https://www.va.gov/health/ Dept of Veterans Affairs carlton.lunsford@va.gov Contract Specialist This amendment is to clarify and answer questions as follows:

Solicitation close date and time is 8/28/2020 1:00pm EST.

Question: The statement of work doesn't mention an interval for the 7 samplings during the course of the year. How will this be determined and will we be able to draw all 15 locations in one visit?

Answer: The visits will be approximately 1 ½ to 2 months apart.

The Vendor will be called upon when the automated system detects a possible critical water supply issue. For example, dialysis system detects a possible issue.

The Tester will need to take possible samples Monday through Sunday. i.e. if the equipment detects a possible issue on Saturday, then the Tester will need to take samples on Sunday and results need to be reported to the hospital on Monday. This is to prevent a shut down of the hospital.

The Vendor is an Independent Tester, beyond the Manufacturer’s report, to ensure equipment is working properly and within standards.

Question: Will the person taking the samples be around COVID-19 patients.

Answer: No. Testing areas are in separate areas away from the patients.

If there are any questions or concerns, please contact Carlton Lunsford at carlton.lunsford@va.gov.

Thank you and have a great day, Carlton Lunsford
