Marshand Boone Contracting Officer 36C24218Q9632 Amendment 1

1. The SOW specs a Philips Ingenia MRI, but the detailed system specs are a combination of Philips and Siemens specs? Can we quote a Siemens system?

Answer: The Government requires Philips Ingenia only.

1. The VA will supply all personnel (technologists). The system being removed is a Siemens. The system requested is a Philips (unless we can quote Siemens). There is no technologist training listed if the interim system is a Philips. Will the VA require Philips training?

Answer: Yes, the Government will require Philips training.

1. The coach – those dimensions indicate a trans-relocatable building not a true mobile Van. Would you accept a mobile MRI Van dimensions ~ 48’X8’6”X13’6”?

Answer: Yes, the Government will accept those dimensions.

1. Patient digital communication & entertainment system. Those have to be customer installed, if awarded can we install this product on site?

Answer: Yes, the product can be installed on site.

1. Pg. 14 states that the vendor is responsible for the removal of the retired Siemens Symphony system. Is this correct, the awarded company must remove the existing MRI?

Answer: Yes, the awardee must remove the existing MRI.

1. Quote, preparation instructions you request “Past Performance”. Can we assume you only what reference information and not completed questionnaires?

Answer: Yes, references only are required, not completed questionnaires.

1. In parts of NY, Facilities using mobile Imaging vans are required to have a special permit. Does this VA location require the permits and if so does the VA have the permitting? It has been a while but it is my understanding you cannot move the mobile in place until the permit has been issued?

Answer: Yes, this VA location requires permits.
