CONTINUATION OF QUESTION 1.

……..WITH NO RESIDUAL VALUE IN ALL CASES?

GOVT RESPONSE: NO, THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE END-OF-TERM OPTION. THE

CONTRACTOR IS TO INSTALL THE EQUIPMENT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE CONTRACT

PERIOD AND REMOVE THE EQUIPMENT AT THE END OF THE CONTRACT PERIOD.

2. QUESTION: PLEASE CLARIFY THE CONTRACTOR’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR

MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES UNDER SECTION 1.3; CONSIDERING SECTION 8.5.9, WHICH

STATES THAT THE GOVERNMENT WILL PROVIDE ALL SUPPLIES, INCLUDING BASIC

CONSUMABLES AND LINENS, REQUIRED TO PERFORM CT EXAMINATIONS.

GOVT RESPONSE: SUPPLIES/MATERIALS FOR YOUR EQUIPMENT (PHANTOM, ETC).

BASIC CONSUMABLES SUCH AS LINENS, PAPER TOWELS, BLANKETS,

WASTEBASKETS, ETC., ARE PROVIDED AT THE SITE BY THE GOVERNMENT.

PROVIDING CT TECHNOLOGIST STAFFING UNDER THIS CONTRACT. FOR PLANNING

PURPOSES, PLEASE CONFIRM THE CURRENT CT TECHNOLOGIST STAFFING AT EACH

LOCATION, INCLUDING WHETHER COVERAGE IS TYPICALLY ONE TECHNOLOGIST PER

ANOTHER CREDENTIALED CT TECHNOLOGIST IN THE EVENT THE PRIMARY CT

TECHNOLOGIST IS UNABLE TO PERFORM; UNAVAILABLE (SICK/LEAVE); WE WILL STILL

HAVE COVERAGE.
