- Description
- The purpose of this modification to the previous solicitation notice is to publish the answers to questions received concerning this. All other terms and conditions remain the same. 1.How many days of shooting does the VA anticipate? We are relying on the vendor to determine this. 2.Since the number of days shooting is a function of the number of vignettes or case studies, could you provide an estimate of the number of vignettes for the 60-minute video? 3 3.How many different locations will be used in the shoots--just the Boston VA facilities, or other locations as well? Filming will not necessarily be on site at the Boston VA (Language in the RFQ: It is possible that filming may be done on-site at the Boston VA, particularly if "real" experts are included, but if it meets the needs of the project, filming at a contractor's location may be preferable. ) For the purposes of the training, there will not be any particular need to have multiple sites be visible/be a part of the video. 4.Does the VA expect the proposed simple, complex, and very sophisticated versions of the video to reflect different numbers of days shooting, different levels of quality, or both? No 5.Does the VA require or expect a certain number of crew members on the shoots? No 6.Approximately how many actors does the VA believe will be needed for the video? Will VA personnel other than "experts" be available to be used as participants/actors? Part of the contract is to help us operationalize the content into a script - that involves planning whether to use case vignettes, panel discussions, etc. Only experts will be available; the vendor will be responsible for all other actors. 7.Will the video be expected to be shown in its entirety at one viewing, or should it be divided into 3 or 4 segments for convenience of viewing by VA personnel? Either is fine. 8.Will the 60-minute video be a stand-alone training program, or will it be used as part of a blended training session (face-to-face with supplementary material from the video)? Designed to be stand-alone. 9.If filming occurs at the Boston VA facility, is there a filming studio on-site with lighting, green screen, etc.? There is no filming studio on site. 10.Should we assume that a narrator will be needed to make training points explicit and to tie the case studies together? Yes, this will be part of turning the content into a script. 11.Our assumption is that the video should be captioned--is that correct? Yes 12.Is this a new requirement, and if not, is there an incumbent? This is a new project. 13.What is the relationship of this procurement with the previous VA241-12-Q-0617, Online Training for Medical Providers on Women Veterans and Trauma? No relationship 14.We understand that if "real" experts are required to be used the VA will provide access to them. Would we also need to price in their time/services? If so what base rate (fee for their services) should we use? Or are these military/government experts? No need to pay the experts. 15.What is the level of education and experience with MST of the target audience (mental health clinicians)? They'll be mental health clinicians; we expect they'll have a base level of knowledge related to MST but we hope this video will help them take it to the next level - covering issues related to case conceptualization, themes that come up in treatment, ways in which the experience of MST is different from other traumas, etc
