X X The purpose of this amendment is to provide a response from the Pre-Bid Request for Information (RFI).

Steven B. Bentley Contracting Officer

Response to Pre-Bid Request for Information (RFI) Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center – Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

QUESTION 1: As referenced in the posted Statement of Work (SOW) Management and Organizational Services

· Unlimited consultation to supervisors and managers regarding employees with job performance, attendance and conduct problems. Monitoring of progress in EAP and treatment for up to two years, when and employee is referred by management for job/substance abuse problems, by maintaining contact with the employee, treatment providers, and the employer, if appropriate.

· Unlimited consultation regarding organizational issues, including sexual harassment, rug-free workplace, downsizing, conflict resolution, and workplace violence.

TRAINING (AS APPLICABLE)

· Twelve (12) employee orientations & four (4) supervisory trainings.

· Unlimited team building workshops for work and life seminars.

· Employee orientation and supervisory video training.

· Internet based employee and supervisor training to be made available at the contractor’s website at no additional cost.

Can you please provide guidelines or expectations as to how much demand for time/services will be required for the above three (3) consultation and workshop requirements, i.e. past utilization of prior contracts and/or contract expectations.

The word “Unlimited” is very hard to quantify for pricing a fixed Bid Flat Rate contract.

QUESTION 1 RESPONSE:

The Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center is requesting the vendor to provide consultative services to 300+ managers and supervisors at our facility on an ad-hoc basis.

Vendors in the past have provided unlimited team building workshops. It equates to a total of twelve (12) one-hour sessions per year, at most.
