11) I have read through it and am looking at Appendix B in the PWS. I have a question about the EMS Awareness Training and Contractor Certification. Is the contractor certification a specific general contractor cert or something else? A) Please see the Performance Work Statement, Paragraph 4.7 on Page 8. The awarded Contractor will use the link in that paragraph to complete the training. As stated in the PWS, Paragraph 4.8 and 4.8.1 on Pages 8 and 9, all Contractor employees must complete this training, and the Contractor will submit the Certificates of Completion to the Contracting Officer. This is also stated in the PWS in Appendix B – Data Requirements on Page 11.
