Compensafion; Table 1: Normal Service’ is stated as 2800. The Scope of Services which details the number of trucks, routes, and daily schedule seemingly contradicts the minimum hours of 2800.

Can you please clarify the minimum monthly hours including the details above in the Scope of services?

Answer: The total patrol hours per month will vary based on the finalized contracted hourly rate and final approved schedule. The 2800 hours referenced in “Table 1” is the monthly minimum hours that are required.

Answer: While we understand the effort required from our industry partners to prepare and respond to the Request for Proposals, based on our current schedule, we are not able to accommodate an extension to the submission date at this fime.
