Question:
Hi ,

In document RI-BURF_25116_Request_A_Quote - 5.2 Response to Evaluation Criteria it instructs in some of the questions to complete details in Attachment 1 – Minor Works Tender Form, where do we locate this form, it does not appear to have been supplied with the tender documents.

Thank you

Question:
On page 10 under 3.4 Frequency of service they have it down as cleaning ALL building on Tuesdays and Fridays, excluding public holidays. However, under “General Cleaning” in their pricing section we need to complete they’ve listed it as five days a week cleaning and not 2 days which doesn’t match there is it 2 days a week or 5 days a week.

The second question I have is regarding the green circle REAGENTS/CHEMICAL – Monthly QTY! I’m not exactly sure what they mean by this, as when I looked it up, it refers to a chemical reaction or a test for specific chemicals. They’ll need to provide some clarification on this or do you know what there on about.

Hope that makes sense.

Hi, the services required are for 2 days per week. The preferred days are Tuesday and Fridays but can be swapped to other days when required.

In answer to your second question, the section for Reagents/Chemicals is for any consumables you will be charging for, other than what the Department will supply.
