INSPECTION SERVICES:

General:

The purpose of this contract is to provide the Oklahoma City VA Health Care System with comprehensive preventative maintenance and cleaning services for its inventory of ice machines. The facility has a fleet of 54 individual ice machine units requiring semi-annual maintenance per each unit s OEM and the hospital s infection control management plan.

SERVICES AND DELIVERABLES:

The contractor shall supply all labor, materials, and other supplies needed to complete all required maintenance, testing, inspections, and cleaning in accordance with each machine s OEM.

The contractor shall be expected to perform contracted services onsite at the VA medical centers listed. The VA medical facility will not provide any materials, parts, or tools to the contractor; the VA will only provide a space for the contractor to perform the preventative maintenance services within the Engineering shops on an incremental basis.

Work shall not be performed at the same location where each ice machine sits throughout the facility. The contractor shall be expected to go to each respective ice machine location and move it to the designated location within the Engineering shops to perform maintenance so that no interruptions occur throughout the facility.

In addition to performing maintenance on each of the ice machines, the contractor shall be expected to maintain a detailed log showing clearly when each unit s preventative maintenance was performed, the locations that the unit was placed back in the facility, and the next due date for maintenance/cleaning based on a semi-annual interval. The documentation that the contractor keeps must be in two forms.

First, a hard copy log showing the dates completed with each respective technician s handwriting (do not pencil whipped).

Second, a digital Excel file showing the current inventory of ice machines and their respective locations.

Upon completion of each PM interval, the contractor shall be expected to remove any old stickers from each individual ice machine before placing the new PM sticker on the unit in a clearly visible location. The PM sticker must indicate with no ambiguity as to when the next due date is for the unit s PM. Sticker dates must adhere to the following formats: DAY-MONTH-YEAR (e.g., 15-MAR-2026).

The contractor s preventative maintenance program shall include, but not limited to, the following actions during each semi-annual service:

Vacuum/brush dust and lint on condenser coils to maintain efficiency

Clean and sanitize ice scoops for proper hygiene

Wipe dispensers, buttons, doors, drip trays and bin exterior using hospital-grade disinfectants

Apply suitable sanitizing cleaning solution (e.g., Follett Solution A) to remove mineral buildup

Use a mild, manufacturer-approved detergent and warm water to scrub interior components (e.g., bin walls, scoop holder, ice chute)

Apply suitable descaling solution to remove chemical build ups

Rinse with sanitizer solution (e.g., Follett Solution B) as per guidelines

Empty ice container bin and dispose of leftover ice do not refreeze or reintroduce to machine

Rinse thoroughly with potable water to remove residue (allow drying before producing fresh ice and discard first batch after cleaning to ensure no sanitizer remains)

Ensure procedures include water line inspection, filter replacement, mechanical parts check, and adherence to infection-control standards

Use no-touch dispensers when possible; discourage hand contact with ice

Maintain detailed records of maintenance to support infection prevention audits

In addition to the digital and hard copy deliverable, the preventative maintenance report shall cite each individual OEM s maintenance requirements/recommendations to ensure that the minimum baseline services are provided to the VA. The digital report shall be provided to the VA following each 6-month service increment. The document shall show the specific date PMs were completed, the dates printed on the PM sticker, the name of the technician who performed the service, and the VA representative reviewed the work. Again, all PM stickers must be placed on an easily visible spot on the unit.
