Question 9:

Reference: RFP Page 87 of 106, Section C.5.2 Schedules, letter d. “Rover (3 posts) are from 1900 –0500 (365 days, to include holidays) 1800 – 0600 (365 days, to include holidays), 0600 – 1800 (Holidays), and 0600 – 1800 (weekends).”

Please clarify that there are: three Rover posts from 1900 to 0500 for 365 days including holidays which equates to109500 hours (3 posts x 10 hours x 365 days = 109500 hrs.); one Rover post from 1800-0600 for 365 days including holidays which equates to 3650 hours (10 hrs. x 365 days = 3650 hrs.); one Rover post from 0600 – 1800 for holidays which equates to 132 hours (12 hrs. x 11 holidays) = 132 hrs.; one Rover post from 0600 – 1800 for weekends which equates to 1248 hours [12 hrs. x (52 weekends x 2 days = 104 days) = 1248 hrs.];

114,530 total hours each contract year

Answer 9:

There are two Rover posts 365 days and the 3rd Rover would cover day shifts for holiday and weekends.

The resulting hours of Rover coverage will be as follows:

1. 1800 - 0600 365 days to include holidays

2. 1900 - 0500 365 days to include holidays

3. 0600 - 1800 holidays and weekends only

The Government will not provide or verify the calculation of the total hours. It is the Offeror’s responsibility to do so.

Question 10:

Page 95 Section C.7.3 references the contract shall provide a vehicle for use during patrols.

Page 87 Section C.5.2.d references the hours for the Rover post with hours of 1800-0500 and 1800-0500 implying that there are two rovers on duty during the time stated above. Does each rover have a vehicle?

Answer 10:

No, only one vehicle would be required at any given time for use by the exterior or property rover. Rover hours are 1800 - 0600 and 1900 - 0500. The expectation is that one would be doing the building rove and the other doing the property rove, and then they can switch roles.

Question 11 Page 95 Section C.7.2.h states an additional 1000 rounds of ammunition shall be provided and stored to accommodate emergencies and to be available in the event of additional services are ordered. The ammo should be replaced every six months and expended during the semi-annual re-certification firings. Can the government clarify if they require the rounds to semi-jacket hollow point or full-jacket ammo (non-hollow point)? In the event we need to use for the certifications, we typically do not qualify with semi-jacket.

Answer 11:

In accordance with Section C.7.2.g, “Ammunition for the weapons will be semi jacketed hollow point rounds in standard size magazines, with two additional magazines on the duty belt.”

Furthermore, additional clarification on the type of ammunition is provided in Section C.7.2.h to read: “An additional 1000 rounds of semi jacketed hollow point rounds ammunition shall be provided and stored onsite to accommodate emergencies and to be available in the event additional services are ordered. Ammunition shall be replaced every six months. These rounds shall be expended during the semi-annual re-certification firings.”

Questions 12:

Can the government provide a current guard force seniority list?

Answer 12:

There is no guard force seniority list.

Question 13:

The Scope of Work mentions an on-duty supervisor. Does the supervisor currently work one of the mentioned posts or is the supervisor in addition to the schedule hours mentioned?

Answer 13:

The supervisor is additional to the schedule hours mentioned.

Section C.5.2 has been amended to add the following requirement:

“The guard manager is a stand alone position that works from 0800 – 1630 Mon - Fri.”

Question 14:

Does the incumbent contractor have a dedicated relief officer or do the guards break in place?

Or use another means to provide breaks?

Answer 14:

A dedicated relief officer is required. Section C.5.2 has been amended with the following:

“Relief Guard: Break periods are mandatory and relief guards staff shall be provided by the Contractor to ensure coverage of the fixed post. Failure by the contractor to furnish required relief breaks to the guard force shall be negotiated for non-compliance in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract. The Contractor shall provide a relief guard for each guard at a fixed post who is on an authorized break. Supervisors and roving guards shall not be used as relief guards except in emergencies.”
