Peters VA Medical Center 130 West Kingsbridge Road Bronx NY 10468-3904 Carlton Lunsford Contract Specialist carlton.lunsford@va.gov Northport VA Medical Center 79 Middleville Road Northport, NY 11768 VA.gov Dept of Veterans Affairs carlton.lunsford@va.gov carlton.lunsford@va.gov Q&A for Dental Waterline Testing dated: 9/12/2018 – 632-19-1-6048-0025

The purpose of this amendment is to provide answers to questions by interested Vendors. Please see below. The closing date will be extended to be September 14, 2018 at 1:00 pm, EST.

No more questions shall be accepted after this posting.

Q1. SimPlate analytical method for testing Dentals waterline will be acceptable.

Note: the winning vendor needs to be EPA and/or State Certified.

A1. SimPlate analytical method is acceptable.

Q2. It is not clear in the RFQ how many tests are to be performed per quarter. The price schedule just has 4 quarters listed for quantity and the SOW says "40 TO 50 WATER SAMPLES WILL BE TAKEN AS PER THE ENCLOSED “SAMPLE” LAB REPORTS FOR EACH CAMPUS". There are no lab reports provided, nor is there any indication as to how many campuses there might be, so I am not certain if it is 40 or 50 per quarter or one of those multiplied a number of campuses.

A2. Dental chairs to be tested-12 Water samples per chair-3 Main Reservoir- 1

Q3. Can you please provide a definitive number of samples that are to be collected each quarter? It needs to be clear so all bidders are submitting pricing for the same quantity of tests.

A3. Sample report attached.
