A.1 PRICE SCHEDULE

ITEM INFORMATION

All preventative and corrective maintenance repairs, and software updates: 2 Epredia Excelsior AS Tissue Processors, 4 Leica CM1850 Cryostats, 1 Leica CV5030 Coverslipper, 1 Leica Autostainer, 1 Sakura Coverslipper-4740, 2 Sakura Tek 6 Embedding Centers, 4 Epredia HM355S Microtomes, 4 Epredia Slidemate AS Slide Printers

CONTINUATION PAGE

Paragraph B. 1 of the Performance Work Statement is corrected as follows:

1. This agreement includes all preventive maintenance, corrective maintenance repairs, and software updates:

Questions and Answers are as follows:

1. Will the award be for the full 60 months (5 Years) or will there be a Base Year and 4 Option Years as is typical?

-We are going away from option years and solicit for a full 60 months when we can. Each year will be funded on a separate task order with that year’s funding.

1. The Price/Cost Schedule requires a 60-month unit price. Should this unit price be the average monthly price over the entire 60-month term even if the pricing increases in future years?

-You should price this however you need to price it so that each month and year are the same for the full five years.

1. The Price/Cost Schedule notes an ACIST Contrast Injector. It also appears other places in the Solicitation, but it does not appear on the inventory of equipment to be serviced on pages 20 and 21. Is the reference to an ACIST Contrast Injector an error?

-I just spoke to the POC and the reference to the ACIST is in error. He was using a PWS from a previous solicitation and did not edit this (See correction above).

1. The Price/Cost Schedule lists only 8 items, however the inventory list of equipment to be serviced on pages 20 and 21 shows 19 items. Do you want the pricing to include all 19 items?

-I missed this. All the items should be included. I have attached a new CLIN description to this amendment. If there are any differences between the equipment listed in the CLIN and the PWS, the PWS listing takes precedence.
