Question and Answers

Question 1: CLIN items 0002 and 00013 appear to be duplicates. Can you confirm whether or not this is an error? If not, please provide more detail on the difference between the two mileage CLINs.

Answer Q1: CLIN 002 is within 20 miles of Durham and Greenville and Clin 0013 is outside 20 miles.

Question 2: CLIN 0013 and 0014 have set rates, $5.00 and $7.50. Can you confirm if the intention is for these to be set rates, or will bidders be able to submit competitive rates for each of these CLIN items?

Answer Q2: Rates set by the Government at $5.00 & $7.50 per mile.

Question 3: Additionally, CLIN 0013 and 0014 do not have a “Totals” box to the right (highlighted yellow). Please advise on how to proceed based on the previous questions above.

Answer Q3: Total # of each is 10,000 miles for each.

Question 4: What phase is VetRide implementation at Durham VAMC?

Answer Q4: The VETRIDE system is currently in use now by Durham. This system will track all trips ambulatory, wheelchair and Ambulance. Contracts will be entered into the VETRIDE system once new contracts go into service.

Question 5: PWS REF# 4.6.2.1.1. states A “no show” is defined as a transportation request which is cancelled after the contractor has dispatched a vehicle, the vehicle is enroute, or has arrived at the pick-up location, and there is no longer a requirement for patient transportation.

The contractor may request one-way reimbursement for no-shows. No-show reimbursement shall be based upon the base rate for the type of service requested (Stretcher Transports, BLS, ALS, CCT) and the one-way mileage (Stretcher Transports, BLS, ALS, CCT) accrued enroute to the pick-up location at time of cancellation. Mileage for no- show cancellations shall be confirmed by the contractor and reported to the VA as soon as possible from time of cancellation.

There are currently no CLINs for the BLS, ALS, CCT No- shows in order for a contractor to invoice. Can the appropriate CLINs be added?

Answer Q5: No show- will be paid 1 way based on the rate of the service being provided (ALS, BLS and CCT). Rates for ALS are outlined in another CLIN within 20 miles our ALS requests goes to Duke University.
