02-24-2026 Site Visit Questions and Answers Question 1: Contractor will be responsible for adhering/implementing all infection control requirements as determined by the infection control risk assessment (ICRA).

We provide up to Level II ICRA measures as standard. If measured above Level II will be required, please confirm the total number of rooms and the specific ICRA level applicable so that we can accurately incorporate those requirements into our pricing.

Historically, Level II has been sufficient in VA installations; however, escalation to Level III or above significantly impacts cost and scheduling, so clarification is needed.

Answer: The Lifts located in our ICU department (total of two) fall under level III ICRA. The rest will be under Level II.

Question 2: Each room where lifts are installed shall be returned to original condition, excluding the newly installed ceiling lift. Holes in the wall must be patched with appropriate materials. Any damaged ceiling tiles must be provided and replaced by the contractor. New ceiling tiles must match existing. Ceiling tile information will be provided by VA engineering team.

For rooms with hardpan ceilings, will drywall repair and painting be the responsibility of the VA or the awardee?

Answer: Drywall repair and painting will be the responsibility of the awardee. The contractor must ensure that each room is returned to its original condition, excluding the newly installed ceiling lift. This includes patching holes with appropriate materials and replacing any damaged ceiling tiles.

Question 3: Ceiling lift motors shall be capable of lifting at least 650, or more pounds, as specified on the Location list.

The price cost schedule calls out a 605-pound capable motor. Please confirm whether the required specification is 605 lbs. or 650 lbs.

Answer: The required specification for the ceiling lift motor capacity is 650 pounds.

Question 4: Maintenance and inspection shall be provided for 3 years from date of final acceptance.

Please confirm whether this requirement includes annual preventative maintenance for each lift.

Answer: Yes, the requirement includes annual preventative maintenance for each lift for three years from the date of final acceptance.

Question 5: Provide three (3) years of warranty on tracks, installation, motors, and other parts including the price of parts, labor and travel, or ten (10) years of warranty as long as the manufacturer is performing the preventative maintenance annually.

Should the quote include the 10-year warranty and 10-year preventative maintenance?

Answer: The Quote Should also include the ten-year warranty. Not the 10-year preventative maintenance.

Question 6: During the walkthrough, it was mentioned that there were to be 10 additional lifts being added to the solicitation. Will the solicitation be revised to reflect this or should we quote based on the 106 lifts currently listed?

Answer: The solicitation will be revised to include an additional 6 lifts, not the 10 mentioned during the site visit. Please revise the quote to reflect a total of 112 lifts.
