Sheet1
| Questions | Government Response | |
| 1 | What is the waiver process for the collaborative agreement between a Nurse Practitioner and physician and how will that affect any roles of both the NP and physician | In the event a Physician is not proposed for at least 50% of the hours a waiver may be sought with the Department of Labor (DOL) who runs the Job Corps program. |
| 2 | Is the contract awarded for one year with subsequent renewals yearly for the other four years? | It is anticipated that any resultant contract will be for a base year plus four option years to be exercised at the sole discretion of the Government. |
| 3 | What type of medications and equipment will be provided for acute issues, e.g. Epinephrine, AED, respiratory equipment. And is it our responsibility to oversee stock of such needed materials and medications? | The vendor is responsible for providing the services spelled out in the Performance Work Statement. All Job Corps centers have AED, and basic respirator equipment. The Government nursing staff will maintain an adequate stock of needed medical supplies. |
| 4 | Does the entrance screening and lab testing of Job Corp participants happen prior to the program starting for these individuals or during the program? | The lab tests are done upon arrival to the center. |
| 5 | Within the intake process, is there any prescreening information available to our staff or are assessments done on site? | Applicants complete a basic health questionnaire. If they disclose any medical issues (to include mental health and substance abuse which are not covered by this contract) a more detailed questionnaire is sent to the medical provider to be completed with the applicant upon arrival to the center. The Government nursing staff performs the basic vital, vision, and hearing screenings upon arrival. |
| 6 | What are the general demographics of the student participants, (e.g. age, education level, socioeconomic status)? | See Part III. Performance Work Statement Section I. Introduction. |
| 7 | What is the existing form of medical record keeping for the patients available? Is it electronic or paper based? | Currently the majority of charting is paper. DOL is looking at providing EMR in the future. |
| 8 | How soon after invoices are submitted will payment be expected? | Invoicing is done through IPP and will be paid out in accordance with the Prompt Pay Act. |
| 9 | Are appointments scheduled ahead of time for student screenings and visits or are they a walk-in type environment. | Appointments for the medical providers are typically scheduled but there will always be the chance of walk ins. The nursing staff have walk in clinic times daily. |
| 10 | Are there opportunities for a site visit? | Currently there are no site visits due to the current COVID environment |
