Physician Services

The contractor must have the ability to work with an inmate population from a variety of cultural, regional, racial and ethnic backgrounds.

The contractor shall be responsible for, but is not limited to:

Physician Services. These services will be rendered on-site for the inmate population at the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Terminal Island, located at 1299 Seaside Avenue, Terminal Island, CA 90731. General information about the facility is available .gov.

Services will be performed in the Health Service Department of the Federal Correctional Institution, 1299 Seaside Avenue, Terminal Island, California 90731.

The contract employee will work weekdays, Monday through Friday (Excluding Federal Holidays), eight sessions per day. A session is defined as one (1) hour.

The contract employee will normally work 6:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m., with a thirty (30) minute unpaid lunch break. However, the hours may be adjusted to meet the needs of the institution. This schedule is subject to change based upon the variable needs of the institution and the unpredictable nature of the correctional environment. Any changes in schedule or adjustments in sessions will require prior approval of the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) or the Health Service’s Administrator (HSA).

Payment for services will be based on actual scheduled sessions worked in accordance with terms and pricing of the BPA. The contractor shall receive a minimum of 2 hours pay for showing up on-site to work, unless they have been notified in advance, that they will not be able to work that day. The contract employee shall not work more than an estimated forty (40) hours per week.

For security purposes, each contract employee will sign the contractor log indicating the date of visit to the institution, along with the times of arrival and departure.

Due to the nature of the correctional setting, delays in performance of work may be experienced. Such delays may include but are not limited to inclement weather, electrical or mechanical problems, or other security matters. When contract employees report to the institution but are unable to perform services due to such delays, the contractor will be paid for one (1) session.

Normally, any remaining sessions for that day will be suspended and the contract employee will be free to leave. The contract employee will not be paid for the remaining non-performed sessions. However, if the institution COR or HSA requests that the contractor remain at the institution for eventual performance, the contract employee will be paid for such sessions. In the event of any absence, the contractor may make up his/her time so long as it does not exceed an estimated 40 hours in any given week.

If the contractor fails to provide coverage, the Government may seek contractual remedy.

All supplies that the contractor may routinely need shall be provided by the Health Service Department, at FCI Terminal Island. All records maintained by the contract employee under this BPA will remain the property of FCI Terminal Island.
