Solicitation 36C26322Q0312 Amendment A00001

Questions, Answers, and Clarification

1. Section B.3.IV.c notes the estimated quantity is 360 rooms per year per potential contract period. The contract ceiling according to B.3.IV.e. is $1,000,000 or an estimated $200,000 per year. Are 360 rooms needed or 360 rooms needed with multiple nights per room?

Answer: This is an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract (IDIQ); the exact number of rooms needed is unknown. The VAHCS estimates it will need 360 rooms per year. There may be days where the VAHCS does not need any rooms. The VAHCS would not spend more than $1,000,000.00 total contract ceiling under this IDIQ. Offerors are to complete B.2 Price/Cost Schedule with the cost per room per night for temporary lodging services.

2. What happens if the VAHCS requires more rooms and the $1,000,000.00 ceiling limit has been reached?

Answer: Additional rooms would have to be acquired via another vehicle (e.g., a new contract).

3. Pg. 7, IV.f. Requests a minimum of ten (10) rooms every day until 7:00 PM every day, including holidays. Does that include weekends?

a. Answer: Yes, up to ten rooms per day, including weekends, are to be available to the VAHCS.

4. How many ADA-compliant rooms do you require per day?

a. Answer: The VAHCS will require two (2) rooms per day meet ADA requirements for handicap accessible showers and handrails. B.3.VI.d shall be modified to read, “ADA-compliant rooms shall be wheelchair accessible with no physical barriers. The Contractor shall ensure at least two (2) rooms per day meet ADA requirements for handicap accessible showers and handrails.”

5. Offerors must complete and return section C.10 or the offer will be considered non-responsive.

6. Offerors must provide information indicating offeror meets the following technical factors in addition to the price factor:

Technical Factor 1: The offeror must have the ability to provide lodging services within an eight-mile radius of the Sioux Falls VA Health Care System, located at 2501 W 22nd Street, Sioux Falls, South Dakota 57105. The lodging facility must also be registered on the U.S. Fire Administration Hotel and Motel National Master List (https://apps.usfa.fema.gov/hotel). The offeror shall provide the name and address of the lodging facility to be used with the quote to demonstrate their ability to meet this requirement.

Technical Factor 2: The offeror must demonstrate the ability to provide transportation services in accordance with the Performance Work Statement.

The offeror shall provide information with their quote to demonstrate their ability to provide this requirement to VA.
