Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

To All Suppliers:

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania defines a solicitation “Addendum”” as an addition to or amendment of the original terms, conditions, specifications, or instructions of a procurement solicitation (e.g., Invitation for Bids or Request for Proposals).

List any and all changes:

1. RFP Part I, Section I-12 Proposals. The number of copies for the Technical Submittal is revised as follows: Offerors must provide one (1) original and ten (10) paper copies of the Technical Submittal for each lot.

2. The following is added to RFP Part II, Section II-5 Personnel:

For each institution, propose clinical staffing sufficient for the complete delivery of all services required under this RFP. Include a detailed staffing plan and pattern (position classifications and hours) for all shifts, including weekdays, weekends and holidays.

The Department has provided the current clinical staffing plan per site. The Offeror may propose a different clinical staffing plan. The Offeror should explain the rationale for the variation and how the variation will affect the delivery of services.

The Offeror shall also identify all other non-clinical personnel to be employed under the contract, either onsite at a facility or elsewhere. The submitted non-clinical staffing plan must include any other management positions.

The Offeror shall submit job descriptions for each proposed job classification that includes the necessary skills, education, licensure, experience etc. necessary to meet the qualifications for the job. Describe whether the position will be primarily or exclusively work at a specific work-site, and/or shift, or whether the position will have a Department wide focus.

3. The following is added to RFP Part IV, Section IV-4 B. Specialty Services:

7) Physical Therapy: Set forth a plan for maximizing on-site physical therapy services and minimizing off-site physical therapy services. The offeror will purchase and maintain basic equipment necessary for physical therapy onsite within the facilities, if not already at the facility.

4. RFP Part II, Proposal Requirements, paragraph A is revised by deleting “Technical Questionnaire” and is replaced with the following:

A. Technical Submittal, which shall be a response to RFP Part II, Sections II‑1 through II‑8; and the Electronic Medical Record Requirements and Questionnaire (Appendix C).

5. RFP Part IV, Section IV-7 Technical Questionnaire is deleted in its entirety from the RFP.

6. Appendix B-1 and Appendix B-2 are deleted from the RFP and are not required to be submitted with the Technical Submittal.

Attach this Addendum to your solicitation response. Failure to do so may result in disqualification.

Except as clarified and amended by this Addendum, the terms, conditions, specifications, and instructions of the solicitation and any previous solicitation addenda, remain as originally written.

Very truly yours, Name:
