To meet the expectations of both parties, the Installation effort is developed under the following assumptions. The facility will appoint a point-of-contact ( POC ) to interface with (Insert Contractor s Name) in coordinating and completing pre-installation requirements and the actual installation. Facility POC: Joseph Locke, 803-979-0338, joseph.locke@va.gov On Site Contractor POC: [Name], [Phone#], [Email Address] The POC and/or a Dental Service Line representative will be on site throughout the installation to resolve any questions or issues, designate onsite areas for relocating equipment during the transition, remove old equipment from facility once contractor s On-Site POC removes the equipment from the dental clinic, and signs off on the installation once it is completed. For each dental clinic receiving the new equipment, that dental space will be closed during the installation period. Contractor POC On-Site time estimates are based on a closed dental space to perform the work during an 8-hour workday. If contractor On-Site needs to work around patients or incur overtime, there may be an additional cost and the POC will be informed prior to any additional charges being incurred by the contractor. To ensure an efficient installation, all products to be installed by Contractor On-Site must be received and cleared by the facility prior to finalizing the installation date. Contractor On-Site will work with the POC to create an equipment staging plan so all equipment to be installed is in the clinic and staged accordingly no later than the night before the installation date. Any equipment that is not staged and ready for installation will not be installed. This avoids additional charges for overtime and unplanned work effort. Installation does not include any training. Badge access or other access requirements will be finalized between the facility and Contractor On-Site so they can be addressed prior to the installation team deploying to the facility. Any facility specific security or medical requirements will be timely communicated to Contractor On-Site to avoid any delays at the start of the installation. Removal of shipping cartons and packing material is the responsibility of the facility. Transporting old and new equipment between the warehouse and facility is the responsibility of the facility. The facility will confirm to Contractor On-Site and that it is ready for the installation 7 days in advance of the installation date. Contractor On-Site may review this Installation Worksheet with the POC as part of the readiness assessment. Items to be Completed Prior to Installation Facility POC Identified. Government On-Site Dental Engineer assigned. Determine Installation Date(s) Is there any existing equipment that needs to be removed before installation. Any On-Site requirements of BioMed provided to Facility POC. Contractor On-Site and Facility POC agree to the equipment staging plan. Products received and cleared by the facility prior to finalizing the installation date Communicate any facility specific security or medical requirements. Badge access or other access requirements finalized. Confirmation of installation readiness 7 days ahead of time Equipment staged by the night before installation. Contractor On-Site day-of installation start time. Items to be Completed after Installation Facility POC signs off with Contractor On-Site on completed installation. Contractor removes and disposes of all shipping cartons and packing material.
