Questions re RFR 225827 Emotional Health Programs 9/29/2023
1. In the application there is a Location of Proposed Service. Is this where I list the names and addresses of the nursing homes where the robots will be used?
>>Yes please
Can I write the Program Name once: "Robot for alleviating loneliness and engaging nursing home residents" and then list the nursing homes and their address by copying the Program Address for each nursing home?
>>Yes
2. Where can I find the attached Vendor Activation Folder? (VENDACT) >> The VendAct folder is part of the Commbuys posting. It is a folder included in the attachments on Commbuys under RFR 225827. HOWEVER, these forms can now be completed virtually once the vendor is awarded a contract, they do not need to be submitted with the response. They are also only for vendors not already set up in the Commonwealth’s system.
3. Re the SDP commitment - I am assuming that I need to pick from the SDP directory? Is that the case? Do I need to get a letter from each SDO I plan to engage?
>> Yes, you do need to pick from the SDP directory, however, you do not need to provide a letter from each SDO. The information must be completed and submitted with the SDP form included in the folder.
4. Can we use the NIH biosketch format as the CV? Is there a limit on the length of the CV of the key personnel?
>>Yes, the NIH biosketch format is acceptable and preferred over a very long CV.
5. There is a question 8 about subcontractors in the form. We use no subcontractors. Are the SDPs considered a subcontractor and I need to list them here?
>>No the SDPs are not subcontractors. You may have no subcontractors, if that is appropriate for your application, and that does not affect your evaluation by the review committee.
6. Question 9 in the document is the Program budget but in the attachments, you are also asking for a program budget. Are these two different documents?
>>We ask that you include a spreadsheet budget as well as a budget justification style description of roles for staff and justifications for other costs – equipment, supplies, travel, etc.
7. Where do I upload the letters of support from the 12 nursing homes and a letter of support from the largest nursing home organization in the country?
>>The letters of support can be included at the end of your application – save as 1 PDF.
