SECTION D - CONTRACT DOCUMENTS, EXHIBITS, OR ATTACHMENTS

36C26123Q1245 – Dated 10/11/2023 Questions and Answers:

1. Are there specific or premium channels that must be included?

No

2. How many channels are needed?

As stated in Section A.1.2 in the Statement of Work, DIRECTV Channel package shall include at a minimum 48 channels for patient viewing.

3. Is there an incumbent? If so, can you provide the contract number and bid amount won?

You will need to submit a Freedom of Information Act request for the incumbent contract.

4. Is there one comms room that supports the whole building? No there are three, however for cable TV, it all comes from one closet.

5. Is there currently a DIRECTV contract in place?

No, there is no DIRECTV contract currently in place.

6. Does the infrastructure support all the TVs in question? Any issues?

Yes

7. What is currently in place COMS3000, Coms2000? Dre system (multiple receivers in on location)? Spectrum enterprise modem, SPECTRUM 101-H, distributed via coax to 46 rooms from one electrical room. Similar to what hotels use.

8. If there is a DIRECTV service currently in place, is it the same amount of TV’s? important because DIRECTV carries this building with that amount.

There is no DIRECTV service currently in place. The requirement is still for 46 televisions.

9. Are the TV’s to be serviced on this job all on the same floor?

Yes, this is a one-story building.

10. The person I spoke with from Direct TV stated that he wasn't clear on which location they would be delivering service to, as 110 Krukowski Rd seems to be connected to multiple agency names? He would like to know if 110 is the EXACT address of service?

Yes, the service address is at 110 Krukowski Road, Honolulu Hawaii 96819 for the VA Pacific Islands Health Care System - Community Living Center (CLC).

11. Which DirecTV programming package do you want? FYI there are (4) different options: Entertainment (165+ channels), Choice (200+ channels), Ultimate (270+ channels), Premier (340+ channels) Entertainment Package for 46 televisions, as stated in Section B.2. Price/Cost Schedule.

12. Can you provide any information on the current provider and equipment setup?

The current provider is Spectrum. Please refer to questions 15 & 16 regarding the setup.

13. I have received quotes from Direct TV for contract proposal submission; however, I have a question from direct tv specifically: For monthly programming provided by DIRECTV the VA would need to pay the upfront cost for equipment installation. I have explained the process regarding the monthly invoicing for payment, but the director has stated that would breach the DIRECTV agreement otherwise.

DIRECTV also does not provide warranties beyond 1yr on equipment and 3mo on Labor.

Is DIRECTV the only programming company that could be considered for this service in Honolulu, Hawaii?

Yes, currently DIRECTV is the only programming company that is being considered for service at this location.

14. I just wanted to confirm the address of the service location. When the representative from Direct TV Googled 110 Krukowski Rd in Honolulu, it shows what appears to be multiple separate residences. Are all of these homes being serviced, or is there another location that is not showing on Google?

No, the homes/residences you viewed on Google are not the correct location. The Community Living Center (CLC) at 110 Krukowski Road, Honolulu is co-located at the Tripler Army Medical Center, which is a military base. The location may not show up correctly on Google and could be protected from online map viewership since it is co-located on a military base.

15. What is the current system used for distribution to each TV? Spectrum enterprise modem, SPECTRUM 101-H, distributed via coax to 46 rooms from one electrical room. Similar to what hotels use.

16. Do you have model numbers for all TV’s that will receive services? PDI Hospital TV

17. Will the facility be increasing patient occupancy within the duration of the contract?

Not expected to.

18. For the pricing on the optional years, are you wanting only the monthly subscription fees, or any associated maintenance fees as well?

You may include projected maintenance fees as any repairs will not be charged separately unless specified. The equipment should also be covered under a minimum 3-year warranty.

Please refer to the Statement of Work, which states in Section A.1.3 “Service provider shall use their best effort to respond to all request for repair of the System at the premises or to System outages within 24 hours of the request. The provider shall only respond to trouble calls originating from the Facilities & Maintenance Engineering Service.

Repairs shall be at no cost to the VA, except for any damages to System equipment which results from negligence, abuse, accidents, mishaps that were created by VA staff, patients, contractors, or visitors.”

19. I’ve reviewed the RFQ but wanted to know if a bid can be submitted without Directv programming. The reason is because it would be considered third party billing, which I will not be able to offer.

For this Request for Quote, we will require pricing for DirecTV Hardware installation and the DirecTV programming for the Base Year and the four one-year options. DirecTV will not be able to bill the VA directly, so an Authorized Third-Party Billing Dealer will be needed to bill for the programming.
