Responses to Questions:
1) Question - As future wages BU03 wages are not posted yet, we do not know what potential SR14 wages will be beyond 2024. Will the selected vendor be able to seek service fee increases for these future wage increases?

Answer - Offeror is solely responsible for the costs of TWIC cards, specific training, credentialing, ect. Wording from RFP - "Any specialized training and/or credentialing shall be the sole responsibility and cost of the guard agency."
3) Question - The “General Duties of a Guard” on RFP pages 10 and 11 describe tasks and responsibilities of the on duty guard that are conducted at the guard station at the front gate.
