Vendor Questions and Government Answers and addition of line items to Price Schedule (New line items identified in yellow) **

Question 1: Can you please confirm which serial numbers you need 24/7 coverage on?

Answer 1:

We want 24/7 technical support. This is included in the STERIS PLATINUM plan that is offered.

The only special consideration is the OR Sterilizers that we asked of has been priced out for after hour service during the normal work week and weekends to perform Preventive maintenance. That statement will incur an additional price.
