New Vendor Questions and Answers:

1) Is there negotiation available for the Friday service date requirement?

Answer: No, the Statement of Work (SOW) section 2. Paragraph C. is very specific based on the VA Medical Center and VA Clinics schedule requirements for Friday Service Dates.

2) Could we complete either a no-charge service on the Cheyenne location or a walk thru prior to contract award to make sure services could be completed by 3:30pm each service.

Answer: The contractor who is awarded is allowed to coordinate any post award actions agreed upon during the post award conference as long as there are no additional charges outside of the SOW.

3) If badging is required would our Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical badges that our Service Representative already have be sufficient for the Cheyenne VA Healthcare System?

Answer: Please reference SOW section 2. paragraph C. subparagraph 3.

4) Can I submit a separate Price/Cost Schedule form in replacement of the one included in the solicitation, as long as it includes all required information? (Similar question just word slightly different : On the SF 1449, do you want the amount listed as the first year base amount or the total amount for all 5 years? ) Answer: We recommend using the Section B.3 Price/Cost Schedule to submit your company's Base plus 5 Option Years quote. However, if you use a separate quote form outside of the RFQ it must be aligned to the existing section B.3 Price/Cost Schedule, the VA will not honor any additional terms of vendor quotes outside of the RFQ terms and conditions.
