Scope of Requirement: The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Tibor Rubin Long Beach VA Hospital located at 5901 East 7th Street, Long Beach, CA 90822, is seeking a contractor to assist with the provision of temporary furnished housing placement and associated support services for UC Riverside Psychiatry Residents during their rotation at the Long Beach VA Hospital. The program is a partnership between the University of California Riverside Psychiatry Department and Long Beach VA Hospital/Office of Academic Affiliations, to temporarily house UCR Psychiatry residents during their inpatient Psychiatry rotation at Tibor Rubin Long Beach VA Hospital. Per VHA Directive 1400.09 (Section 13) and the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) requirements, LBVAHCS may furnish free quarters to medical and dental residents or students who serve short rotations (six months or less) at a VA medical facility and establish the need for a second residence because the substantial distance to the VA medical center makes community from the university affiliate impractical while the brevity of the training assignment rules out a permanent change of residence. VA Long Beach intends to engage a contractor to provide temporary furnished housing placement services in Long Beach, to include only those accommodations that provide full corporate housing amenities to include furniture, appliances, textiles, utilities, internet and/or Wi-Fi, onsite secure parking spaces, and monthly cleaning services. Accommodations must be within the limits of the City of Long Beach. VA shall provide safe, but not lavish, accommodations, with attention to internet access and other communications availability, reasonable access to food and provisions, and other requirements for daily living.
