Description

Page 1 of 2 THIS IS A PRE-SOLICIATION NOTICE The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs requires non-emergent transportation service for the beneficiaries of the Department of Veterans Affairs, Tennessee Valley Healthcare System (TVHS), Nashville Campus, 1310 24th Avenue South, Nashville, Tennessee 37212, Murfreesboro Campus, 3400 Lebanon Pike, Murfreesboro, TN 37129, and Chattanooga Community Based Outpatient Clinic 6098 Debra Road Chattanooga, TN 37411 to include all federal holidays. Service shall include transportation to points within a 400-mile radius of the VA facilities. A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL WILL BE POSTED ON OR ABOUT May 15, 2017. DO NOT CALL PRIOR TO READING THE REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. Contractor shall furnish 24-hour, seven day per week, non-emergent transportation service for the beneficiaries of the Department of Veterans Affairs, Tennessee Valley Healthcare System, Nashville Campus, 1310 24th Avenue South, Nashville, Tennessee 37212; Murfreesboro Campus, 3400 Lebanon Pike, Murfreesboro, TN 37129; Chattanooga Community Based Outpatient Clinic 6098 Debra Road Chattanooga, TN 37411. Services shall include transportation during all federal holidays and shall include transportation to points within a 400-mile radius of the VA facilities included herein. The government reserves the right to make changes to listed resources prior to contract award and during contract performance. The contractor remains an independent contractor. The contractor will need to have the capacity to schedule up to 400 trips a month and handle significant fluctuations in actual trips (as low as 200). The contract company can expect trips to average about 400 per month. The contractor must be able to handle a similar number of trips per month in fiscal year 2018-2019. The VA experiences seasonal and demand changes that the contract company must respond to and accommodate. The actual trips less cancelations will vary and reduce the projected pickups. The trips include wheelchair, scooter, non-ambulatory and ambulatory patients of the hospital. The transportation service will primarily be conducted in the middle TN area, 24 hours a day (including holidays), 7 days a week. The transportation company will need to provide transports throughout Middle Tennessee, which will include trips to rural/remote areas of the region (example Trips to state of Kentucky), short mileage trips in middle Tennessee and Chattanooga area. The transportation cost is from point of pick-up to drop off location. The transport company must be able to transport all veterans regardless of size or weight. As mobility devices continue to be upgraded and improved (to accommodate increased weight and size) the contractor will need to remain abreast of these changes and upgrades and have vehicles and staff to meet the transportation needs of the Veteran population. Contractors are required to incorporate all charges in one cost per trip plus separate line item for mileage and management fee. The contractor shall not maintain any control or make any changes to VA personnel policies and matters. The contractor shall provide, at its own expense, all personnel requirements to perform the contract. Such contract workers shall not be employees of the VA. The contractor and subcontractors under the supervision of the contractor shall perform the entire contract services required hereunder. All personnel engaged in the performance of this transportation contract shall be fully qualified to perform such contract services. The contractor shall assign key personnel (such as safety manager, operations officer, dispatcher), with requisite experience to the contact. The Contractor will identify and hire an account manager. The account manager will be the Department s point of contact through which the parties will communicate, resolve, all contract accounts receivable, billing and invoicing. If the contractor terminates the employment of any key personnel or if the VA requests their removal, the contractor shall reassign personnel to the position within seven days of such action. The VA shall have the right to approve new key personnel, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. All contracted workers are subject to appropriate background investigations to include SORI and Cori checks and must abide by Federal HIPAA and VA information security regulation and policy. Background investigation costs shall be at the expense of the contractor.
