7. DELIVERY OF MEDICAL LIQUID BULK OXYGEN

7.1 Deliveries of oxygen are scheduled by the contractor based on information transmitted by the oxygen level monitoring system, which is to be monitored by the contractor based on Orlando Veterans Administration requirements (telemetry unit). Contractors will provide yearly warranty on parts and labor of telemetry unit for corporate Orlando bulk oxygen supply tanks. The contractor will have a delivery-forecasting program that assesses the OVAMC recent and historic usage and determines when replenishment of the liquid oxygen supply is needed. The reorder, alarm, safety, and reserve levels will be coordinated with the COR. Alarm levels will be set at such points to avoid frequent alarms. The delivery system shall be designed so that scheduling of the replenishment of the oxygen supply requires no intervention on the part of medical center personnel. Offeror shall have the capability and resources to respond to routine requests within 24-hrs and emergency requests within 6-hrs, by either telemetry unit or the station.

7.2 The contractor shall deliver medical-grade liquid oxygen within 36-hrs after the reorder point on the main tank is reached. If the 36-hrs ends on a weekend, delivery will be on Monday. If for any reason the contractor is unable to deliver at the agreed upon day or time, the contractor will provide 24-hour notice to the COR, so that the facility can initiate an alternate backup action. In accordance with VHA Patient Safety Alert dated April 5, 2004, all deliveries must be monitored by a qualified and trained technical representative (COR) from OVAMC.

Contractor will be provided with names and contact information of primary and back-up facility representatives.

This applies to all deliveries regardless of time or day of execution.

7.3 The contractor shall provide 24-hour notice prior to delivery or upon mutual agreement between the facility and contractor, alternate ordering/delivery methods such as pre-scheduled deliveries, calling for tank level readings, installing a telemetry unit, etc. may be arranged. If for any reason the contractor is unable to delivery at the agreed upon day or time, the contractor will provide 24-hour notice to the COR, so that the facility can initiate an alternate backup action. In accordance with VHA Patient Safety Alert dated April 5, 2004, all deliveries must be monitored by a qualified and trained technical representative that will be designated by each facility. Contractor will be provided with names and contact information of primary and back-up facility representatives. This applies to all deliveries regardless of time or day of execution.

7.4 Tanks(s) will be filled to maximum functional capacity at each refilling procedure unless otherwise specified in the facility requirements or as agreed upon in a written document signed and dated by the COR. If the tank cannot be filled to maximum capacity at the time of delivery, the driver must annotate the reason for the partial delivery and indicate when a subsequent delivery will be made to completely fill the tank to capacity, at no additional cost.

7.5 At the time of each delivery, contractor must provide a legible signed and dated written document that identifies the tank level prior to fill, the level after fill, and the quantity delivered. This document must be counter-signed by the facility representative supervising the delivery.

7.6 Emergency delivery will be provided within 6-hours after receipt of Government notification. Contractor must respond to the facility by either telephone or email within one hour to confirm receipt of emergency notification to ascertain the nature of the emergency. Emergency status is determined by the Government when conditions warrant, such as an actuated main bulk tank low level alarm, imminent alarm condition, or system leak. Failure of the contractor to remain current with agreed delivery schedule and requirements does not constitute an "emergency" for purposes of charging an emergency delivery fee.

7.7 Contractor shall provide a cost break down of emergency tank rental. Daily a monthly rental cost as well as a prorated cost agreement

Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 210 & 211 - CGMP regulations for supplying medical grade oxygen.

29 CFR 1910.104 Applies to the installation of bulk oxygen systems on industrial and institutional consumer premises

49 CFR - Transportation

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act

NFPA 50: Standard for Bulk Oxygen Systems at Consumer Sites, 2001 Edition

NFPA 99: Standard for Health Care Facilities, 2002 Edition

U.S.P. 23

Density data and volume measurement equivalents published in Compressed Gas Association Pamphlet No. P-6, titled

"Standard Density Data, Atmospheric Gases and Hydrogen," shall be used when necessary to convert measurement of gases from one form to another. For example, the following conversion factor shall apply for conversion from gallons to cubic feet.

Calculation based on data in CGA P-6

1 ft³ liquid O2 = 860.6 ft³ gas (Table 1)

1 ft³ liquid O2 = 7.48052 gal ((Table 2)

Therefore:

7.48052 gal (1 ft³) liquid O2 = 860.6 ft³ gas

1 gal liquid O2 = 860.6 ft³ gas

7.48052

1 gal liquid O2 = 115.05 ft³ gas or more commonly quoted as 1 gal liquid O2 = 115.1 ft³ gas

The Government may require repair or replacement of nonconforming supplies or reperformance of nonconforming services at no increase in contract price. If repair/replacement or reperformance will not correct the defects or is not possible, the Government may seek an equitable price reduction or adequate consideration for acceptance of nonconforming supplies or services. The

Government must exercise its post-acceptance rights—

(1) Within a reasonable time after the defect was discovered or should have been discovered;

and

(2) Before any substantial change occurs in the condition of the item, unless the change is due to the defect in the item.

Act (31 U.S.C. 3727). However, when a third party makes payment (e.g., use of the

Governmentwide commercial purchase card), the Contractor may not assign its rights to receive payment under this contract.

(c) Changes. Changes in the terms and conditions of this contract may be made only by written agreement of the parties.

(d) Disputes. This contract is subject to 41 U.S.C. chapter 71, Contract Disputes.

The Contractor shall proceed diligently with performance of this contract, pending final resolution of any dispute arising under the contract.

(e) Definitions. The clause at FAR 52.202-1, Definitions, is incorporated herein by reference.

(f) Excusable delays. The Contractor shall be liable for default unless nonperformance is caused by an occurrence beyond the reasonable control of the Contractor and without its fault or negligence such as, acts of God or the public enemy, acts of the Government in either its sovereign or contractual capacity, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, unusually severe weather, and delays of common carriers. The Contractor shall notify the

Contracting Officer in writing as soon as it is reasonably possible after the commencement of any excusable delay, setting forth the full particulars in connection therewith, shall remedy such occurrence with all reasonable dispatch, and shall promptly give written notice to the

Contracting Officer of the cessation of such occurrence.

(B) If EFT banking information is not required to be on the invoice, in order for the invoice to be a proper invoice, the Contractor shall have submitted correct EFT banking information in accordance with the applicable solicitation provision, contract clause (e.g., 52.232-33, Payment by Electronic Funds Transfer—System for Award Management, or 52.232-34, Payment by

Electronic Funds Transfer—Other Than System for Award Management), or applicable agency procedures.

(C) EFT banking information is not required if the Government waived the requirement to pay by EFT.

(2) Invoices will be handled in accordance with the Prompt Payment Act (31 U.S.C. 3903) and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) prompt payment regulations at 5 CFR part 1315.

(h) Patent indemnity. The Contractor shall indemnify the Government and its officers, employees and agents against liability, including costs, for actual or alleged direct or contributory infringement of, or inducement to infringe, any United States or foreign patent, trademark or copyright, arising out of the performance of this contract, provided the Contractor is reasonably notified of such claims and proceedings.

(i) Payment.—

(1) Items accepted. Payment shall be made for items accepted by the Government that have been delivered to the delivery destinations set forth in this contract.
