Section 1 - GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1. Scope of Work

1.1.1 This document contains the technical provisions for laundry/linen services that are to be provided to the South Texas Veterans Health Care System Fisher House.

1.1.1.1. The work required by this SOW consists of furnishing the physical laundry plant (at an off-site location), all labor, supervision, management, management support, supplies, ancillary equipment, vehicles and materials necessary for accomplishment of complete laundry/linen services, as described in Section 5.

1.1.1.2. All workmanship shall be in accordance with practices established by the

Association of Linen Management (ALM) www.almnet.org, Drycleaning & Laundry Institute (DLI) www.ifi.org (formally International Fabricare Institute), and accepted industry standards. It is intended that services shall include all processes necessary for the laundering of the articles even though every step involved is not specifically mentioned. All work shall be performed under sanitary conditions as specified by The Joint Commission (TJC). Physical separation, through the presence of a barrier wall and the use of pass-through equipment is required to maintain positive air pressure in the clean section relative to a negative air pressure in the soiled section. In no case shall clean and soiled linen share the same physical space.

* Plants in which the work is done shall be open to inspection of sanitary conditions by Government representatives. After processing, laundered articles shall be in serviceable and sanitary condition, meeting established quality and performance requirement standards.

* The Laundry Plant layout/design should incorporate a “design for asepsis” where by clean linen does not come into contact with soiled linens nor share the same physical space, thus avoiding cross-contamination or reintroduction of bacteria once processed. The Fisher House linen is to be washed in small batches separately.

When the linen arrives at the plant it should be placed in an area with a system of exhausts in the roof to ensure negative air flow, to avoid cross-contamination with other laundry. The sheets would be separated from the towels and housekeeping linen would be all washed separately on the right cycle.

Commercial dryers are required to be programmed for different types of garments.

This would allow to retain a certain percentage of moisture to avoid over drying and damaging the Fisher House linen.

All flatwork (flat sheets, pillowcases, coverlets, duvet covers, tablecloths, etc.) would need pressed in a commercial grade ironer and folded in a synchronized Folder and transferred to a Stacker. From there the linen would be stored properly or thermally shrink-wrapped. Some non-standard items as: duvet covers (double fabric, heavy), need to be hand-folded. The folder might not be able to run the non-standard items through and would create a wrinkled creased garment. Fisher House duvet covers and shams washing cycle should contain some starch to achieve a clean and “crisp” look. Throughout this process the laundry will be constantly checked for stains, odors and overall appearance. The Laundry will be clean and wrapped linen weighted (always dry, never wet) and labeled STX Fisher House.

1.1.2. Any change of function by the Government, which may affect this contract as contemplated by this paragraph, and which requires permanent adjustments in frequency or type of performance, will be coordinated with the Contractor by the COR and CO prior to initiation of such a change to assure adequate contractual coverage.

1.1.3. Notwithstanding the provisions of the contract covering inspection, acceptance, and deduction from payment, any items found to have been unsatisfactorily cleaned according to quality and performance standards established in Section 7, shall be re-cleaned at no additional cost to the Government. Such items shall be identified, for contractor recognition, by the

COR

when they are returned on the next scheduled pickup after an unsatisfactory condition is discovered. These items are to be kept separate from the normal laundry items for separate processing. Re-cleaned items will be identified separately and not charged to the Government.

1.1.3.1 Scheduled services are to be accomplished subject to emergency situations, which may require alteration of schedules. Emergency situations will be defined by the COR. In the event of a Fisher House emergency, disaster, or drill, the Contractor shall perform all laundry/linen services required by the STX Fisher House and VA Medical Facility.

1.1.4. This specification is intended to produce minimal acceptable level of performance. The Government does recognize the possibility of the Contractor achieving the same or improved results due to innovative approaches, advances in the state-of-the-art materials, equipment and supplies.
