Clauses By Full Text
Statement of Work - Optometrist Services - FCI Oakdale
Subject The Health Services Department at the FCC Oakdale requires a contractor to provide Optometry Services as prescribed in the description of duties listed below at the Federal Correctional Complex (FCC), 1507 E.
Whatley Rd, Oakdale, Louisiana 71463.
Place of Performance Services will be performed in the Health Services Department of FCC Oakdale.
Schedule A session is defined as 1 hour. A normal workday will consist of 8 sessions/hours, 6 days a month, which will consist of a total of 48 sessions a month and 576 sessions annually. A monthly schedule will be agreed upon after award by mutual agreement of all parties. This schedule is subject to change to meet the needs of the institution. The contractor will normally work between 7:30 – 4:00 with a 30-minute unpaid lunch break.
Again, this schedule is subject to some variation as the needs of the institution vary. Any change in schedule or adjustments in sessions will require prior approval by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR).
Payment for services will only be based on scheduled sessions of work according to contract. A schedule that is mutually acceptable to the government and the contractor can be determined after award of the contract.
Due to the nature of the correctional setting, delays in performance of work may be experienced. Such delays may include but are not limited to inclement weather, electrical or mechanical problems, or other security matters. When Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) employees report to the institution but are unable to perform services due to such delays, the BPA employee will be paid for one session. Normally, any remaining sessions for that day will be suspended and the BPA employee will be free to leave, and the BPA employee will not be paid for the remaining unperformed sessions. However, if the institution requests that the BPA employee remain at the institution for eventual performance, the BPA employee shall be paid for such sessions. In the event of any absence, the BPA employee may make up his/her time so long as it does not exceed 6 days in any given month. If the BPA employee fails to provide coverage, the Government may seek a BPA remedy.
Education and Experience The contractor will provide FCC Oakdale with an optometrist who possesses a current and valid optometric license/certification to practice optometry in the United States. The optometrist must possess a current ACLS certification. The contractor must provide verification of credentials (education, current licensor/ status competency, continuing medical education), proof of malpractice insurance, as per applicable Joint Commissions standards and medical indemnification insurance in the amount specified in the contract. The contractor must also be certified in Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation in accordance with the American Red Cross or American Heart Association and provide a copy of his/her certification. Failure to submit evidentiary documentation of education, qualifications, and licenses/certifications, or the name of a qualified candidate who will perform these services may result in elimination from consideration for award. The individual(s) performing these services must be able to pass a drug screening and law enforcement agency background check and carry the required liability insurance as stated in the solicitation.
The optometrist must have the ability to work with an inmate population from a variety of cultural, regional, racial and ethnic backgrounds. The individual(s) must have experience with medical equipment. Must have

The optometrist must possess good organizational skills, good interpersonal relationship skills and be able to work effectively with the medical staff.
Additionally, the optometrist shall also hold a current professional license that permits him/her to practice the professional specialty of Optometry in Louisiana. The optometrist cannot have had a negative employment termination within 36 months prior to initiating vouchering process on them. The optometrist’s name, work experience and proof of qualifications must be provided at the time the quote is submitted.
Health Requirements The contractor shall ensure that the Optometrist is free of infectious diseases. Any individual performing as an Optometrist under this contract who subsequently develops a medical condition which might reasonably be expected to place other workers, patients, or the public at risk shall be immediately removed from activities requiring performance of invasive procedures and activities which might reasonably be expected to place other workers, patients, or the public at risk. In any such case, the contractor shall be responsible, at no additional cost to the institution, for securing the services of any replacement personnel required for contract performance.
The contract employee may be required to submit to testing for/or provide evidence acceptable to the clinical director of recent testing for tuberculosis of other communicable diseases. Failure to submit to testing for or providing acceptable evidence of recent testing for or immunity to selected communicable diseases shall be grounds for denying access to inmates. The contract employee shall immediately inform, in writing to the Contract Officer’s Representative (COR) and Administrative Contracting Officer, and adverse action taken by any regulatory body involving certification. This includes, but is not limited to, suspensions, revocations, restrictions on licensure as a Optometrist.
Description of Duties The contractor shall be responsible for the following tasks.
1. The contractor will be providing optometry services to inmates in the custody of the Bureau of prisons, coordinate activities and work closely with the Health Services Administrator of the institution in the treatment of inmate patients.

Staffing shall be commensurate with the expected needs of the patients and within the scope of services offered. The contractor shall NOT provide information to the inmates(s).

The contractor is required to maintain an open line of communication with the Clinical Director, HSA, and COR.

Non-Personal Services The service is a contractual arrangement and not a personnel appointment. Payment is based on the provision of an end product or the accomplishment of a specific result. The service does not constitute an employer/empl oyee relationship. The contractor will not be subject to Government supervision, except for security related matters. However, contractor performance shall be monitored.
The contractor will not:
• Supervise BOP staff
• Participate in inmate accountability
• Requisition, sign for, or pick up supplies
