Vendor Questions/Concerns for:

Pump Replacement / 36C24724Q0769 / Charleston, SC VA Medical Center

No information will be provided about the past or current contract.

It is stated in the solicitation that there is a 45 day period of performance. This is not possible if the pump is to be replaced with a new pump. I spoke with my representative at Bell & Gosset this morning and these pumps are a 3-4 month build time so that is impossible if this pump is to be replaced with a new pump and not rebuilt. Also, the pump comes on a skid, you cannot buy just the pump. They however do sell it minus motor so the existing motor will be just moved to the new skid. I just want to ensure that the period of performance can be extended because we cannot install it in that timeframe and nobody else can either if this is to be replaced with a factory new pump.

It is our understanding that this pump is to be replaced with a factory new pump and not rebuilt. Just want to ensure that we and all other bidders are on a level playing field and are bidding to procure a factory new pump and install the same.

Also, are you wanting a new pump/motor coupling installed at the same time? It is my recommendation that you do install a new coupling.

VA Service Line Response

The contract period of performance will be extended to 180 days after award.

The contract is to replace the pump with a factory new pump, NOT rebuilt. A new pump/motor coupling is to be installed as well.
