Brand Name or Equal Baxter/Hill-Rom Progressa ICU Bed System

See vendors’ questions and answers below:

Question 1: Are all 10 units required to be the 36” width as per the line item? Or, is the facility looking for a mix of both 36” and 40” widths within this 10-unit order?

Answer 1: The 36’’ frame widths for all 10 of the beds that are being requested.

Question 2: Clarify delivery timing expectations.

Answer 2: Delivery expectation is 6-8 weeks after receipt of order.

Question 3: Clarify delivery location needs.

Answer 3: Delivery must be the NLR warehouse, no exceptions unless a vendor is bringing AND installing equipment. We have no process for receiving equipment at the LR warehouse. It’s only for certain medical supply deliveries.

This is where they must be delivered:

2200 Fort Roots Drive, Building 182 North Little Rock, AR 72114 Question 4: Would the hospital prefer an extended warranty for the life of the bed, versus the 1-year warranty specified?

Answer 4: No, only the 1-year warranty specified.

Question 5: In addition to the warranty requirement listed in the RFQ, would the hospital be interested in including with that warranty mattress assessments and mattress cover replacements for the life of the bed (per recent federal mandates for mattress assessments and cover replacements, per manufacturer IFUS)?

Answer 5: No, only the 1-year warranty specified.

Question 6: Would the hospital like to specify the vendor training requirements, as noted on Page 10?

Answer 6: If brand name products provided, no training is required. Training is required for “or equal” products.

Questions 7: Discuss the Security note listed on Page 10.

Answer 7: It’s no longer a requirement that the beds have the Wi-Fi modules. Omit this requirement.

Question 8: Given the objective for pressure injury prevention as described in the statement of work, would the hospital consider a clinical evaluation of surfaces to determine the most effective solution? If so, would the wound care recommendation for the clinically preferred surface be considered?

Answer 8: A clinical evaluation as well as the recommendations from wound care would be considered but not guaranteed.

Question 9: Would the hospital consider a clinical trial or clinical evaluation that allows for evaluation and feedback from safe patient handling, wound care, and other relevant CAVHS staff?

Answer 9: CAVHS is not interested in a clinical trial.
