THIS AMENDMENT IS TO ANSWER QUESTIOSN CONCERNING RFP 36C24519R0091. PLEASE SEE PAGE 2 FOR QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

1. Section 2.7.2. states “The number of Ultrasound Technician(s) located within the VA Medical Center, on a daily basis (be on site) is # 3.1 Business Hours as defined in paragraph 3.0 Hours of Operation.” 3.0 is blank. What hours does the government intend the technicians to work?

8:00 am-4:30 pm with call coverage 4:30 pm until 7:30 am.

2. Section 3.2 states “The Contractor will provide monthly ultrasound technician schedules to the COR at least 5 days prior to the beginning of each month.” Are there certain hours the government intend the technicians to work? For example, during peak times, would the government prefer both part-time working? Or would the government prefer maximum coverage during the typical 0700-1600 timeframe?

Not peak periods. Routine shifts as listed above.

3. Section 4.0.13 states “Contractor will provide augmentation/surge Provider(s) to the VAMC Imaging Service under such circumstances within 1.5 hours” Is it the intent of the government to provide technician services within 90 minutes of request 24 hours/day, 5 days/week?

This is call coverage, so the answer is yes.
