Description

The combined synopsis/solicitation is amended to provide answers to questions received. The response date is extended to January 27, 2011, 1:00 PM MT. No further questions will be accepted. Question 1: Response date of January 21, 2011 is indicated, but what time will the proposals be due on that date? Answer: Response date is extended to January 27, 2011 1:00 PM MT. Question 2: How many copies of the proposal need to be submitted? Do you want both paper and CD? Answer 2: 1 copy is sufficient (email or paper). Question 3: Is there an incumbent? If so, who is it? Answer 3: We have been issuing BPA Calls or open market purchase orders to several contractors. Most recent over the past year were US Radiology On-Call and NRG. Question 4: CLIN 1001 indicates "Night CT, NUC MED, MRI Exams 4,000 Each"...do you want just one price for all these type of modalities? The cost for these modalities is a pretty wide range. Can we price these individually? If so, in what quantities per modality? Answer 4: The CLINs are renumbered as follows (all quantities are estimates only): 0001NIGHT CT4000EACH 0002 NUC MED100EACH 0003MRI EXAMS200 EACH 0004NIGHT XRAY EXAMS8500 EACH 0005CONTRACTING MANPOWER REPORT 1 EACH 1001NIGHT CT4000EACH 1002NUC MED100EACH 1003MRI EXAMS200EACH 1004NIGHT XRAY EXAMS8500 EACH 1005CONTRACTING MANPOWER REPORT 1 EACH 2001NIGHT CT4000EACH 2002NUC MED100EACH 2003MRI EXAMS200EACH 2004NIGHT XRAY EXAMS8500 EACH 2005CONTRACTING MANPOWER REPORT 1 EACH 3001NIGHT CT4000EACH 3002NUC MED100EACH 3003MRI EXAMS200EACH 3004NIGHT XRAY EXAMS8500 EACH 3005CONTRACTING MANPOWER REPORT 1 EACH 4001NIGHT CT4000 EACH 4002NUC MED100EACH 4003MRI EXAMS200EACH 4002NIGHT XRAY EXAMS8500 EACH 4004CONTRACTING MANPOWER REPORT 1 EACH 4005CONTRACTING MANPOWER REPORT 1 EACH Question 5: Does WBAMC have a preference for how to submit the price? Without an attached price schedule, we can format an Excel spreadsheet for submission, but we want to make sure it is presented to your preferences. Answer 5: There is no preference over pricing format. Excel, PDF, and Word are acceptable Question 6: Can we see a history of the volumes for the last 12 months by modality? Answer 6: This information is not available. Question 7: Section 5.2 in the PWS states that currently, WBAMC does not expect to send out MRIs, but that may change in the future. If that does change, will we have an opportunity to modify the contract to price for the MRIs? Answer 7: See Answer 4 above for MRI line items with estimated quantities. Question 8: Section 5.3 discusses Peer Reviews in support of diagnostic interpretations...is this the same as the Quality Assurance discussed in Section 5.19? Answer 8: No, these are separate requirements. Question 9: Section 5.10 mentions Ultrasound, but there is no item in the CLINs for Ultrasounds. Should Ultrasounds be priced also? Answer 9: Ultrasound exam reading services will not be part of this contract. The Performance Work Statement (PWS) is revised to remove any mention of Ultrasound. Question 10: Section 1.4.1 says the coverage period is from 5:00 PM to 7:00 AM 365 days a year, but Section 5.15 says the coverage is from 4:00 PM to 8:00 AM, and both are MST. Plus, 5.15 says 24 hours coverage on weekends, training holidays and federal holidays, while 1.4.1 doesn't state as such. Could you please clarify the Hours of Performance? Answer 10: The Coverage period will be seven days a week, 365 days a year including Holidays. The required availability of Tele-Radiology service will be from 16:00 to 08:00 the following morning. The Performance Work Statement (PWS) is revised to correct the hours (see amended PWS). Question 11: Will a SF 1449 be issued for signing? Answer 11: No, the combined synopsis/solicitation clearly states "This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a separate written solicitation will not be issued." Question 12: Is this requirement set aside for total small business or are large businesses eligible to respond and be considered? Answer 12: As stated in the announcement, this is 100% small business set-aside, therefore only small businesses will be considered. Question 13: Does the place of performance for this solicitation require me to be in Texas or to only have current medical licensure in the state of Texas? Answer 13: The place of performance requirements and the medical licensure requirements are included in the performance work statement. Question 14: Can you please tell me if this is a new requirement? If not, who is the incumbent, and what are the current rates? Answer 14: The incumbents are listed above in Answer 3. I am not able to release their rates.
