Will this be addressed/re-written? No Is this bid for a complete installation including all new rails? If your equipment is not what we already have, then yes Would the VA please split this solicitation due to the products being independently sold of each other.

The SOW states drawings were posted with the announcement, but we do not find them in SAM. ceiling lift construction spec, SPHM design criteria Are all of the existing track systems set up to be compatible with continuous charge lifts? No Regarding the rooms noted The current lifts are new and will not reach the end of life for 10 years. And will not be changed if the current manufacturer is used . Does this mean every manufacturer other than Liko has to install a new lift? Yes; because we want standardization. Several of the rooms are noted with comments such as Need 2 steel supports , Need 4 steel supports . Are these comments referring to above ceiling attachment to structure?
