Amendment 0001 for solicitation RFQ 36C25220Q0908 for Backflow Prevention Testing at the Edward Hines, Jr. VA Hospital located in Hines, Illinois.

Questions and Answers:

Q1: Some of the devices listed in Attachment A are obsolete and parts are difficult to find or discontinued. If a device such as Hershey or Apollo fail and after good faith effort to locate parts; the device? How can we quote repairs as part of maintenance if some repair kits may be unavailable.?

A1: If parts are unavailable the unit may have to be replaced.

Q2: The cost to test the backflows should also include cost to repair. We will not know how many devices or which ones fail until we perform the test. There are several different makes and model #s. Are we supposed to supply the parts or just labor? Does the hospital keep any repair parts on site for emergencies or are we expected to stay well stocked?

A2: There is a separate line item in the Price/Cost Schedule for testing and repair service (labor rate). After the end of the inspection, the Contractor shall provide the Government an itemized list of repairs and parts with a proposed cost for those that fail.

Q3: In the past how many repairs were typically needed? How many devices failed each year?

A3: Between 5 and 20. The repair contract line item (CLIN) also took care of items that failed after the annual inspection.
