QUOTATION SUBMISSION:

Statement of Work The National Water Quality Lab (NWQL) uses two (2) Perkin Elmer Inductively Coupled Plasma – Optical Emission Spectra (ICP-OES) Optima 8300 DV instruments, with Cetac ASX-560 autosamplers, for trace metal and major cation analysis. Timely and reliable instrument service and maintenance is critical to this analysis as these instruments analyze thousands of samples per year. The NWQL is located in building 95 at the Denver Federal Center, located in Lakewood, CO.

Scope:

The Contractor shall provide full on-site service, maintenance and software support, along with travel for the Perkin Elmer and Cetac instruments listed below.

Work Requirements:

A. The Contractor shall diagnose equipment failure (including failure caused by OEM supplied software) and provide all parts, labor, testing equipment, travel, software and firmware upgrades required to maintain the equipment covered in this order to the original equipment manufacturers’ (OEM) published operating capabilities and specifications. All software and firmware provided by the Contractor shall be free of malicious code and spyware.

B. The Contractor shall perform preventive maintenance in accordance to the procedures and at the frequencies recommended by the OEM (at least annually) and is included as part of this service agreement. Preventive maintenance shall be conducted at the NWQL. All preventative maintenance calls shall be scheduled with the technical liaison or designated NWQL representative. Within 30 days of contract award, the equipment to be covered shall be inspected by the Contract Service Engineer and shall be maintained to the OEM specifications for operations and performance. The Contractor shall coordinate this inspection visit through the NWQL’s Technical Liaison.

E. The Contractor shall provide non-emergency repairs as required within five (5) working days of its verbal notification by the Technical Liaison or other authorized NWQL representative. Non-emergency repair is herein defined as “a system or component of a system that requires repair or service but can presently operate or carry out its intended function with the repair or service”. If the category of the repair is not specified by the initiator of the call, the repair shall be considered a non-emergency repair.

F. If the repair requires parts, the Contractor shall procure and arrange to have the new, OEM parts on site within forty-eight (48) hours of the initial service visit. This contract shall include the cost of all parts required for repair or service.
