Description

SUBJECT: VA-258-11-RP-0029 Vendor Questions and Answers (3) 1.In the main solicitation contract, page 42, section B.1 it is stated "No hardware will be required to be furnished by the Contractor." In Clins 41-45 you are specifying that computer hardware be provided for the OR Workstations, Rolling Carts in Areas, PACU Beds, etc. It is also stated within the document that all PC's must have the VistA Image loaded on them. On the worksheets in the Desirable tabs - line 10 it is stated that the VA will provide all hardware. Could you please clarify what the vendors are to quote, and if hardware is to be included: Hardware is to be included as an option in the quotes CLIN 41 to 45. The line stating" No hardware will be required to be furnished by the Contractor " will be deleted. 2. Could you please specify whether the hardware to be quoted is to be inclusive of all mounting materials to both walls and Anesthesia carts, as well as UPS's and Electrical Isolation Devices required in Patient Care Areas. Yes, hardware cost quotes should include all mounting materials and electrical isolation devices and UPS's required in Patient Care Areas however they should not include UPS devices for use in IT Server Rooms. 3.How many specific locations at each site are you looking for roll around carts, and as there are many different types and manufacturer's or roll around carts, is there a VA preferred model? Quote a price per roll around cart rather than a total number and include specifications of the cart or carts you are offering. 4.Will the IRM of the VA take responsibility for the loading and maintenance of the VistA Image on any PC's provided by the responders to this RFP? If not, who is to take on this responsibility within the VA? VA would provide the computer image to the vendor and the vendor would load that image onto the provided computers. The VA will assume maintenance responsibility. 5.You have stated that this RFP is for an ARK/CIS. In both spreadsheets, 004 and 007, there are a number of specific questions that pertain strictly to an ICU CIS, not an ARK CIS ( for example Sections 4.4.2 to 4.4.44) Are we to answer these questions for an ICU system too? Since some sites do recover moderate sedation patients in their ICU on occasion we want you to understand the equipment that we have in our ICU but no we are not asking for answers to questions for an ICU system. 6.In light of the short turnaround time on this RFP and posting just before the holidays, may we request an extension of two weeks until February 4th for the return of this document? The Closing date has been extended until February the 1st. POC: Carlos Leon Contracting Officer Carlos.leon@va.gov
