J043--Medical Gas Maintenance

Q & A

Question 1. We need to get serial numbers for all of the equipment listed so we can give you an accurate price. Can you provide that or can we visit to get the information?

Answer: Due to COVID 19 limitations, a site visit is not possible at this time. Please see the attachment for a complete list of make, model and serial number of the equipment to be serviced.

Question 2. We need to know how many tip seals to replace?

Answer: Total of 30 for all equipment.

Question 3. I really need pictures of all the equipment. Model and S/N s on all equipment, including Dew point and CO Monitors. Photos of Pump and Compressor Name Plate. Photos of the Medical Dryers. Photos of the Med Dryers Model and s/n. Photos of Filter housing, or element filter parts numbers photos.

Answer: The program is working to get photos, if possible. Again, due to COVID 19 limitations many employees are teleworking and it s difficult to get onsite to get photos. The complete list of make, model and serial numbers for all equipment may have to suffice. If photos are made available, another amendment will be posted.

Question 4. The location in the description reads Aleda E. Lutz VA Medical Center in Saginaw MI; however, the statement of work reads the John D. Dingell VA Medical Center, 4646 John R, Detroit, MI. I just want to make sure that my documents are accurate when submitting.

Answer: The location for the work is at the John D. Dingell VA Medical Center, 4646 John R, Detroit, MI. Some of the information posted is not accurate. To clarify, the solicitation with an issue date of April 28, 2020 and a closing date of May 19, 2020 is the correct copy. Also reattached here for further reference.

Question 5. Who has been servicing this equipment in the past?

Answer: Brehob Corporation 1334 S Meridian St. Indianapolis, IN 46225 (a large business) primarily handled the maintenance via small purchase orders in the past. However, this current requirement has been set aside exclusively for small business and quotes from large businesses will not be considered.
