16-247-SOL-00013 Teleradiology, HHCC Amendment 0002

Questions and Answers #2:

1. Q: Does the fact that we will be migrating to a new PACS in the next six months disqualify us from bidding, or make it unlikely that we will be considered for this contract?

A.: “No” as the reports are currently coming back to HHCC via text-based reports so for the current process there would really be no difference based upon whatever PACS they choose to implement.

2. Q: Is the Hopi Health Care Center currently being serviced by a telerad provider, or on sight radiologists? If telerad is currently being used, how long has the current provider been in place?

A: 2 Months

3. Q: There are four documents under Section G that need to be completed and returned to the government before interconnection to the federal system. Can I correctly assume that these need to be completed only by the successful bidder, and not to be sent in with the RFP?

A:The SF1449 has been added to the solicitation in Amendment 1. This shall be completely filled out with a price shown for teleradiology service for the base and option years.

Exhibit B-G is not required for RFQ submittals.
