Amendment 2 Questions

· The scope of work for the training section states that there are 4 techs. Will all 4 techs be able to attend the trainings together? Or will the trainings need to be broken up? Techs can attend together.

· Some of the Hologic applications training (biopsy) is for 3 techs & 3 rads but may be able to accommodate 4 techs. However our apps specialist is able to only give credits to 3 techs due to the ASRT. Will all 4 techs require credits for all trainings? We only have 2 mammo tech.

· How many radiologists will need training? 3 Radiologist independent.

· For the initial apps training, the apps specialist will train the techs how to use RIS, PACS, MWL, etc. Will the additional 5-8hr days still be required for Section 4B? This is a typo and will be updated to read PACS Administrator and Radiologist.

B. Five (5) eight-hour days of onsite training on the Mammography unit and all components following integration to Radiology Information System Package (RPMS) and PACS and/or as needed for advanced follow-up training for (2) two PACS Administrators and Radiologists as pertinent:

a. As a minimum, Mammography unit training should include: DICOM (MDWL, Store, Query/Retrieve, and Print) functionality training, application training, any proprietary QA/QC testing in digital environment, and system administrative configuration procedures;

· In the SOW, Section 4B, states 4 MRI techs, is that correct? Typo – correction made

· 4C states “Training associated with proprietary Service Repair call systems, if applicable.” Should the cost of biomed training be included? If so, how many? 4 biomedical staffing – correction made.

· 4D states “Six months (unlimited) Remote/Online/Web training as needed”, is the expectation that this training is with a “live” apps specialist or can they be on-demand training videos? On demand training videos.

The contractor shall provide delivery, setup, commissioning, supervision, labor, parts, materials, tools, supplies (with the exception of Government furnished supplies listed), and equipment necessary to provide a Mammography Unit with 2D and 3D Imaging, Upright Biopsy Unit, PACS Archive and Artificial Intelligence Software.

Do you have a construction/turnkey contractor your facility prefers to works with? We will require one for de-install/install. No we do not have any contractor in mind.

If any walls, ceilings or floors are patched, they must be patched in a manner approved by OSHA for lead shielding.

Generally mammo rooms are not lead lined, can you confirm if it is? Would the end user like to keep the system layout (how the workstation & gantry are positioned) they currently have, if it is able to accommodate for biopsy? Knowing this info will help determine if patching will be needed & assist with estimated cost. We can leave the layout the same.

Physicist inspection/testing following the installation to ensure that the “Mammography Unit” and all components meet Federal regulatory requirements Is there a specific physicist the facility currently works with & prefers? PIMC has used Uday Rao, hubrao@gmail.com, but you are free to use anyone. They must submit all credentials, training, 2D and 3D certification, CME to meet FDA MQSA standards, Contractor to provide a copy of physicist credentials to include Mammography license, diploma, Mammography training CME, and resume to COR.

h. Power Surge Protection and Uninterrupted Power Supply The contractor will provide and install Power Surge Protection and Uninterrupted Power Supply with each unit. The intent of the Power Surge Protection and Uninterrupted Power Supply is to protect the equipment from unintended damage to the equipment. Power surges may include lightning strikes, PIMC generator testing, city power electrical fluctuations, or any other cause of a power surge. Contractor will recommend the unit size needed and install the units.

Please confirm that you are referring to power surge protection & UPS for the acquisition workstation & the gantry. We currently offer a UPS for the acquisition workstation. We want the entire system covered with UPS and surge protection, except the archive. The archive will be installed in the PIMC IT area in the basement where it has its own electrical set up and power supply.

E. Training off site at contractor’s training facility for (4) four Radiologic Technologists.

Hologic does not provide applications training for RTs at our training facility. We do provide training for biomeds though. Are you requesting biomed training? We removed the RT training off site. Only training to biomedical onsite at PIMC.
