- Description
- The purpose of Amendment 02 is to extend the deadline for offers to 5:00 p.m., EDT., on October 24, 2007. Specifically, last paragraph of Solicitation is hereby replaced with the following: "Offers are to be received by no later than 5:00 p.m., EDT, on October 24, 2007, at Millennium Challenge Corporation, 875 Fifteenth Street, NW, Washington, DC, 20005. Fax or e-mail quotes are also acceptable. Fax number: (202) 521-3947 or e-mail: evansoo@mcc.gov. Point of Contact: Olena O. Evans, Contract Specialist (phone: 202-521-3647)." range for their purchase and transportation. Answer 9: The requirement is to facilitate the transfer. Question 10: Under the Deliverables heading, item F. refers to several service tasks the contractor is expected to perform, including making reservations for airlines, hotels, and other travel services; assist in replacing passports, tickets, and other important documents; providing immediate translation services; and arranging for the replacement of corrective lenses or medical devices. Once again, is contractor expected to pay for the above items, including tickets, hotel rooms, or new eyeglasses without any reimbursement from the MCC or traveler themselves? Answer 10: The RFP states that these are services that the contractor should provide, with no expectation of the company covering the actual costs of the items. Question 11: Also under item F., it states that the contractor will provide medical referrals for worldwide medical and dental care. Is the selection of physicians and dentists, and the payment of the medical and dental bill, the obligation of the contractor or the patient? Answer 11: The requirement is to provide the services of referring physicians and dentists and assisting with any payment problems. The actual payment is the responsibility of the individual. Question 12: Will the MCC provide a list of employees and eligible family members to the contractor prior to beginning the term of the agreement? Will the list include pertinent information related to emergency contacts, medical history, permanent and temporary residences, primary care physicians, and other medical information? Is there any upper age limit to the population covered? Answer 12: No. Question 13: Is the contractor under any specific obligation to deploy their own personnel if at all possible to accompany the sick or injured traveler during their evacuation from their point of origin all the way back to their destination hospital? Frequently, international medical evacuations may require multiple carriers and transfers of the patient from service to service as they are brought across the globe back to their home hospital of choice. With these transfers of care, it is frequently advantageous and medically appropriate to have a "medical escort" who can accompany the patient from start to finish making sure they are getting the finest level of care. Is this something that the MCC would require of their contractor? Answer 13: No. Question 14: This RFP seems to specify that you are just looking for a contractor who can provide a "hospital-to-hospital" evacuation. Is there any specific requirement for search and rescue capability? What would happen if one of your travelers was in a remote region and became ill or injured? Would you like the contractor to have the ability to provide their own search and rescue personnel to perform an actual field evacuation of the traveler, or would you just leave it to the injured party to try and perform their own self-rescue to get to a hospital for eventual evacuation? If possible, should these search and rescue personnel have any specific background experience, such as military special-forces, and should they be actual direct employees of the contractor, or would you accept whatever local provider a contractor can pull out of a phonebook? Answer 14: Search and rescue are not a requirement under the Statement of Work. However, the contractor should have the ability to provide whatever needs of transport is required - with appropriate medical support - to move the injured party from a remote location to an appropriate medical venue. 2. Last paragraph of Solicitation is hereby replaced with the following: "Offers are to be received by no later than 5:00 p.m., EDT, on October 29, 2007, at Millennium Challenge Corporation, 875 Fifteenth Street, NW, Washington, DC, 20005. Fax or e-mail quotes are also acceptable. Fax number: (202) 521-3947 or e-mail: evansoo@mcc.gov. Point of Contact: Olena O. Evans, Contract Specialist (phone: 202-521-3647)."
