JANINE CHILDS

CONTRACT SPECIALIST

Question #1: For this proposal do you want a cost breakdown for transportation, applications training, and hard drive replacement?

Answer: The line items of the solicitation are based upon a monthly cost. How costs are distributed is up to the vendor. However, in accordance with 52.212-1(e) the offeror can present alternative line times.

Question #2: For this proposal would it be acceptable to deliver an MRI system (GE 23X HDXT) as early as Friday 30 March?

Answer: Due to internal review processes, it is unlikely that an award will be made before the first week of April. Offerors can propose to have the system in place sooner; however it is not an evaluation factor.

Question #3: Please clarify the hours, days of week the technologists are to work.

Answer: Monday- Friday (7am- 5:30pm) and Saturday (8am-4:30pm)

Question #4: How many technologists will be working during scan hours?

Answer: 2

Question #5: Are you able to fast track VETPRO?

Answer: Yes, if required

Question #6: If we are to provide MRI TECHNOLOGISTS, then what is the need for applications training?

Answer: The applications training technologist is needed to teach department technologists the platform of the mobile MRI. This is necessary for any type of change in platform since all magnets and vendors do not operate similar.
