Questions and Answers

1. Does prime have to be onsite to deliver?

2. Can training be conducted virtually?

· Yes, training can be conducted virtually. Need to coordinate with the contracting officer and contracting officer representative.

3. Can prime coordinate the procurement and delivery and local hospital facilities management receive, assemble, and test electric hospital beds before moving into patient room?

· There’s no need to move the beds to patient rooms. The prime can coordinate the procurement, delivery for receipt, installation and test electric hospitals with the contracting officer representative prior to Biomedical Engineering acceptance of the beds. Keep in mind see question number 1 if you plan to subcontract.

4. Is there a format you would like the proposal quote in?

· See page 27, number 3 Format:

0. All commitments made in the quote may become a part of the resultant contract. The data submitted with each quote should be complete and concise, but not overly elaborate. Excessive reliance on promotional brochures is discouraged.

0. Electronic Copy: Provide one (1) electronic copy of the complete proposal. Electronic copies must be in Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat format, and virus checked prior to submission.

i. Volume 1: Pricing Information. Quoter is to complete Section B.3 Schedule of Services/Product(s) and Pricing or submit a separate attachment.

ii. Volume 2: Technical Information: Conforming to solicitation statement of work, delivery, cost and price schedule.

5. To better prepare the quote and the delivery schedule, we need clarity on how much product is going to be delivered per installation since there might be two different install dates?

· The following are the first Estimated Quantities:

To Include: Delivery, Labor, Installation and Training.

(Does not include: Travel)

6. Will all the beds and accessories need to be shipped together in one shipment?

· See section C.10 VAAR 852.247-73 Packing for Domestic Shipment.

· Material shall be packed for shipment in such a manner that will insure acceptance by common carriers and safe delivery at destination. Containers and closures shall comply with regulations of carriers as applicable to the mode of transportation.

· If planning to utilize the Jacksonville address, a 53’ Foot Trailer is sent two times a week to Puerto Rico. Plan to pack items that can fit in this trailer.

7. Will we need to make deliveries as the orders are received?

· Once customer inputs a request for delivery orders, the contractor will have 45 business days to ship the products to Puerto Rico. Due to Covid19, we do understand that shipment can get delayed and it’s important the contractor keeps the contracting officer notified if any issues do arise.
