A.1 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

1. You state that you need track for 20 lifts. Can you please tell us if the track will be for 20 standard lifts, 20 bariatric lifts or a combination of both? The 20 track lifts will be for standard 625 pound single cassette lifts.

2. Will the new track for the 20 lifts be a straight track or H design? And will any of these tracks include going into a bathroom? Assume all 20 will be H design. These will replace 19 of the current ARJO tracks in the CLC and 1 will be installed in CDSU at the Malcom Randall VAMC . They will not go into the restroom.

a. CLC (19) required. Currently these rooms have ARJO track. Will be replaced with Handicare track. Current track size is 8’ X 16’.

b. CDSU (1) required. No track is currently installed. Assume same size track installation as CLC.

3. For your existing Handicare rails, are they docking or continuous charge? The existing Handicare rails are continuous charge.

4. We will need the size of the rooms. Do you have any CAD drawings that you can send me so we know how to set up design? No CAD drawings are available. The current track size is provided above.

5. Existing Handicare track compatibility (231 tracks): Please provide track model/series and photos (track end profile) to confirm trolley compatibility. Current Handicare track accommodates the Handicare model C625 single cassette lift motor. No photos available.

6. 20 new track systems: Please provide RCPs, floor plans, and framing/structural plans. Also confirm mounting structure material (concrete/steel/wood, etc.), ceiling height, and distance from finished ceiling to structure above. CLC rooms as illustrated in the layout below will receive new Handicare tracks and lift motors. Room numbers are as follows: 310-12, 312-12, 324-12, 325-12, 327-12, 329-12, 332-12, 333-12, 335-12, 343-12, 346-12, 348-12, 350-12, 359-12, 361-12, 365-12, 367-12, 369-12, 371-12. One new Handicare track and lift motor to be installed in a room of the CDSU. Assume the design and size to be the same as the rooms in the CLC.

7. De-install scope: Please describe the scope of the deinstallation process. Does this include only motors or tracks as well. Contractor would be expected to supply 235 Handicare 625-pound single cassette lift motors. The contractor will remove approximately 235 existing lift motors and replace with new provided lift motors. Contractor would also be expected to provide 20 new standard 625 pound rated lift rails (H design). Size listed above. Contractor would be expected to remove 20 exisiting ARJO rails and install new rails with lift motors. The SON expresses providing 15 Bariatric (1000 pound) lift motors (expected to be single cassette) to the Malcom Randall and 1 to the Sergeant Boots VA Clinic in Tallahassee. The 15 lifts for Malcom Randall will replace existing Bariatric lift motors. The lift for Tallahassee will also replace an existing lift motor.

8. Traverse System Layouts (10x10 Systems) The Price/Cost Schedule includes a line item for a “Clinical Ceiling Lift 272KG 10x10 Layout” as well as XY gantry system trolleys.

Could the VA please confirm:

· How many rooms require 10x10 traverse systems? None

· Whether any room layouts, drawings, or dimensions are available? Layout for CLC rail install above.

9. Ceiling Construction / Mounting Conditions To correctly design the mounting solution, could the VA please confirm:

· The type of ceiling construction in the installation areas (e.g., sheetrock, acoustic tile, or other)? Concrete deck with suspended ceiling tile.

· If acoustic tile, the approximate distance from the finished ceiling to the structural deck above? 3 feet

· Whether any structural reinforcement drawings or ceiling load ratings are available? Not available but all rail installation will be replacing ARJO except one in the CDSU.

10. The standard XY system is 7'11" wide and deep, but the documents provided so far do not include any measurements. See comments above.

11. Could you please provide drawings or the exact dimensions of the XY system that is being requested? See comments above.

12. We understand for 231 (out of 251) we'll be replacing the motor and leaving the track and anchor.

· Do you have drawings we can reference for the 20 "additional ceiling lifts needing track and anchors"?? See information above.

The Department of Veterans Affairs, North Florida/South Georgia Veterans Health System, 1601SW Archer Road, Gainesville, FL 32608-1197 is seeking to purchase Patient Ceiling Lifts.
