36A77620Q0076 – Omaha Package 48 Patient Lifts Vendor Questions and Government Answers

February 27, 2020

Question 1: Could you please state how past performance will be reviewed? Does the vendor need to submit anything in regards to past performance?

Answer 1: The vendor is not required to submit any past performance information. CPARS will be checked for performance on past Government contracts, specifically those of similar scope and complexity.

Question 2: The solicitation requires independent structural drawings and verification that the lifts can be installed in the existing structure. Will there be a scheduled site visit to view the rooms where the lifts will be installed?

Answer 2: See RFQ attachments. Drawings are not required as part of the vendor’s quote but stamped engineered drawings will be required to be submitted after award and prior to installation. If the awardee wishes to schedule a site visit after award at no additional cost to the Government, the facility will accommodate.

Question 3: On Document 36A77620Q0076-010 (Lift Locations), Rooms G202, 1112, 1202, 1312, 1402, G112, G012 and 1012 state Bariatric Lift/Bariatric Toilet under Room Description, however, under Capacity they are not listed as Bariatric. Can you confirm if these rooms need a Bariatric Lift?

Answer 3: G202, 112, 1202, 1312, 1402 Bariatric lift not required.

Question 4: On the Price/Cost Schedule, many of the Item Descriptions are vague, can you list the corresponding Hill-Rom part number for each item?

Answer 4: This is a brand name or equal requirement and the Statement of Work and corresponding price schedule represents anticipated items that are not brand specific. The exact items a vendor will quote may vary based on the brand being quoted. However, please see new attachment 8 (Hill-Rom Part Numbers for Reference) for the part numbers used during the facility’s market research. NOTE: This document is not to suggest Hill-Rom is the only brand that will be acceptable; this is simply to provide vendors with the requested part numbers in order to use this information to sufficiently prepare their quote.

Question 5: On Document 36A77620Q0076-003 (Statement of Work), Item Number 0002 specifies Double Motors in Bariatric Rooms (17 EA). This need is because the Basis of Design manufacturer, Hill-Rom Liko, needs double motors to achieve the desired weight capacity (1000 LB) as outlined in the salient characteristics (page 7) for bariatric patient rooms. Can a vendor bid 17 single 1000LB motors and still meet the specification for CLIN 0002?

Answer 5: Yes. Weight capacity is what matters; not number of motors.

Question 6: Wondering if drawings are required?

Answer 6: Drawings are not required as part of the vendor’s quote but stamped engineered drawings will be required to be submitted after award and prior to installation.
