Question 1: I came across a reference on page 43 under “Sub-Factor 1 – Service Call” that highlighted a “Section F (ORDERS) of the PWS.” I have looked through all of the documents I have available to me but cannot locate a “Section F”. Can you assist me?

Answer 1: The evaluation will assess how the vendor demonstrates their ability to address the following, located on page 8 of the Solicitation:

F. ORDERS:

1. Authorized AVAHS personnel will place telephone requests (orders) for contract services only with the Contractor’s dispatch office. The request for services shall specify the originating point and final destination. Only such travel is authorized and any costs incurred for unauthorized travel, stops, waiting time, etc. shall be the responsibility of the Contractor. Authorized AVAHS personnel are:

· Travel Clerks – (907) 257-4738

· Infirmary Staff

· Medical Administrative Assistants (MAAs) – (907) 257-5989

· VIRS Coordinators/UR Nurses Administrative Officer of the Day (AOD)

· Purchased Care Manager or designee - (907) 257-3740

· JBER Coordinator – (907) 580-5698

2. For prescheduled pickups, the Contractor shall be required to furnish the ground ambulance within ten (10) minutes of the prearranged time.

3. For unscheduled pickups, the Contractor agrees to have patient(s) transported to the departing airport, prepared, and airborne within 3 hours after the receipt of order or as agreed between the contractor and the authorized AVAHS requestor. If the Contractor identifies they cannot furnish the services within the time required, the Government reserves the right to obtain the necessary services from another source. The Government will be the sole judge in determining when to order services from a different source.

4. In the event of a “NO-SHOW” the Government reserves the right to obtain the necessary services from another source.
