Question Submitted:
I'm trying to confirm how many deliveries will need to be made daily? Does this require special access to both delivery sites? Does each delivery driver require a background check?
Response Received:
The detailed instructions for the deliveries and frequency are contained in the PWS on page 2.
Delivery sites require access, either a government representative will be present at the site or access will be given.
Each person requires a satisfactory background check prior to performing the services.
