X Pychiatrist Physician amendment to solicitation The purpose of this amendment is to answer questions submitted pertaining to this acqusition.

William I. Applegate Contracting officer Questions Submitted:

1. The SF1449 sheet indicated due date of 4/30/2018 at 4pm CST. However the Instructions to Offerors on page 82 indicates offers due by 5/11/2018. Please confirm which one is correct.

Answer: The correct date for proposals due is May 11, 2018 4pm CST.

2. Please confirm that candidate CV's and supporting certifications (i.e. candidate packets) will not be required with proposal under Technical portion of the proposal?

Answer: CV’s and supporting certifications are not due with the proposal. Once contract is awarded they will be required with candidate submission.

3. Reference Page 15, para 2.9.5: It states, "In the event a scheduled physician is unable to complete an assigned shift, the contractor shall provide replacement physician coverage within 2 hours and notify the Contracting Office Representative (COR) at the Poplar Bluff VAMC) immediately of the schedule change." Please confirm this requirement. To provide for this requirement would require having a second psychiatrist on call each day to be able to respond. Is the client taking into account the cost to incorporate this requirement. Request it be deleted or add a second CLIN for on-call for 2080 hours per year.

Answer: The paragraph in 2.9.5 "In the event a scheduled physician is unable to complete an assigned shift, the contractor shall provide replacement physician coverage within 2 hours and notify the Contracting Office Representative (COR) at the Poplar Bluff VAMC) immediately of the schedule change." Will be deleted. This will no longer be required.

Answer: No

5. On average, how many patients per day will the Psychiatrist see?
