PA016-22, Provision of Registered Dietician Services on an Annual Contract

QUESTIONS:

Q1. What is the effective/start date for this project?

A1. April 16, 2022 or upon award.

Q2. Where will I find the questionnaire or guide to input responses?

A2. The invitation to quote includes all of the required documentation. There is no questionnaire or guide to input responses.

Q3. Is this a first-time role or a replacement?

A3. This contract will replace an existing annual contract.

Q4. What number of hours will this contracted role be utilized?

A4. Between the various quarterly meetings, menu planning and analysis completion, nutrition education and wellness activities, and counseling, the time could vary based on the need at that time. There is no set number of hours as long as the awarded vendor can fulfill all contract requirements.

Q5. Can you estimate the number of hours you want the contracted Dietician onsite? And, off site?

A5. The quarterly menu meetings with the Centers will be on site for approximately one hour each quarter. Additional onsite work and meetings may be required and shall be coordinated with the Health and Human Services Division of the Department of Community Services.

Q6. Was your previous Dietician paid hourly or what frequency?

A6. One-time fixed monthly payments.

Q7. Do you consider this role 5 days a week?

A7. No

Q8. How many locations will the Dietician be required to serve in the role?

A8. The County currently has four sites for the Congregate program and approximately 550 home delivered meals (HDM) clients.

Q9. When we quote for this role, do you expect that we will include mileage, meals, lodging

(if necessary)? Or are the ancillary expenses to be handled internally by Gwinnett County outside of the contracted rate?

A9. There will be no additional expenses paid by Gwinnett County outside of the quoted monthly payment.

Q10. Are there specific details regarding this role that are most important to Gwinnett

County? Examples: works weekends, flexible with hours, shift work, other.

A10. The biggest component is the menu analysis each quarter that Gwinnett County turns in to the State. The menu is the same for three months, so menu analysis occurs four times a year (once each quarter). The quarterly menu meeting with our Seniors occurs the month before the menu/analysis is due and typically lasts for one hour. Some referrals will be made via email for Center and HDM clients. These will require phone follow up from the registered dietician to the referred client. The County will utilize the registered dietician for Wellness talks in the Centers, which occur during the week and are pre-scheduled. However, Gwinnett County shall review and ensure that the selected dietician meets all contract requirements.
