David C. Guley Questions/Answers Solicitation Non-Emergency Ground Ambulance Services-Miami VAMC 36C24823Q2064

Questions- Please see our questions below.

1. The CLIN volumes listed in the solicitation when compared to the volumes listed in the document “P09 – Final Station…” do not align to each other. Are you able to provide additional information or clarification details on specific volumes for each level of service identified?

Answer- The PWS-SOW was provided as required per a National Template approved from the VTP National VA office. Please refer to the Section Price-Cost Schedule in the Solicitation for the actual Clin- Items and quantities that are being requested for the quotes.

1. Are the transportation volumes listed only for the main facility (“Bruce W. Carter Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center) or are they including the CBOCs?

Yes all sites are in included as listed in the PWS-SOW and Price Cost Schedule of the Solicitation.

1. If CBOCs are listed as well, are you able to list the volumes associated for the main campus and the CBOCs by level of service type?

Answer- The CBOCS are included in the line items in the price cost schedule. The actual projected usage per each individual CBOC is not available at this time.

1. Is the VA intending to issue an award to multiple providers or utilize a single source award?

Answer- Award will be made a single ambulance service provider.

1. With the above information needed in clarification for the preparation of a responsive bid, we respectfully request an extension of the submission deadline. Is the VA willing to extend the current response deadline? The solicitation time/date has been extended. Please see the FBO-SAM MOD.

Questions-- Per the solicitation, it is stated that “All offerors should submit technical capability less than 10 pages in scope and length and past performance for similar work in scope as three references (3) as separate attachments for consideration.” Does this mean that the prime contractor shall have past performances for similar work in scope?

Looking forward to receiving your response soon. Thank you.

Answer- No. Award will be based on Technical, Past Performance and Price. The contractor should provide technical capability and past performance and everything listed in Box #20 of the 1449 to be considered responsive. You may provide for both the prime contractor and subcontractor is you are using one if you desire to do so.

Question- Good afternoon, David, After reviewing the solicitation, is there any other additional information that needs to be submitted along with the price quote. I do not see where anything else is required.

Answer- Please read Box #20 listed on the 1449 document that all offerors must submit technical capability and past performance information as prescribed along with the completed price-cost schedule-quote.to be considered responsive.

Award is based on technical and past performance is more important than price.
