Perform Maintenance of Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems and Exchange of Deionized (DI) Water Tanks at the VA San Diego Medical Center

Responses to Questions:

1) Question: During a Site Visit, it was observed that the entire RO system appears to be non-operational. Is that the case?

Answer: Yes. It was possibly shut down due to non-use. However, system will need to be brought back up and maintained. Not sure if there is any repair necessary until system is turned back on.

2) Statement: Several other components seem to be in a damaged or degraded state, which may impact the overall feasibility and cost of maintenance.

Response: It is recommended that contractor allocate a sum of money ($20,000.00 for Emergency Repairs – Parts/Labors). Anything beyond that, contract would need to be modified.

3) Statement: Potential Contractors were informed that the system requires approximately 15 tons of salt per week. This seems unusually high, especially considering the high cost (approximately $800 per pound), and we would appreciate any clarification on this figure.

Response: Awaiting response, from the Plant Supervisor.

4) Statement: The language in the solicitation is not entirely clear about the scope of maintenance expectations, particularly concerning older systems. If replacement parts are required, it is our understanding that these would be an additional cost. We would prefer not to include speculative or hypothetical numbers in our proposal, as we feel that might come across as either imprecise or disinterested.

Response: Refer to response to statement # 2. Contractors should have viewed the system during the scheduled site visit and should know what will need to be replaced due to age. Base year may be quoted higher than Option Years, due to unforeseen issues that may occur during the first year.

This contract is to furnish all necessary labor, materials, parts and transportation in order to perform Maintenance of Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems and Exchange of Deionized (DI) Water Tanks at the VA San Diego Medical Center.
