DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY U.S. ARMY MEDICAL COMMAND HEALTH CARE ACQUISITION ACTIVITY CONTRACTING CENTER 2107 17th Street, BUILDING 4197 FORT SAM HOUSTON, TEXAS 78234-5015 REPLY TO ATTENTION OF May 13, 2002 Direct Healthcare Provider Branch To All Offerors on Pre-Solicitation DADA10-02-R-0015 This is Letter Amendment ?A? to Pre-Solicitation DADA10-02-R-0014. All offerors must acknowledge receipt of this Amendment by completing the information on Enclosure 1 of this letter and submitting it with their offer. If an offeror has already submitte d its offer, it must still submit the last page of this letter acknowledging this amendment prior to the current Pre-Solicitation closing date, May 20, 2002. The following amendments are made to this Pre-Solicitation as announced on FedBizOps. Addendum to 52.212-1, SECTION Va (2) is changed in its entirety to read: The offeror shall submit a separate Compensation Plan for each of the sample pricing requirements as the basis of the task order proposal. Compensation Plans shall be submitted in detail for the base contract year. For any option or award-term years, pr ovide only the base wage rate. Addendum 52.212-2, Subfactor E3, the existing last sentence is deleted. The following paragraph is added: The use of non-compete conditions in employment agreements (to prevent loss of personnel by the contractor) effective only during the period of task order performance is acceptable. However, the use of non-compete conditions in employment agreements that prevent employees of the incumbent from being employed, or accepting offers of employment, by the new contractor on the follow-on task order is unacceptable. It hinders the government?s ability to accomplish the mission of providing medical care to benefi ciaries. Inclusion of such conditions in an employer?s employment agreement will result in an offeror?s offer being unacceptable. Awardees, and their subcontractors, may not include such conditions (preventing employment on the follow-on task order) whil e performing any task order awarded under this contract. 52.216-4 Economic Price Adjustment (EPA)(DEVIATION), paragraph 1, first sentence is replaced with: Economic Price Adjustment terms will only apply to years three through five and award-term years under the task order. This clause is applicable to all task orders, unless stated otherwise in the task order. 52.216-4 Economic Price Adjustment (EPA)(DEVIATION), paragraph 1. The following is added as the second sentence: A Compensation Plan using the format in Addendum to 52.212-2 is required for task order proposals unless the task order specifies the EPA Clause is not applicable to the task order. 52.216-4 Economic Price Adjustment (EPA)(DEVIATION), paragraph 2, add the following: In the event of a disagreement between the Contracting Officer and the contractor over whether an EPA adjustment will be made, or the amount of such an adjustment, the Contracting Off icer will make the final determination. 52.216-4 Economic Price Adjustment (EPA)(DEVIATION), paragraph 3a is replaced in its entirety to read: EPA adjustments per line item will be based on the average wage/salary paid for that line item. The base wage rates submitted with the task order proposal will be the baseline for the adjustment in the year in which the adjustment occurs. When the contr actor requests an adjustment, the contractor must submit a revised compensation plan for the year in which the adjustment is effective and base wage rates for all remaining years. If the Contracting Officer approves the adjustment amount, the contractor w ill submit revised figures reflecting the approved amounts. Performance Based Work Statement, paragraph 1.5.7.1, the following sentence is added: The COR or contract HCP?s supervisor may request contract employees believed to be impaired to submit to government provided drug/alcohol testing. If the employees refuse such testing, the Contracting Officer may request that the contractor replace the in dividual.
