Jarrod D. Washington Contracting Officer

36C26224Q1523-S205—IDC Wheelchair and Hired Car Service with ad Hoc Companion San Diego

Q. What was the total previous contract amount and has the scope of work changed?

A. Contract 36C26218D0112 task order 36C26224N0015 in the amount of $1,023,266.32 the scope of work has not changed.

Q. Is this a rebid for existing vendors or are you looking to replace a previous vendor?

A. This is a new requirement for a base year plus two option years.

Q. What current problems are you aiming to solve?

A. None to note.

Q. We see the base rate includes the first 20 miles. What is the average trip distance?

A. The average trip distance can vary.

Q. Are you willing to separate the hired car transportation and wheelchair van services into two separate contracts?

A. No, we are not awarding two separate contracts.

Q. Line items 0007, 1007 & 2007 – Companion Services. Question: What price are you requesting? Are you requesting an hourly rate? Or are you requesting a “per occurrence” rate? If you are requesting a “per occurrence” rate, how many hours should be figured in to calculate this rate?

A. For CLIN’s 007, 1007 & 2007 we are looking for per occurrence with up to 4 hours.

Q. On other Wheelchair Van and Hired Car Transportation contracts in VISN 22, an on-site travel coordinator is required from the contractor in the operation of the contract. This on-site travel coordinator benefits the success of the contract by working directly with the VA to ensure timely and accurate transports.

Question: Can you add the requirement to provide an on-site travel coordinator?

A. No, a CLIN for an on-site travel coordinator will not be added.

8. Page 68 of 89 states “The maximum aggregate value of the orders that can be placed under this contract is $7,000,000.00.” Question: Based on the estimated quantities listed on the price schedule, I feel that $7M is too low. Consider raising the maximum.

A. No, the VA is not intending to raise the maximum.
