QUESTIONS AND ANSWER (Q&A)
Revised 8/11/2020
• Question 1: Is my proposal missing anything? Why was the bidding process reopened?
Answer: The bidding was reopened to increase competition. While CBP cannot provide assistance in formulating proposals, please ensure that you are responding to all requirements of the solicitation and are offering your services at a reasonable and responsible price commensurate with Industry standards, in order to be competitive. If you have already submitted a proposal and do not wish to revise it, please advise accordingly. Thank you.

Answer: Monitor the break exercise form(log) and alert the CEO Supervisor if a canine has not been exercised for more than 3 consecutive days.
• Question 3: Are we only responsible for alerting the CEO Supervisor if they are not exercised for 3 days?

Answer: The exercise can take place at the CEO’s choosing while the canine is working or if the exercise is taking place at the kennel in the designated CBP break yard.
