Vendor Questions/Government Answers

1. Vendor Question: Coverage Exclusions The Statement of Work references damage due to physical abuse as the only exclusion. Will the VA consider allowing additional exclusions under the contract coverage, such as:

Acts of God (e.g., natural disasters) Power-related damage Water damage Equipment obsolescence

Government’s Response: Acts of God (e.g., natural disasters): Yes Power-related damage: Yes Water damage: Yes Equipment obsolescence: No

2. Vendor Question: Preventive Maintenance Labor Hours The SOW outlines service frequency based on equipment type (weekly, biweekly, monthly), but it doesn’t specify the total number of preventive maintenance labor hours expected. Is there an estimated number of hours the VA expects per month?

Government’s Response: One day a week

3. Vendor Question: Pre-Existing Rope Replacements Would the VA consider excluding the first rope replacements from coverage for units already known to require it at the start of the agreement?

Government’s Response: No, the statement of work states as is and will not be changed. The current contractor has made all repairs and adjusted all ropes as needed. It is the expectation the awardee will also perform these repairs.

4. Vendor Question: The Statement of Work references Damage due to physical abuse as the ONLY exclusion under the coverage. Will there be additional exclusions considered under the contract coverage? (i.e. Acts of God, Power Related Damage, Water Damage, Obsolescence).

Government’s Response: See the answer for question #1

5. Vendor Question: The Statement of Work details that the “Contractor” will be accepting the equipment “As-Is” at the time of contract award. During our walk-through, we observed 5 units that will need hoist rope replacement during the initial term of the agreement. Would the VA consider the 1st replacement of these hoist ropes excluded from the coverage?

Government’s Response: No
