Attachment A: Q&A Log – 36C24923Q0264

Q1: Why the complete removal of the systems as opposed to just upgrading the lifts?

A1: The current systems are past end of life and need to be removed and replaced with new systems to comply with updated code.

Q2: Are the configurations of the existing systems in the rooms going to change?

A2: No, they will stay the same.

Q3: Why boxed in systems – ceiling heights are good?

A3: Boxed in rail systems help increase effective height in certain areas.

Q4: Why the trainer module?

A4: The functions of the Brand Name or Equal trainer module feature allows a patient to improve balance and rehabilitate faster, thus decreasing length of stay in a safe way for staff and veteran.

Q5: Why positioning locks?

A5: The functions of the Brand Name or Equal positioning locks allow staff to utilize different slings and methods to mobilize patients, thus decreasing length of stay, and injuries in a safe way for staff and veterans.

Q6: Start date shows as 9/15 is that accurate?

A6: Yes, that is accurate. The Contractor shall be ready to attend a project initiation meeting with the requiring office at this date, where all project timelines will be confirmed, personnel contact information will be discussed, as well as roles within the project.

Q7: Please confirm that the ceiling lifts mentioned in the Murfreesboro Ward 1B Renovation are not part of this solicitation?

A7: The Statement of Work describes the work required. Murfreesboro Ward 1B Renovation is not included in this project.

Q8: Please clarify the Murfreesboro CLC lift quantities. The narratives describe a total of 63 lifts for all of CLC. The tables describe a total of 116 lifts for all of CLC. Please confirm 116 lifts is the correct count.

A8: The SOW states the number of ceiling lifts (i) and the number of rooms (ii). These quantities are different based on the facilities requirements for semiprivate or private rooms and the need to have two individual ceiling lift systems or one removed and reinstalled.

Q9: The scope of work describes deinstallation of 93 existing ceiling lifts in Murfreesboro. B.3 Cost schedule describes 152 lifts in Murfreesboro. This would seem to indicate 59 lifts require only a motor upgrade in their existing track systems. Please confirm.

A9: The SOW states the number of ceiling lifts (i) and the number of rooms (ii). These quantities are different based on the facilities’ requirements for semiprivate or private rooms and the need to have two individual ceiling lift systems or one removed and reinstalled.

The purpose of this solicitation amendment is to provide answers to the questions asked in response to the RFQ. Attachment A lists all questions and their corresponding answers. Please ensure you completely review these prior to completing your quote and associated documents.
