Vendors must have their own schematics available on site at time of service.

The following stretchers will be covered:

1. Contractor is required to furnish all original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts and labor to provide maintenance of the Zoom Stretchers, in accordance with OEM guidelines. Contractor must have manufacturer certification to service and maintain the above equipment.

2. Contractor shall test the functionality of the equipment upon completion of repair. If this is a test for repair, the Test should ensure that damaged parts have been successfully repaired and all functions including, but not limited to those related to repaired parts, are operational. If this is a test for a routine PM service, inspection, etc., then the test should just ensure that the equipment is functioning within the guidelines of the OEM or the applicable standards (OSHA, ASSE, JCAHO, NEFP, etc).

3. Repair services, including support for recalls, will be provided at the request of the VA to diagnose and correct equipment malfunctions on a routine basis. All repairs shall be performed by a manufacturer-trained technician. Contractor will follow manufacturer's recommendations for PM, repair, calibration and modifications

4. Preventive maintenance: PMs will be scheduled in advance and conducted annually. It is the contractor's responsibility to schedule preventive maintenance as listed. PM procedures subscribed to must follow manufacturer’s specifications and must be documented and submitted in writing to biomedical engineering. Upon completion of PM procedures, an applicable label should be applied to the unit, indicating the date of PM performance, the next date following PM is due, as well as the initials of the individual that performed the PM.

Downtime will accumulate until the scheduled equipment is returned to full and usual operation and accepted as such by the contracting officer, contracting technical representative or designated alternate. If downtime exceeds sixteen (16) consecutive hours, the contracting officer may exercise the option to hire and alternate source to resolve the problem. The decision to exercise this alternative will reside exclusively with the contracting officer. All fees generated by the alternate contractor(s) will be handled in accordance with default clause.
