Nikki Horther Contracting Officer Solicitation 36C25018Q0370 Amendment 0001 Questions and Answers

1. Who is the contractor currently performing the work? Now Courier

2. What was the cost of the final full option year of the previous contract? The final option year was awarded for $140,630.18

3. How many drivers/vehicles are currently used to service the current contract? Unknown

4. What are the vehicle sizes required? No requirements are given. Previously sedans, SUVs and vans have been used.

5. The PWS lists CLIN 0006 Domiciliary as having 365 trips/year, but service only on Saturday-Sunday. Does the Domiciliary also require service M-F, and if so is the service time requirement the same as on weekends? Services are required Sunday through Saturday.

6. What is the maximum expected distance for Unscheduled/STAT runs greater than 50 miles?

A prediction cannot be made for maximum expected distance as individual requirements vary. The majority of Unscheduled/STAT runs have occurred within the metropolitan Indianapolis area.

7. What is the maximum and average expected load volume for supplies deliveries? Part II, Work Requirements states a general light load of 5-10 pounds. The transport of such loads are daily, light items which do not require extra measures to handle or transport.

8. Will the contractor be required to supply dry ice for specimen transport? No.

9. Will this contract be SCA enforced? After reviewing the solicitation on FBO, it contains language and dollar values regarding the Service Contract Act. This solicitation stipulates $16.07 minimum wage for courier drivers, $4.27 minimum H&W, Sick Time/Vacation. Do you verify now that those are the minimum required rates to be performed on this contract upon award? The acquisition is subject to Service Contract Labor Standards and drivers shall be paid accordingly.

10. A new SBA Final Rule regarding FAR Clause 52.219-14 Limitations on Subcontracting, dated June 30, 2016, reclassifies Independent Contractor drivers as Subcontractors — 13 CFR 125.6 “Work performed by an independent contractor shall be considered a subcontract.” Please inform us how the VA would like us to proceed upon award regarding this rule change given that it will affect our offer regarding pricing and performance. As provided in 13 CFR § 125.6(e)(3), if an independent contractor qualifies as a “similarly situated entity” as defined in 13 CFR § 125.1, the work performed by the independent contractor may count toward meeting the applicable limitation on subcontracting requirement.

11. Do drivers need to stop at RLRVAMC Lab/Pharmacy prior to starting their route?

Yes. Drivers will start routes at RLRVAMC each day and end their route at RLRVAMC. For Pharmacy deliveries all drivers start at RLRVAMC and end their route upon delivery, unless instructions require an additional action.

12. What is the expected times of delivery to RLRVAMC? Delivery times are noted in Part II, Paragraph A(1) Scheduled Courier Services. All delivery times are generally by 3:30 pm EXCEPT for Indy West VA Clinic with has an additional delivery time of 12:00 pm (noon) and the Domiciliary which has a delivery time of 11:00 am.

13. Do we need to supply the transport containers for the VA staff to pack specimens? If so what is currently being used? VA supplies the containers.

14. Schedule of Services Item 6 Domiciliary calls for a 11:00pm pickup and the Scheduled Courier Services table #6 Domiciliary calls for 11:00am pickup. Please clarify.

Domiciliary scheduled picks up are clarified as 11:00 am.

15. What time do the CBOCs close in the evening? CBOCs close daily at 4:00p.m., therefore meeting pick-up times is essential as is meeting the delivery time to RLRVAMC.

16. Who determines the mileage for the Unscheduled Runs and STAT Runs? The vendor will determine mileage based on location. VA will utilize the Rand McNally Mileage Calculator to verify mileage http://maps.randmcnally.com/mileage-calculator.do.
