| CONTRACTOR QUESTION |
| GOVERNMENT ANSWER |
1. Page 11 and 12 Section D part 2 and 6 states deliveries made within 4 hours and emergency same day deliver, but you have no line item for these charges. Request a line-item fee for emergency and special delivers plus the zone.
Line Item Added (0010). Offeror should provide a flat rate to be added to the zone rate.
| 2. I see that there are currently 3 zones, but nothing in the pricing for an Out of Catchment Zone. Will there be a Zone 4 that covers Out of Catchment Area? |
| Out of Catchment – Zone price plus mileage. Line item added |
3. On the cost schedule, it lists the total estimate for delivery for each location, but does not break it down per zone?
I don't see where there is emergency delivery fee to be factored in.
Is there a technical Labor rate per hour?
Two-person delivery fee for Bari beds as Per Jahco requirements?
Out of Zone rate?
STAT/Emergency line item added.
Estimates are the total for each facility not zone; amounts fluctuate monthly and yearly to give an individual break down.
Pricing should reflect the cost of any possible equipment to be delivered.
Out of zone rate added (line item)
| 4. To determine volume of locations on page 11 it talks about the equipment that vendors are expected to deliver; however, bathroom equipment is a number one concern of the Joint Commission and Fall Risk, so there is an education piece to this equipment and to assist putting it together. |
| Bathroom Safety Equipment should be included as it was in the last contract |
5. With inflation and GAS prices the way they are, is the Government really saying that $12,000,000.00 for the five years is the Maximum that it will allow?
Max increased
6. A Precedent has been set in previous contracts that the VA/Government reimburse the contractor for the rental of the facility. Is this true?
Negative. This is not true. The Contractor’s cost for rental of a storage/inventory facility is the sole responsibility of the contractor and should be considered in their response.
7. Wheelchair comfort fittings/adjustments require the patient to be in the wheelchair” Does this mean minor adjustment?
This means minor adjustments.
8. Is there a clause/statement in the contract that states that “All Purchase Orders (PO) Pertaining to This Contract Will Only Be Issued To The Contractor That’s Awarded The Contract”? I Can Not Find It.
This statement SHOULD NOT be included in the solicitation or the contract.
