121453 O5 - Solicitation Addendum 4 (Schedule of Events).docx

This document is a Solicitation Addendum for a Nurse Communication Devices procurement by the State of Nebraska, specifically for the Central Nebraska Veterans Home (CNVH). The solicitation seeks a comprehensive vendor to provide and integrate 110 smart screen and 45 non-screen communication devices, replacing the existing DiGi system while interfacing with the current Rauland V Nurse Call System. The revised schedule of events indicates a "Notification" of Intent to Award will be posted on September 1, 2025 (updated to September 8, 2025), with electronic solicitation responses originally due on August 12, 2025, at 2:00 P.M. Central Time. A mandatory project site visit was scheduled for July 16, 2025. The contract term is set for four years, with options to renew for two additional two-year periods.

The procurement process includes a detailed evaluation methodology allocating 100 total points across Corporate Overview (25 points), Technical Response (55 points), and Cost Sheet (20 points), with potential additional points for oral interviews. The solicitation suggests potential preference for Nebraska vendors, resident disabled veterans, or businesses in designated enterprise zones. The current technological infrastructure includes an ASCOM wireless phone system, Versus Real Time Locating System, and an Accutech wander management system, which the new communication devices must successfully integrate. Vendors are required to provide comprehensive documentation, including shop drawings, submittals, warranty documents, and as-built drawings. Pricing is expected to remain fixed for the initial two years, with any subsequent price increases requiring written notification to the State Purchasing Bureau at least 30 days in advance.
