# Page Section Question Response

1 2 1 and 2

The requirement for Corporate Membership. Is it the intent of the OCC to pay Contractor an annual fee for the Corporate Membership that will result in all 4,000 OCC employees gaining full subscription access to the national caregiver database upon enrollment, with no fee due to the OCC employee?

Yes, That is correct. This will be a firm-fixed contract which will be billed monthly for all 4,000 OCC employees at the Agency.

2 3 1 Is it expected that we should fill in the Description, Price, and Total Cost fields in this section and include this with our submission in Volume II Price Quote?

Yes, That is correct.

3 4 2

Please elaborate on your “Back-up care” requirement related to “immediate notice to available caregivers”. Does this mean that OCC employees must be able to post their need online and caregivers who have signed up to be back-up caregivers will passively see the posting on the website, or do you mean that back-up caregivers must receive a text message or an email?

Please review section 3.1.3 in the RFQ.

No.

Should these answers be included in the Technical Quote by cutting and pasting these questions in their entirety and providing appropriately checked boxes inline as answers? Is there flexibility in page limitations so entire questions and answers may be included, which seems necessary given questions’ inline check boxes?

The annual representations and certifications should be an attachment to your response with your price quote. Your organization must an active registration with SAM in order to do business with the U.S. government (page 45 - 8.0).

This section states that the page limitation should be 17 pages, excluding resumes. This section also states that Volume I Technical Quote’s page limitation is 20, and Volume II Price Quote’s page limitation is 2. Which is correct: 17 or 22 pages overall?

Will you confirm with us when you are ready to reach out to the references we provide? We want to be respectful of our clients’ time, and knowing when they’ve completed a reference is important in determining how often we may offer them as a reference.

Instructions for Quote Submission, (1) Factor 1: Corporate Experience – Given the nature of this SOW, which individual(s)’ resumes should we include? With regards to resume information, all caregivers provide profile information to seekers of care through our online service. Does this resume requirement pertain to those caregivers? Would providing a sample caregiver profile, similar to what would be available to a care seeker using our service, sufficiently answer this question?

The resume that is required is for the person will be responsible for the day to day operation of the contract in the event of an award.

All the services that are required are in the RFQ.
