The Contractor shall provide the BOP with the communication method of contacting the Contractor on a twenty-four (24) hour per day basis. The Contracting Officer (CO) shall notify the Contractor if the proposed method of communication is not acceptable.

If an inmate being transported declines to be properly belted, he/she will not be transported. If the patient removes the securing devices during the trip, the driver will take all precautions to secure the patient. The Contractor is not required to transport inmate who refuses to be properly secured while being transported.

Contractor drivers shall ensure proper loading/unloading techniques are followed at all times. Inmates in wheelchairs shall be loaded onto ramps, ensuring all safety systems are working properly, e.g. roll back stops, and the driver must ride the lift with the patient during loading/unloading. Patients in motorized scooters MUST transfer to a vehicle seat. NO inmate shall be allowed to ride a motorized cati (scooter) on the vehicle lift at ANY time. The contractor shall ensure that drivers receive appropriate safety training on loading/unloading techniques, and such training shall be documented and made available.

For pick-ups and drop-offs at the BOP and associated hospital sites, patients will be picked up and dropped off in the main lobby, or designated location, of the respective sites with the escorting Correctional Officer. Contractor may occasionally be requested to pick up the patient from a specific clinic location or room. For pick-ups and drops offs of inmates at other facilities, the Contractor will provide door to door service. All inmates shall be attended by authorized Correctional staff at all times. Assistance in maneuvering stairs and other barriers shall be provided by the driver and/ or authorized attendant when necessary. When the inmate is delivered to a clinical destination (i.e., hospital, clinic, rehabilitation center or other clinical appointment), an authorized care giver or medical staff at the destination must be informed of the patient's arrival by the Contractor's driver or authorized Correctional officer. Contractor is to transfer or "hand-off' the inmate to the next person responsible for their care as indicated for specific inmates.

The Contractor's driver (or authorized attendant) shall observe the inmate during transport. Any indication of a significant change in the inmate’s condition (i.e., sudden onset of rapid or labored respiration, complaints or chest pains, etc.) shall be communicated to 911 as needed.

Diversion from destination shall only be authorized by the COR, BOP Clinical Director, Warden or another BOP authorized designee. All diversions from destination will be reported to the BOP staff in charge.

The COR/designee shall be notified within one (1) hour of the occurrence of the incident(s) by telephone and, if requested by the COR/designee and/or Contracting Officer, a written report of the incident(s) will be delivered to the COR/designee by close of business the next working day.

Drivers shall not make non-emergent stops for any reason, during any inmate transport under this contract.

When more than one inmate is transported on a trip, whether it is to the same destination or to separate destinations, reimbursement will be made at the rate not exceeding the cost of transporting a single patient.

However, the longest distance over which an inmate is transported may be claimed when more than one inmate is transported concurrently. The Contractor must ensure that the pick-ups and drop-offs are scheduled so that the total distance traveled will result in the most economical charge to the Government.

15BGCS26Q00000065 Page 8 of 47

• Soliciting or accepting tips from patients, companions, or others at any time.

The BOP reserves the right to bar any driver from transporting inmates should he/she violate any terms of this contract.

All Contractor's drivers shall maintain a valid operator or chauffeur's license, required to operate the type of vehicle necessary to perform the service, as required by the State of North Carolina. Contractor shall provide, upon request of the Contracting Officer, a copy of the valid licenses and certifications of all drivers performing under this contract.

15BGCS26Q00000065 Page 9 of 47 the Contractor or Contractor's personnel while said persons are at or on the grounds of the institution. Any fraternization between contractor employees and BOP employees is strictly prohibited.

ORDERS:

The Contractor shall ensure that requests for services are received from authorized medical center personnel. Services rendered in response to requests from other than authorized personnel shall be at the risk of the Contractor and any cost related thereto shall be borne by the Contractor.

Missed Appointments: In the event that a patient misses his/her scheduled appointment due to pick up delay, the BOP shall reschedule the trip at no cost to the BOP. If additional charges are incurred by the Contractor for the rescheduled trip said additional charges shall be the responsibility of the contractor. The BOP shall notify the contractor when these cases are identified.

The Contractor shall maintain a record of all trips (scheduled on the travel log or add-on) and provide a printed report that includes the inmate's name, date and time of each trip, mileage, and/or any authorized additional charges. The printed report shall accompany the invoice for each billing cycle. The Contractor shall contact the COR/designee with any questions, requests for clarification, or the need for additional information during the hours of 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

During irregular tour of duty (4:00 p.m. to 7:30 a.m.), the Contractor shall contact the appropriate staff at the BOP. The Contractor shall provide a breakdown no later than the 5th of each month with the prior month's trips and associated costs (mileage, pick up time, drop off time) per patient. This report shall be in excel format and emailed to the COR. If emailing is not possible, the report shall be faxed or mailed.

Requests for add-on trips (orders placed for same day service) not initially recorded on the travel log will be by telephone from BOP. If the Contractor fails to furnish services within a reasonable time (established as 45 minutes) after receiving an add-on request for an order, the BOP reserves the right to obtain the services from another source and to charge the Contractor with an excess cost which may result. In instances of add-on trips that are over 100 miles, the BOP may allow some flexibility in the 45-minute response time. The BOP will be the sole judge in determining when to order service from another source.

In cases of inclement weather, the decision as to whether or not an inmate will be transported will be made mutually by the BOP and the Contractor.

The Contractor shall notify the BOP of the estimated time of arrival for any vehicle in-route to pick up an inmate, or any inmate loaded vehicle in-route to a specific destination. The Contractor shall also notify the BOP, by telephone, at least an hour in advance in the event that the Contractor is unable to provide the scheduled or add-on trips within the time frame necessary for the inmate to maintain their scheduled appointment.

If the BOP authorizes the Contractor to transport more than one inmate on a trip to the same destination separate destinations, reimbursement will be made at the rate not exceeding the cost of transporting a single patient. However, the longest distance over which an inmate is transp01ied may be claimed when more than one patient is transported concurrently. The Contractor must ensure that the pick-ups and drop-offs are scheduled so that the total distance traveled will result in the most economical charge to the Government.
