Description of Services
VA Palo Alto Health Care System 3801 Miranda Ave. Palo Alto, CA 94304 has a requirement for a contractor to provide the following:
BACKGROUND
CenTrak RTLS Asset Tracking systems have been installed and implemented at each VISN 21 In Patient facility except for Las Vegas and Menlo Park. CenTrak utilizes a mixture of components to detect and report Asset Location, including:
Room Monitors to locate tagged assets with room level accuracy,
Virtual Wall Monitors to locate tagged assets with sub-room/bay level accuracy,
Low Frequency (LF) Exciters to report and alert when a tagged asset is leaving the building.
All of the Room and Virtual Wall Monitors, as well as most of the LF Exciters are battery powered. These systems have been installed for several years and many components batteries are reporting as having only 30 90 days battery remaining. There are numerous components that are off-line due to fully expired batteries.
These components need to be on-line and functional in order for the Asset Tracking systems to perform consistently. For the most part, the VISN 21 Medical Centers are not adequately staffed to monitor the CenTrak components and complete the battery replacement task. This Statement of Work is for the procurement of 121 days of Contractor on-site services and 24 hours of remote off-site services to assist the VISN 21 Medical Centers with CenTrak battery management.
