Questions & Answers

1) Is there an incumbent currently servicing this contract? If so, could you please send us their company’s name & contract number?

ANSWER: I cannot give that information as it is proprietary information.

2) Within the last few months how many rides have been required per day?

ANSWER: Daily averages vary. Average monthly is between 200-250 rides.

3) Where would the patients be going and or coming from? Other facilities or various locations?

ANSWER: See below section 1.4. of the SOW.

1.4 All services shall be performed from the designated pick-up point to the drop-off location which may include the main San Diego Veterans Affairs Medical Centers (VAMC), another VA Medical Center, Community-Based Outpatient Clinics or other designated locations (i.e., nursing homes, airport, other medical facilities, etc.) including delivery to specific rooms within a building if so specified.

4) Do you need any wheelchair assessable vehicles?

ANSWER: No wheelchair accessible vehicle is required.

5) On the pricing sheet where it states more than 20 miles 35,000 each, as well as less than 20 miles 1,400 each is that referring to each mile? or each trip? Seems to be each mile but I want to be sure.

ANSWER: Rides within 20-mile radius to be charged per trip. For example, a $1 flat rate charge for all rides within a 20-mile radius.

Rides over 20-mile radius to be charged per mile. For example, $1 charge per mile for rides over a 20-mile radius.

6) Would we have to provide the software where the rides would come through or do you provide that?

ANSWER: VA San Diego will not provide any software. See below from SOW.

1.1.1 The VAMC Beneficiary Travel Section will fill out a transport voucher listing the originating location (star point) and the address of the destination (endpoint). Each voucher will include the Veteran’s last name, first name, date of transport, and time the trip began. The VAMC Beneficiary Travel Section will contact the contractor to arrange the transportation. The voucher will be presented to the Veteran with one copy retained by the VA.

1.1.2 Upon arrival at the destination, the deriver will complete each voucher noting the mileage and total cost. Gratuities are not authorized at the government’s expense.

1.1.3 Electronic requests for contractor services are authorized if a monitored email address and POC are available within the stipulations of the contract. A reply email of verification is required within 30 minutes of each electronic request for transport for immediate services or scheduled services.
