- Description
- Vendor Questions/Concerns for: Wheelchair Van Services, 2237 #: 509-20-2-523-0005, RFQ: 36C24720R0012 1) There are no quantity numbers for pick-ups and mileage on B3 Price/Cost Schedule to submit a proper cost pricing on page 32.� Also, my experience in bidding on this type of solicitation is there are different pricing associated for a sedan and a wheelchair van. A contract may have a Hired Car Sedan and Wheelchair Van service broken out separately.� The wheelchair vehicle is a much heavier vehicle which requires more fuel associated with cost in compared with a sedan that doesn t.� ESTIMATES amount of Trips Wheelchair Transports� = �12,500 Mileage beyond 50 mile radius � = 247,500 Wait time after first 30 min. in 15 min. increments� = 200 Hired car� = 200 Hired car mileage beyond 50 mile radius = 10,000 Wait time after first 30 min. in 15 min. increments� = 100 2) I am interested in the forthcoming proposal solicitation for Augusta Wheelchair Transportation - Long Term. One of the requirements in the pre notice is ""Certified Provider of paratransit services in the State of Georgia"". I have done some preliminary research....and am unable to gather any information on this type of designation. Van you please assist me and provide me a source for this important requirement? It means their company is licensed in the state of Georgia as a legal vendor, nothing more. 3) Reference the subject pre-solicitation, I read that you are stating any submitting a proposal must have a Georgia Certification or be deemed non-responsive up submission.� I just spoke with the Georgia Department of Transportation and they stated for wheelchair transportation, a permit is not required if the vehicle does not seat 10 passengers plus the driver (11 personnel).� She stated as long as the company is registered in the State of GA properly, that is the only requirement.�Can you please specify your meaning of Georgia Certification?� It means their company is licensed in the state of Georgia as a legal vendor, nothing more. 4) Per DOL prevailing wage, contractors have moved from Taxi to Shuttle Driver throughout the country at the VA Hospitals, on page 52 of the solicitation do not state the classification a driver.� Can you provide if they are classified as Taxi or Shuttle Bus drivers for your services? They are shuttle drivers
