2. How much commercial cargo generally comes in and out of each of the ports listed in Table 1 for which you provide S&RTS services? Does your commercial business keep you operationally running or do you rely on the contracts provided by the Government at each specific CONUS port.

3. If awarded a contract would your company provide lower rates if the CONUS ports were grouped together into one contract? For Example, if the Government solicited for Charleston and

Jacksonville in one contract as opposed to separate contracts, could your company provide a lower rate/discount? If yes, which ports could be grouped together to allow for potential lower rates/discounts?

1. MOTCO and Seattle - one contract in the West Coast
