The initial response to a service call must occur within a four (4) hour timeframe of receiving the call if the call comes in during the normal work day hours Monday- Friday.

 

An initial response is considered a telephone call from a qualified technician to the COR or the arrival of a qualified technician at the location of the unit requiring service. The purpose of the initial response is to make an assessment of the nature of the problem and determine the priority level of service required.

 

If during the initial response the facility is found to be closed for the day, the Contractor's qualified technician must initiate a second return telephone call or site visit on the next business day within the first hour of normal business hours for that facility.

 

During a telephonic initial response, the technician may instruct the COR or his/her designee on how to conduct simple diagnostic tests and provide the results from such tests. The results of the diagnostic tests will be used by the Contractors and authorized ordering official or his/her designee to determine whether a site visit is necessary to make repairs and if so, to determine the priority level of the required service.

 

The Government will not be responsible for performing any maintenance or repair tasks other than conducting simple diagnostic tests, setting changes, system reboots, or technical troubleshooting methods. Any actions taken by the Government at the request of the Contractor must be at the Contractor's risk.

 

If a site visit is determined to be necessary, the priority level required service and response time for the Contractor to arrive on site must be established as follows:

 

•     Priority 1: One or more hardware/software functions are not available

Response Time:                1 Business Day

•     Priority 2: X-ray machine performance is reduced and/or frequent interferences. (This includes natural disasters which will render the machine inoperable.)

Response Time:                3 Business Days

•     Priority 3: A defect exists but it does not impede the machine's operations

Response Time:                5 Business Days

 

All on-site visits must be scheduled through the COR or his/her designee.

 

Response times must be measured from the time zone of the equipment's location. Service technicians must plan to arrive at the equipment location within the required response times and with enough time to begin work within normal business hours on the day of response.  If late afternoon arrival cannot be avoided, the Contractor must notify the COR. Service scheduled after regular business hours may be authorized by the COR on a case by case basis, at no additional cost to the Government. The Contractor is allowed 2 business days from the time of his arrival to complete repairs or to order replacement equipment. Replacement equipment must have equal or greater capabilities than the equipment that it replaced.

 

If additional time for a service call is needed, the Contractor must submit a written or verbal request to the COR within response times specified above, explaining the need for time extension and the proposed time for completion of the repair. The COR may accept or reject the request for a time extension and, if rejected, may require replacement of the equipment.

 

The Contractor must maintain a maintenance log to catalog all service requests by diagnosis, location, requests, the action taken, time expended, date completed and the name of the technician who completed the service call. The cumulative maintenance log must be made provided to the CO and COR quarterly and within 3 business days upon request.

 

The Contractor must provide a toll free customer support telephone service lines to receive routine and emergency service request and to coordinate service technician response with availability during normal business hours for all locations nationwide. The customer service representatives must be fluent in English including common terms and idioms used in the x-ray field.
