Q39 Question: Clarify SOW

10.Is it part of the Scope of Work that the Contractor’s employees are to proactively inspect the

County’s property? Do you expect the Contractor to train its employees on premises law and building codes?

Answer: Yes, we do expect Security Officers to proactively inspect County Property for security-related issues (i.e., suspicious packages, suspicious people, open doors). We do expect the Contractor to train the Security Officers in Security best practices, not building codes. The Security Company that is awarded the Contract will have guidance from FCPD for additional information that is specific to a particular County building.

Q42 Question: Training timeline

13.Regarding the training FCPD provides related to magnetometers, etc., how many hours is that training? When is this conducted (e.g., during a working shift? Prior to standing a post? Within the officer’s first 3 months?)? Is there any cost to the Contractor for this training? Is this train-the-trainer training or does FCPD provide this for every new employee?

Answer: The training is 40 hours, and it is conducted during normal business hours in the Government

Center. The training is conducted when the new Officer is hired, and Fulton County does not pay for the

Officer until the training is complete. The cost for the Contractor is 40 hours of pay to the Security

Officer because FCPD does not pay the Officer while they are in training. The training is conducted by

FCPD and not train the trainer.
