vinicky.ervin@va.gov Business The purpose of this amendment is to post all questions and answers after the scheduled site visit 9 Apr 2020.

This is an Estimate of what’s needed and divided between the two floors. Est 19 on 2nd floor and the rest on the first.

1. Of the 4 desk consoles will they be 2 each pre floor?

No, there will be 3 on the Second and one on the First.

1. Can you highlight the locations for each alarm on the provide floor plan to include the desk locations?

I do not have the ability to do markup on the drawings, the 1st floor will be in 1B145, The 2nd floor will be 2A107, 2B102 and 2A133

1. Being that this project of for the VA will it be a SDVOSB set-aside?

1. What is the status for site visit?

This is set for the 9 April at 10 AM CST.

1. What is the project duration?

This is unknow at this time.

1. Is there a drawing that indicates where these 29 rooms and 4 desk consoles are located in the 2 units in bld 94 or do we have to be at the site visit to learn this information?

The Second Floor has all the patient Rooms, The first floor are the following rooms:

The First Floor would be the rooms 1B117 to 1B124

1. Are the “desk consoles” just computers where you would like the system software installed or do you need a keypad such as one that would typically be installed at the nurse’s station at each of the work stations?

This depends on your system and would be part of your design of the system. The system is a standalone and will not connect to any part of the VA network.

1. What type of system is existing?

A very old TOP Door alarm that is still operational

1. Do you want the existing system removed just enough to install the new system or does the existing system need to be entirely removed (wires, devices, control panels, ect..)?

Yes, and this will assist in the installation of the new system.

1. Are you requesting just a simple emailed proposal or SF1442?

The Proposal needs to contain all important information about the system that is being proposed to include follow on cost, what brand name of system components being planned and any other information that will allow for a clear picture of the proposed system being quoted.

This is a Design and install project and will be evaluated not only cost but also the Felix ability to maintain the system after the install and the follow on cost of the system.

1. Is the site visit scheduled for Thursday April 9th still happening?

Yes

1. Does the facility desire a system that can provide bottom of the door protection as well as top?

I never heard of one that is both the top and bottom of the door.

1. Will the system need to be capable of being networked to other systems within the facility?

No this is a stand alone system.

1. Is it possible to obtain a PDF or drawing of the floor plans for the unit(s)?

These have been sent to you. Also attached.

1. Are there separate units on each of the two floors?

Each floor is a separate unit.

1. Do the 4 “desk consoles” need to be independent of each other?

3 Of the console are on one unit and should work together, the 4 is separate unit.

1. Are these four separate systems, and the intent is to go back with 4 separate systems?

No See Above.

1. Is ordering new doors a consideration or does the facility want to modify existing doors for the new system?

We would like to keep the doors in Place if possible, this is why there was a site visit at which you could have made the determination if your system requires the doors to be replaced.

1. What type of hinges are currently on the patient room doors?

Piano hinges from the existing TOP Door alarm.
