B.4 STATEMENT OF WORK

OBJECTIVE:

To replace the existing aged-out individually ventilated caging (IVC) system with a disposable

IVC system (which includes all permanent racks, disposable caging, and all necessary equipment to enable their functioning such as blowers, power supplies, filters, etc.) to house the

Minneapolis VA Health Care System (MVAHCS) current rodent population in the event of sudden need.

MAJOR REQUIREMENTS:

In order for the Contractor to accomplish the work under this task order/purchase order, it shall be necessary for the Contractor to complete the following tasks:

a) Supply 4 individually ventilated permanent caging racks for mice housing animals on both sides (housing 176 or more cages each with dimensions of 31.1” x 81.4” x 77.1” to fit and travel through regular doors without deconstruction). Supply all necessary equipment to enable their functioning (blowers, power supplies, filters, etc.).

b) Supply 2 individually ventilated permanent caging racks for rats housing animals on both sides (housing 80 or more cages each with dimensions of 36.3” x 76.3” x 77.7” to fit and travel through regular doors without deconstruction). Supply all necessary equipment to enable their functioning (blowers, power supplies, filters, etc.).

c) These systems must easily use cages intended to be disposed (or recycled) after one use.

d) These cages need to have the ability to filter the air that comes into and out of each individual cage separately. This allows for the rodent to be protected from potential diseases and helps minimize allergens or odors from the cage.

e) These cages need to have the option of coming pre-filled with rodent bedding of a specific type (Alpha Dri).

f) Provide a Contractor representative for installation/set up purposes and training.

Requirements for Contract

a) Firm-fixed price Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to be able to purchase the permanent cage racks and disposable cage parts in smaller batches

(indefinite delivery) via delivery orders during ordering periods.

b) No funds are obligated on the base contract.

c) Separate delivery orders will be ordered against awarded contract at time of individual study need.

d) Funding will be obligated on individual delivery orders.

e) Each order under a delivery order must be delivered within 7-10 days of the order being processed.

f) Tracking shall be provided upon shipment of each order.

g) Contractor shall submit invoices within 30 days of each shipment.

Contract Type

a) Firm-fixed price IDIQ – There is no set total amount of research studies identified for utilizing this IVC system contract. Contractor shall have the capability to satisfy all new/future research study delivery order submissions throughout the life of the contract.

b) Delivery orders will be requested as needed, defining the contract line-item number, item, quantity, and dollar amount within each task order.

TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS:

Contractor shall send in representative to the MVAHCS to assist in installation as needed at no additional cost.

CONTRACTING OFFICER'S REPRESENTATIVE (COR):

No Government personnel, other than the Contracting Officer, have the authority to change or alter these requirements. The COR shall clarify technical points or supply relevant technical information, but no requirements in this scope of work may be altered as a sole result of such verbal clarification.

REPORTS/DELIVERABLES:

Upon Delivery, a delivery receipt must be attached with the physical order.

The Government reserves the right to inspect or test any supplies or services that have been tendered for acceptance. The Government may require repair or replacement of nonconforming supplies or reperformance of nonconforming services at no increase in contract price.

The

Government must exercise its post acceptance rights—

(iv) If a demand for payment was previously issued for the debt, the demand for payment included in the final decision shall identify the same due date as the original demand for payment.

(v) Amounts shall be due at the earliest of the following dates:

(A) The date fixed under this contract.

(B) The date of the first written demand for payment, including any demand for payment resulting from a termination for cause.

(k) Taxes. The contract price includes all applicable Federal, State, and local taxes and duties.

(l) Termination for the Government's convenience. The Government reserves the right to terminate this contract, or any part hereof, for its sole convenience. In the event of such termination, the Contractor shall immediately stop all work and shall immediately cause any and all of its suppliers and subcontractors to cease work. Subject to the terms of this contract, the

Contractor shall be paid a percentage of the contract price reflecting the percentage of the work performed prior to the notice of termination, plus reasonable charges the Contractor can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Government using its standard record keeping system, have resulted from the termination. The Contractor shall not be required to comply with the cost accounting standards or contract cost principles for this purpose. This paragraph does not give the Government any right to audit the Contractor's records. The Contractor shall not be paid for any work performed or costs incurred which reasonably could have been avoided.

(m) Termination for cause. The Government may terminate this contract, or any part hereof, for cause in the event of any default by the Contractor, or if the Contractor fails to comply with any contract terms and conditions, or fails to provide the Government, upon request, with adequate assurances of future performance. The Government will send a cure notice to the Contractor, unless the reason for the termination is late delivery. In the event of termination for cause, the

Government shall not be liable to the Contractor for any amount for supplies or services not accepted, and the Contractor shall be liable to the Government for any and all rights and remedies provided by law. If it is determined that the Government improperly terminated this contract for default, such termination shall be deemed a termination for convenience.

(n) Title. Unless specified elsewhere in this contract, title to items furnished under this contract shall pass to the Government upon acceptance, regardless of when or where the Government takes physical possession.

(o) Warranty. The Contractor warrants and implies that the items delivered under this contract are merchantable and fit for use for the particular purpose described in this contract.

(p) Limitation of liability. Except as otherwise provided by an express warranty, the Contractor will not be liable to the Government for consequential damages resulting from any defect or deficiencies in accepted items.
