4. What the estimated daily mileage of the security vehicle will be (best guess)?
o We need to know this to price in the lease/maintenance costs.

There is no clin line for fuel, that should be taken into consideration when submitting a quote. The does SOW specifies a patrol vehicle is required.
5. We are seeking clarification that the location is Jacksonville, FL given that the SAM.gov notice references the location as “Jacksonville, NC” multiple times. According to Google Maps the Cemetery is in Florida, not North Carolina as refenced. Please advise.
Answer: The cemetery is in Florida not North Carolina. NOTE: NC states for National Cemetery.
6. We would like to clarify whether the Prime contractor is required to hold a State of Florida security license or if it is permissible to subcontract this aspect of the project. We plan to collaborate with our trusted subcontractor, who is security licensed in Florida and prepared to assist us on this project.
Answer: Both should hold a State of Florida security license. Keep in mind that, the government contract(s) are with the prime and not a subcontractor.

Answer: No, your company representative should just show up on the site visit schedule date and time.
9. I see that solicitation number 36C78624Q50190 says 100% SDVOSB set aside... I just want to clarify if that means the company needs to be 100% owned by a SDV, or does that mean you will only accept bids from SDVOSB? We are a certified women owned small biz, WOSB (not SDVOSB) - can we bid on this?
Answer: No, you cannot submit a quote if your firm is not an SDVOSB. All SDVOSB must be verified on SBA VetCert website as well. If not, the SDVOSB will be considered non-responsive.
