About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for RFQ 12318726Q0161 — Center Support Services - Flatwoods Job Corps, addressing clarifications raised by potential offerors regarding labor categories, pricing requirements, work location, and operational procedures.
The RFQ solicits services for a single Registered Nurse position with an estimated quantity of 1,040 hours at the Flatwoods Job Corps Center, located at 2803 Dungannon Rd, Coeburn, VA 24230. Although the Performance Work Statement includes comprehensive guidelines for three labor categories—Center Mental Health Counselors, Drug/Alcohol Abuse Counselors, and Nurses—offerors are strictly bidding only on the Registered Nurse role; the additional labor category descriptions are provided for informational purposes only. The government clarified that a previously stated "pickup and delivery" requirement in the pricing evaluation factor was a typographical error from a standard template and has been removed in the updated solicitation posted on SAM.GOV. Personnel required to operate government vehicles must complete mandatory orientation training covering defensive driving, fleet credit card procedures, log books, seatbelt use, accident reporting, maintenance inspections, and emergency repair processes per the Forest Service equipment manual (EM-7130-2). All clinical staff must maintain professional liability insurance with minimum limits of $1 million per occurrence and $3 million aggregate, with no additional specialized federal background checks or auto liability policies specified beyond standard requirements.

RFQ 12318726Q0161 — Center Support Services - Flatwoods Job Corps
• Labor Category & CLIN Disconnect: The Performance Work Statement details comprehensive guidelines and technical workloads for three separate roles:
Center Mental Health Counselors, Drug/Alcohol Abuse Counselors, and Nurses.
However, Attachment 1 (Schedule of Items) only lists a single line item, CLIN 0001, for a Registered Nurse at an estimated quantity of 1,040 hours. Could you please confirm if offerors are strictly bidding on the Nurse role for this specific task order, or if a revised pricing schedule will be issued to include the counselor positions?
The position is for Registered Nurse as indicated on the Schedule of Items on page 1 of the Combined Solicitation attached in SAM.GOV - RFQ 12318726Q0161 — Center Support Services - Flatwoods Job Corps; the Labor categories and comprehensive guidelines are for informational purposes only if those positions were indicated on the schedule of items (they are not).
• "Pickup and Delivery" Instructions: In Factor 2 (Price) on page 14 of the solicitation, the text states that the firm-fixed-price quote should "include pickup from and delivery back to the specified locations listed". Given that this requirement is for on-site medical and clinical staffing services at the Flatwoods facility, can we safely assume that this logistical phrase is a placeholder error from a commodities/equipment contract?
Yes, typo and the evaluation factors have been revised and updated in
SAM.GOV.
• Physical Work Address: The documentation states that clinical services must be performed on-site at the Flatwoods Job Corps Center, and the Wage Determination covers several rural counties across Virginia. Could the Government please provide the exact physical street address of the center so we can accurately evaluate local commuting ranges for our regional network of licensed professionals?
2803 Dungannon Rd, Coeburn, VA 24230 – Flatwoods, VA
• Government Vehicle Operation: The labor category descriptions in Attachment 5 note that certain clinical personnel—specifically the Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) and Center Mental Health Consultant (CMHC)—will be required to drive students around in Government vehicles. Beyond the mandatory $1 million per occurrence / $3 million aggregate professional liability insurance limits, are there any specialized federal background checks or additional auto liability policies our company must maintain for these staff members?
Drivers and equipment operators shall complete an orientation on operating fleet equipment, which includes information on: defensive and distracted driving, official use policies, appropriate use of the fleet credit card, retaining fleet credit card receipts and invoices, log books, appropriate behavior when driving, seatbelt use, accident reporting procedures, driving conditions in the Forest Service environment, preventative maintenance, daily and monthly fleet equipment inspections, emergency repair process, and so on (EM-7130-2).
