Answered Questions

What’s the possibility of staying with the current contractor? Please see the answers below.

1. Will all 40 quarterly Legionella samples be collected and shipped together at the same time, or will they be collected and submitted in separate batches throughout the quarter? If the latter, could you please specify how many samples will be included in each shipment?

Answer: All 40 quarterly Legionella samples will be shipped in a single package to the VA address. This package will contain two boxes, each with 20 samples—one box for the main hospital (Building 1) and one for the Community Living Center (Building 20). While the shipment is consolidated, sample collection typically occurs on two separate days, as each set must be overnight delivered to the lab for timely processing.

1. Section 4.1.2 indicates a requirement for up to 40 bottles a year for retests but retests are not listed in the CLIN table. Can the government indicate how the offeror is to provide pricing for retests?

Answer: The Price Cost Schedule has been updated to reflect 40 Retest bottles annually which is estimated up to 10 Retests may be ordered quarterly.

1. Reference: SOW Section 4.1. CLIN 0001- The description for this CLIN indicates that the contractor shall provide bottles for 40 annual retests, for a total of 200 bottles annually, however the testing quantities in the pricing schedule do not include the retests. Question: Can you please confirm whether the retesting costs should be included in the pricing for 160 samples, or should the pricing schedule reflect a quantity of 200 tests per year?

Answer: Updated Pricing Clarification:

The Price/Cost Schedule has been revised to reflect two separate CLINs:

· CLIN 0001: 160 annual Legionella tests

· CLIN 0002: 40 annual retests The 40 retests are included to account for potential positive test results that may require follow-up testing. These retests will be conducted only after remediation efforts have been completed to confirm effectiveness. Retest supplies will be provided upon request, with a maximum of 40 bottles per year.
