Jeffrey S. Fleming Contracting Officer

VA-VHA-RPOE-2022-168922

Question 1:

Upon review of the RFQ , the SF 1449 indicates two days for the survey.

Conversely, on Pg. 10 in the Deliverables section, Items 8-11 indicates 14 business days @ 8 hours per day minimum for Physician, RN, and Environmental Consultants.

I also noted that items 12-13 in the Deliverables section specify 10 business days @ 8 hours per day for Environmental Consultants and RN.

· Answer:

The statement: Period of performance is a two day period to be determined At time of award, is removed. The PWS refers to period of time for areas of concentration, the quoter shall propose the time it will take to complete the Mock Survey.

Question 2:

Can you clarify the requirements for the on-site work for the survey team?

· Answer:

· The PWS addresses time periods for areas of concentration, the quoter will need to determine the how they will accomplish the full Mock survey in accordance with the PWS.

Question 3:

Do you have a desired pricing matrix/schedule?

· Answer:

· This is a Firm Fixed Price single line item RFQ.

The government intends to award a firm fixed price award. The Contractor shall provide all necessary personnel, supervision, labor, equipment, materials and disposal necessary to provide the services pursuant to the Performance Statement of Work described herein.
