Questions and Answers

1. Q: The contract base period displays the contract as being 7/01/2024-9/30/2024. Is this only a 2 month contract with an estimated 58,000 trips or is this a full year contract? Are there any option years or is this a 1 year bridge contract?

A: This a 90-day contract, due to the budget constraints we have limited availability of FY 24 funds. The quantities have been updated to reflect the estimated trips required during the 90-day period. The contract will include the following clauses as listed in the solicitation: 52.217-8 Option to Extend Services, 52.216-22 Indefinite Quantity, 52.217-6 Option For Increased Quantity, and 52.217-7 Option For Increased Quantity— Separately Priced Line Item.

2. Q: We are performing independent research on the Combined Synopsis/Solicitation (36C26224Q1027). We would like to know if this is a brand new contract OR if there is (was) an incumbent performing these services. If not brand new, could you please provide the current / previous contract number?

DID: 608-373-6690

3. Q: I just read the Long Beach NEMT solicitation. I see that the term is for only 3 months. Please explain the reasoning behind issuing a solicitation for only a 3 month contract. The estimated quantities that are listed on the pricing schedule are more what you’d expect to see over a 12 month period instead of over a 3 month period.

A: This a 90-day contract, due to the budget constraints we have limited availability of FY 24 funds. The quantities have been updated to reflect the estimated trips required during the 90-day period. The contract will include the following clauses as listed in the solicitation: 52.217-8 Option to Extend Services, 52.216-22 Indefinite Quantity, 52.217-6 Option For Increased Quantity, and 52.217-7 Option For Increased Quantity— Separately Priced Line Item.

5. Q: This is what is written on the SF 1449:

Contractor shall reference Performance Work Statement for Non-Emergent Preventative Maintenance Service.

Also, the estimated quantities that are listed on the pricing schedule are more what you’d expect to see over a 12 month period instead of over a 3 month period.

A: Amendment 0001 was posted on 6/13/2024 to SAM.gov Correct block 20 on page 1 FROM Contractor shall reference Performance Work Statement for Non-Emergent Preventative Maintenance Service TO Contractor shall reference Statement of Work for Non-Emergent Medical Transportation.

6. Q: We are in receipt of your Solicitation and wonder if the B.2 Price/Cost Schedule is correct. It indicates a period of performance from 07-01-2024 to 09-29-2024, without any additional option periods. Is this correct?

A: B.2 Price/Schedule is correct, there are no options on this contract. This a 90-day contract, due to the budget constraints we have limited availability of FY 24 funds. The quantities have been updated to reflect the estimated trips required during the 90-day period. The contract will include the following clauses as listed in the solicitation: 52.217- 8 Option to Extend Services, 52.216-22 Indefinite Quantity, 52.217-6 Option For Increased Quantity, and 52.217-7 Option For Increased Quantity—Separately Priced Line Item.
