| Question |
| Can we submit pricing over the maximum aggregate? |
| Answer |
| Please price each MSA for each location as appropriate; however, the maximum aggregate/IDIQ ceiling will remain at $6,750,000. |
These are estimated quantities, not guaranteed quantities, the actual quantity of MSA’s required in each location will vary and the ceiling should be sufficient.
| Question |
| The pricing sheet lists all positions as on call. Can you please advise: |
Are these positions after hours/on call positions or is this an “as needed” day to day for each location?
| Answer |
| No afterhours work is required; work is during regular clinic hours. |
Placements will typically be of longer durations, but additional short term/as needed day to day support for each location may be required.
| Question |
| The RFQ does not mention a questions due date. What is the deadline for submitting inquiries to the contract office? |
| Answer |
| No later than 12:00 PM on 9/12/2018. |
| Question |
| The Schedule of Supplies/Services notes that the estimated period of performance includes five annual ordering periods. |
Can the contract office clarify whether the term of this IDIQ will be one base year with four one-year options or five base years?
| Answer |
| The IDIQ will consist of five ordering periods, instead of a base year and four option periods. The IDIQ will be modified annually to incorporate updated wage determinations. |
| Question |
| The Technical Quote indicates that Candidate Resumes should be included in submissions, but does not appear to specify how many. |

| Question |
| Regarding Past Performance, if subcontracting, how many of the references must come from the prime vs. the subcontractor? |
| Answer |
| There is no exact number of how many should come from each (prime vs. sub), however subcontractor past performance will be considered less relevant than direct experience from a prime contractor. |

| Question |
| The workbook provides an estimated quantity for the San Bruno CBOC of 0 hours. How does the contract office want respondents to price this CLIN? |
