CONTINUATION PAGE

Question 1: There is no mention of MRI specifications in the SOW about things like bore size, coil channels, software level, software capabilities, etc… Without any specific specifications, we, and others, have no idea of which model of MRI to quote. For example, just on GE MRI systems, the price differential on a GE Signa 1.5T 9.1X MRI and a GE Signa 1.5T HDxt 23X, 16 channel coils MRI may be as much as $15,000 per month. Without these specifications, I would be inclined to offer the lesser priced system to win the bid. Which may not meet the expectations of the MRI staff. Please provide MRI specific specifications.

Government Answer: An MRI with similar functionality to an 8 channel 16x platform minimum.

Question 2: Do you have an existing MRI pad? With 480V 3-Phase 150A power within 50 feet of the pad? Do you have a water connection close to the MRI pad? Do you have Internet connection data cable hookup close to the MRI pad? Are there any obstacles that will require special equipment to position the MRI on your MRI pad?

Government Answer: There is no existing MRI pad. There is power available. Please reference attached “Electrical Diagram”. There is internet connection as well. There is a fire hydrant next to the location where the MRI trailer will be parked for water connection.

Question 3: What are your site preparation requirements?

Government Answer: Site preparation requirements need to be specified by the vendor. The site preparation will be provided by the VAMC by way of construction contractor. Please see attached “MRI Trailer Site Prep”.

Question 4: Do you have a projected startup date?

Government Answer: The projected startup date would be as soon as possible but no later than 2 weeks after award.

Question 5: How many days of applications training will you require for you MRI staff?

Government Answer: 3 days of application training

Question 6: What are your hours of MRI operation and the days of operation?

Government Answer: Hours of operation:

0. Monday, Tuesday – 7am-7pm

0. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday – 7am-5:30pm

0. Saturday, Sunday – 7am – 7pm
