DRAFT STATEMENT OF WORK Millipore Elix 100 Preventative Maintenance Program The Phoenix VA Health Care System (PAVAHCS) located at 650 East Indian School Rd. Phoenix AZ 85012-1892 is seeking a potential qualified contractor to provide Labor and materials needed for full service contract to support two Millipore Elix 100 water treatment system, two 350 gallon water tanks (including254 nm UV lights), two Grundfos duplex water pumps, circulation loop and pre-treatment system (including water softener and pretreatment tanks) located in the Laboratory E-200, Bldg. 1, 2nd floor, for preventive maintenance requirements and any repairs that are necessary during covered period. Also included are two portable filtration systems, and one wall mounted filtration system for emergency use. The contract also includes consumables, including all filters, connectors, tubing, valves, gauges, alarms, electronic shut off valves, switches, pre-treatment tanks (electronic-grade mixed bed ion-exchange resin and back washable carbon), and all other items needed to produce CLRW quality water. Characteristics of the water include Resisitivity of > 5 M?, Conductivity of <0.2 µS/cm, Typical TOC <30 ppb, and bacterial count of <10 cfu/ml. The treated water is used in other laboratory analyzers and equipment. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) parts must be used for all repairs, maintenance and replacement items. The vendor is to accomplish scheduled and required maintenance on an automatic periodic schedule. This contract for maintenance will ensure that the water is of CLRW quality appropriate for the respective areas. The contract must include at a minimum the following services and component exchanges, in order to meet manufacturers suggested maintenance requirements. The service contract will include all parts and labor for maintenance of the systems. Preventive Maintenance: All work performed must be accomplished in accordance with manufacturer's instructions including, but not limited to, adjustments, calibrations, cleaning, lubrication, testing, disassembly, check-out, replacement of worn or defective parts, required to keep the equipment in optimum working condition producing CLRW quality water. Preventive maintenance includes work to be required on a periodic (monthly, quarterly, semiannual, etc.) basis to prevent and/or delay failures. The two Millipore Elix 100 water treatment systems are the primary means for supplying CLRW water to the laboratory. The vendor will provide on-site response within forty-eight (48) hours of a service call request for non-critical service issues. Should the system become inoperable, it is required that the service contract vendor provide on-site response for repair with potential necessary replacement parts within twenty-four (24) hours of the service call request. Hotline assistance must be available 24 hours/day, 7 days/week. Clinical Laboratory Reagent Water (CLRW): Water considered the "ideal" grade achievable with currently available water treatment/purification technology. This grade should be used in test methods requiring minimal interference from water of lesser purity. Requirements for production of water include a post membrane, 0.22 um vinyl filter and removal or organic contaminants by reverse osmosis, distillation or passage through a filter of activated carbon. CLRW deteriorates rapidly and cannot be stored for more than a few hours. By definition, CLRW cannot be purchased.
