Questions – VISN 1 Lab Courier Services

Q11. VA Boston and VA Bedford

There are some disparities between what is requested in the SOW to what is currently being done in practice under the current contract.

3. Quest PSC P/U Frequency SOW – 13:00 TU Only Current- Templates deactivated

Please advise if TU will be needed in new award period, or if it is no longer needed and should not be considered in the bid process. This is in reference to 500 Congress St. I see that our 15:00 pickup templates were deactivated, but there are 15:15 pickups that were created in place of these.

ANSWER: 1515 pickup time confirmed okay for Quincy.

4. Quest Lab P/U

SOW – 11:00 TU

Current – No trip exists

Please advise if TU will be needed in new award period, or if it is no longer needed and should not be considered in the bid process. This is in reference to 116 Long Pond, I see that this is not currently set for 11:00 pickup but has been moved to 11:45 at some point likely per VA request. Can you please confirm the time the VA would like on this pickup?

ANSWER: 11:00AM pickup confirmed for Plymouth/Long Pond Rd.

Q12. VA Boston and VA Bedford

1. The answer to question 11, item 5c (found in amendment 0001) should result in adding Saturday Jamaica Plains to West Rox into the routed section of the Boston & Bedford pricing schedule (currently lines 5-28). Suggested quantity is 50.

ANSWER: We double checked this one. It is not every Saturday, only as needed. These runs are included in the as needed section of the price breakdown by location excel spreadsheet.
