1. First is in certain schools (page 3) the service is only needed for 1 hour in the morning and 1 hour in the evening. Given that most Security Guard companies have a minimum shift time of 4 hours, how are you currently covering this shift? Currently, the RFP is only requiring those two hours per location for traffic control. I will be up to the Security Company to reallocate those resources per their company policies. At this time, after the 2 security officers leave that site, the school is maintained with school resource officers. The reason for two guards is because one building houses 2 schools; therefore 2 guards are needed in the morning and evening for that hour. Have you considered off-duty Sheriff Details? Deputy Sheriff's have been considered but their lack of manpower at this time makes off-duty work challenging. 2. In regard to the training listed on Page 4, named “The school safety officer training course”, and continuing training, can you please tell me how many hours per year per officer assuming no turnover? Each officer is required to have 40 hours of continuing training yearly, and the security basic course is a one-time certification which certifies the officer as a security safety officer in the state of Mississippi with no expiration. 3. So just to clarify, while the Officers are mostly unarmed, I would just like to clarify that all Security Officers need to be arms certified, bonded and have the ability and clean drivers license so they can drive busses if need be (Page 6). If you plan to arm any of your security guards, which is not a requirement, they need to meet all specifications mention in the contract, if awarded. Clarification( Security does not drive nor park buses just monitor bus parking.) 4. Finally, will the finalists be able to do a service offering presentation prior to the decision being made? VWSD is open to having these presentations included as an option of the bid opening process.
