Question #1:

a. How will existing fire alarm troubles be handled?

b. Will the awarded contractor be able to provide quotes for those repairs?

Answer #1:

a. There are currently no known existing troubles on the Fire Alarm system. However, the contractor who gets the contract will accept the system as is. The VA works hard to keep the system trouble free.

b. No, in accordance paragraph 2.a. of the Statement of Work (SOW), any repairs and associated costs are part of this contract and covered by the contractor at no additional cost to the VA.

Question #2: Will the awarded contractor be able to perform an initial assessment of the fire alarm/sprinkler systems to identify any pre-existing issues? Such as bad control valves, leaking packing, pump problems, smoke detectors too close to vents, etc…

Answer #2: The awarded contractor can perform any assessment they deem necessary, however the assessment and any repair(s) will be included in the cost of the contract. In accordance with paragraph 2.a. “This is a full parts, labor, preventative maintenance, repair, monitoring, breakdown maintenance, breakdown repair, software upgrade and maintenance, testing agreement for the Notifier Fire Alarm and wet/dry sprinkler systems located at VA Medical Center Memphis TN 38104.”

Question #3: In section 9. Response Time it states tech to be onsite within 1 hour during normal hours. Can this be changed to 2 hour response during normal hours? It is very difficult to have a tech leave a project he may be working and get the tech to the site

Answer #3: The response time will remain as stated in the SOW.

Question #4: Is the contractor responsible for replacing control valves, check valves that are found to be faulty during the inspection?

Answer #4: Yes, all repair cost is included in the contract.

Question #5: Will testing of elevator recall and shunt trip be performed after normal hours in order to minimize impact to the facility?

Answer #5: The recalls, and shunt trips are part of the annual testing, and can be done during normal working hours.

Question #6: Will testing of audio/visual and door holders be performed after normal hours in order to minimize impact to the facility?

Answer #6: All testing can be done during normal working hours.

Question #7: Will the VA be responsible for coordinating with VA Elevator contractor elevator recall and shunt trip testing?

Answer #7: Yes, the VA will coordinate.

Question #8: Is fire alarm monitoring included under this contract? If so how many primary accounts and how many subaccounts?

Answer #8: Yes, monitoring is included in the contract, there are two accounts.

Question #9: When are the 5yr automatic standpipe flow test due? Should this be included in our price?

Answer #9: Next year, and yes include in your pricing.

Question #10: When are the 5yr internal inspections due? Should this be included in our price?

Answer #10: Next year, yes include in your pricing.

Question #11: Are the onsite critical parts inventory the property of the contractor? It seems that the parts are just being stored at the VA to facilitate servicing the fire systems.

Answer #11: Yes, you are correct.
