAM expect two bid prices from potential contractors: 1.) A per shop towel rate for each towel picked up, cleaned and returned on an estimated 30% (about 7,500 towels) weekly exchange basis of the initial 25,000 towels provided, and 2.) A per shop towel purchase cost for shop towels that are lost or needed for deployment by Fort Carson units. The estimated number of shop towels needed for this item is 5,000 towels per year.
