Traci Johannes Contracting Officer

CONTINUATION PAGES

The following sections of the Statement of Work are corrected as follows:

Contractor Requirements

2. The Contractor shall possess a minimum of three years of experience, along with all necessary equipment, personnel and must be financially responsible to perform courier service as required under this contract. The Contractor must meet all requirements of federal, state, or city codes and licenses regarding operations of this type of service. A description of the Contractor’s experience and qualifications shall be submitted with the offer. No later than 10/24/2025, the Contractor shall provide resumes showing three years of experience and qualifications for each employee who will be performing the requirements of the contract as of commencement of the contract. For any employees who are hired to perform the requirements of the contract after the contract begins, the Contractor shall provide resumes to the COR showing the required three years of experience and qualifications prior to them beginning work under the contract.

3. The vehicles used in the performance of this contract shall be registered, licensed, and meet minimum requirements as mandated by the Department of Transportation, the State of Minnesota or Wisconsin, and cities operating therein. The Contractor must provide all vehicles. No later than 10/24/2025, the Contractor shall provide documentation to the COR for the vehicles that are intended to be used to perform the requirements of the contract. The Contractor must provide proof of registration, licensing, insurance as per Section C.5 SUPPLEMENTAL INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS, and ability to meet the minimum requirements as mandated by the Department of Transportation, the State of Minnesota or Wisconsin, and cities operating therein.

Vehicles must be of the proper size to accommodate all items requiring delivery; “small cars” are not appropriate. The appropriately sized vehicle for labs and mail has the capacity of a mini-van or SUV. The vehicle must be able to accommodate up to six insulated coolers and several large mail bags. A climate-controlled truck/van with a lift gate is needed for the Sterile Instrument Cart. All vehicles must have functional climate control to maintain temperature and humidity levels. The size of the vehicles and the necessary amount of storage space within each vehicle is entirely dependent on how the Contractor develops their routes. For example, routes with less stops may sufficiently utilize a smaller vehicle; however, routes with more stops will require a larger vehicle.

The VA reserves the right to inspect all vehicles for which this documentation is provided. For any future vehicles intended to be used to perform the requirements of the contract after the contract begins, the Contractor shall provide all of the same documentation as previously mentioned in this paragraph prior to them being used for work under the contract. There is no requirement for a specific number of drivers and vehicles to perform this contract. Although historically this contract has been performed using four drivers and vehicles, the Contractor may use however many drivers and vehicles as is necessary to perform the requirements of the Statement of Work.

4. All drivers shall maintain a valid driver’s license for the type of vehicle operated as required by the State of Minnesota and/or Wisconsin. No later than 10/24/2025, the Contractor shall provide to the COR copies of valid driver’s licenses for each employee who will be performing the requirements of the contract as of commencement of the contract. For any employees who are hired to perform the requirements of the contract after the contract begins, the Contractor shall provide copies of valid driver’s licenses for each of those new employees prior to them beginning work under the contract.

6. Training:

a. The Contractor is required to provide training to their drivers and supply records of the training on an annual basis to the VA COR.

b. Each driver shall complete HIPAA and Blood Borne Pathogen training to include how to react to a spill event. No later than 10/24/2025, the Contractor shall provide to the COR proof of completion of HIPAA and Blood Borne Pathogen training for each employee who will be performing the requirements of the contract as of commencement of the contract. For any employees who are hired to perform the requirements of the contract after the contract begins, the Contractor shall provide proof of completion of HIPAA and Blood Borne Pathogen training for each of those new employees prior to them beginning work under the contract.
