1. Number of FTE’s / users per location?

FTE 1866.54

1. Number of beds per location?

325 Operating beds in the Primary Facility

1. Number of Pharmacists per location?

Pharmacists 41; Pharmacy technicians 24 (no pharm staff in CBOCs or Vet Centers)

1. The titles for print & online, please advise what locations will have the online component.

All locations have the online access. The print copies are directed to the primary facility – James J. Peter VA Medical Ctr. 130 W. Kingsbridge Rd. Bronx, NY 10451.

1. It appears that there are 2 sites. Can you confirm if both sites would be accessing the online only journals or just the Thomas P. Noonan Jr site? Can you also please provide the number of FTE’s for each location or if only one site is accessing the online, what is the number of FTE’s?

These question have been answered above

1. Place of performance Primary address for ship to including online access: James J. Peters VA Medical Center 130 W. Kingsbridge Rd. Bronx, NY 10468.

Yes

1. Online Access for all of the below?

The list up above has all the online access sites.

1. I’m not clear if you are requiring that we fill in Section V and if we should include the 6% increase as stated above in the prices, we quote for item numbers 1001 – 4001. Or, do you require that we submit a price quote for each title listed in the Statement of Work and based on this statement you will evaluate the prices for each option year. Basically, I’m not exactly sure what you require as far as submitting pricing:

This is for a Firm Fixed Price and you can use the table in section (v) or your own quote, but we will need total pricing for Base year and pricing for all options.
