Inquiry #4: Section 12-4.02D Payment of the ITB states that the hourly rate for each California Highway Patrol officer providing COZEEP support is $115. Does this mean that we (the Contractor’s) need to carry the cost of COZEEP support in our bids and then that cost will be deducted from our bid item payment when COZEEP is used? Please clarify if we need to include the cost of COZEEP in our bids.
