1. Please provide a capability statement specifically demonstrating your firm’s ability to perform projects of similar scope, magnitude and complexity compared to this requirement. Identify at least 3 customers/projects from the past 3-years and a brief description of the work performed for each customer. Responses should clearly describe previous work that would articulate those protective services (armed) were performed on a similar scale to what is described above. Provide the contract number, point of contact, telephone number and email address for each referenced contract. If an assessment report is resident in the CPARS System for any of the customers/projects referenced, you only need to provide the contract number and the Government will pull the report.

2. Does your organization currently possess active licenses and/or permits to perform armed guard services in New Jersey?

3. Describe your organization’s ability to manage a contract of this personnel size that is covered by a mixture of Collective Bargaining Agreement and the Service Contract Labor Standards. Include experience working with Unions and CBA’s.

4. Please describe your organization’s ability to assume the financial responsibilities associated with receiving a contract of this size and ability to transition/start up and sustain operations for at least 120 days after award before payment will be received. Specifically, discuss the assurance that resources are available to meet payroll, subcontracting, and operational obligations at this magnitude. Please do not provide financial statements as part of your response.

5. If subcontracting/teaming is anticipated, describe your organization’s experience in successfully managing subcontracts/teaming partners. Include a detailed description of how your organization guarantees the performance and participation of the potential subcontractor/teaming partner, including a description of the type and expected levels of subcontracting/teaming (magnitude), as well as the type of work that a subcontractor/teaming partner may perform for your organization.
