subject: Ophthalmology Supplies for Goose Creek, SC CBOC.

1. The purpose of this amendment is to provide clarity on the following:

a. Instrument Table (small table and wheelchair accessibility)

b. Chair Mover

c. CBOC Building Diagram (includes square footage of each room).

2. Refer to Pages 2 and 3 for additional information.

QUESTION:

The Service Line point of contact / end user mentioned that the instrument table needs to accommodate wheelchair patients and that the chair glide system needs to be on wheels and not on rails. Amendment 3 states that “wheelchair accessibility will not be an issue” regarding the VA’s need for the tables and the CLIN 20 of the RFQ is for the Reliance 942 which is a chair glide on rails—not wheels. Is the VA requesting an instrument table that can accommodate wheelchair patients, and do they want a chair glide on wheels or rails?

ANSWER:

Instrument Table (small table and wheelchair accessibility): The service line has options to get measurements for patients that are wheelchair bound. The end user’s question was out of pure curiosity and relied on my experience as a technician. There are ways to help wheelchair patients to a piece of equipment on a table that is not expressly designed to accommodate a wheelchair.

Regarding the chair mover:

The service line representative was assured by one of the manufacturers identified during market research, that the item listed was the small chair mover with wheels. As the service line representative does not have access to their entire product line, the service line representative had to rely on their word. Below is a picture of the item being requested.

QUESTION:

If it is allowable, would I be able to visit the Goose Creek clinic to get a sense of the size of the rooms? I live in 20 minutes away in Charleston.

ANSWER:

The clinic is being constructed. The CO will work with the service line to get dimensions for the exam room(s) and will post those with the amendment. Attached is a copy of the floor plan layout that provides the square footage for each room at the facility but does not include dimensions. The CO determined the question requested a visit of the facility to “sense of the size of the rooms”, the floor plan addresses this question.
