General Summary: Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, Network Contracting Office 5, is issuing this request for information/sources sought notice in order to identify vendors that are interested in and capable of providing Off-Site Shuttle Services at the Hershel "Woody" Williams VAMC located at 1540 Spring Valley Drive, Huntington WV, 25704. Description of Work: See attached Draft SOW for detailed information. INTRODUCTION The Hershel "Woody" Williams VAMC located at 1540 Spring Valley Drive, Huntington WV, 25704 needs shuttle services provided by a third-party vendor that allows pick-up and drop-off for students, residents, fellows, and Veteran patients of the medical center from the off-site overflow surface parking area and back. This will have a base period with 3 option years. BACKGROUND The parking garage at the Medical Center needs repairs, leading to currently closing three levels of the garage and eliminating approximately 240 parking spaces. Efforts to increase parking on the property are not enough to offset this loss. The facility already had a parking deficit with plans being developed to build a second garage; however, this will not be completed in time to alleviate current constraints since we are only in design phase. In addition to the current deficit, with the return to office order currently in effect, the Medical Center is expecting an influx of 350 vehicles. During the repairs to the parking garage, the property cannot accommodate this vehicle capacity. SCOPE OF WORK Vendor will provide all labor, material, equipment, tools, and supervision necessary to ensure the timely, safe, and efficient transportation to be utilized by students, residents, fellows, and Veteran patients of the VAMC in accordance with the work requirements below in section B.1 Work Requirements. The shuttle service will operate on a scheduled basis, providing transportation from designated pick-up points to drop-off locations.
