For each building can you provide the type/quantity of devices (smoke detector, heat detector, waterflow, duct detectors, etc..) to be tested? We need an accurate count of devices to develop the pricing as different devices take different time to inspect.

Also, section 1.3 of the PWS, the contractor to provide an initial assessment and provide an initial inventory.

2. Can the audio/visuals & door holders be tested during normal hours? If not, when should these be tested?

Yes. Testing can be done during normal business hours. VA requires a full year of schedule and a minimum two week notice to perform testing to allow the notification of VA staff.Â

The PWS does not include the elevator. Elevator recall is tested by another vendor.
