QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

10 august 2026 Q.1 must the request vehicle be always equipped with a wheelchair ramp or only upon request? Because the vehicle must be prepared for disabled transport and four seats must be removed for each wheelchair that enters.

A.1. The vehicle does not need to be permanently equipped with a wheelchair ramp. However, upon request. The vehicle must be wheelchair accessible and properly configured to safely accommodate the passenger and wheelchair. The Soggiorno liaison will provide at least one week advance notice when wheelchair-accessible transportation is required.

11 august 2026 Q.2. Considering that using a coach equipped with a wheelchair ramp involves an additional preparation cost, how should we complete the offer table?

Can we enter the cost of the standard coach in the “Unit Price” column and add a note below indicating the additional cost for using the wheelchair ramp?

A.2. The proposed price must be an all-inclusive firm-fixed price that accounts for all costs necessary to perform the services, including the potential need to provide a coach equipped with a wheelchair ramp or other accessibility-related accommodation.

Although the Government cannot quantify in advance the number of passengers who may require such accommodation, offerors should account for the potential occurrence of such an event and the associated costs in their proposed price.

Therefore, offerors should not enter only the cost of a standard coach and add the wheelchair-ramp cost separately in a note. Any such costs must be included in the applicable Unit Price. No separate reimbursement or price adjustment will be provided for these costs.
