PWS Section 6.0 Para

6.4.1.1 pg. 23

PWS

Staging area creation. As timing and size of Staging Area is unpredictable, it will likely require the shifting of unknown volumes / size of Commercial Cargo to create a

Staging Area. As no Port is controlled by the Contractor can a recharge be considered on a case‐by‐case basis in the event of excessive costs subject to approval by COR?

USG will request for staging space in the port secluded from the regular commercial cargo movement approved by the Port. It will be at

COR discretion to determine if any charges will be payable for movement of commercial cargo to make space for staging area.
