CONTINUATION PAGE

Questions and Government Responses Question 1.: The solicitation states “Services shall also be provided at any one of its five Community Based Outpatient Clinic locations, depending on the needs of the agency:” Will the Psychiatrists be expected to work any/all of the facilities listed or will they be selected to work at a single location? If an FTE is requested for the VAMC will they be expected to “float” to any of the CBOCs or will they stay at the VAMC for the duration of the assignment?

Answer 1.: “The Government has 6 total locations (Lebanon medical center and 5 CBOC locations). There may be times due to staffing needs where we would need to provide coverage to any of these locations. Flexibility would be needed as situations arise, for us to respond to demand for psychiatry care. In general, the Government would not move staff around unless it was necessary due to patient care needs.”

Question 2: I was hoping to verify the exact hours expected per provider, per the solicitation it states 3 providers Monday through Friday, up to 30 hours a week, would that be per provider?

Answer 2.: We are looking for 40 hours per week not 30.

Question 3: Would the Government entertain the submission of 2 providers at 40 hours a week each

Answer 3.: Yes, the Government will review 2 FTE providers, but it is reiterated that the Government requires 3.”
