J--Elevator Maintenance Service Manchester

The purpose of this Amendment A00001 is to provide responses to contractor questions, revise the PWS and line items and correct the quote response date to 08/29/2017. See changes to the solicitation in red below. Question 1. Under the current contract Parts with a value more than $200.00 and the labor to install them are billed separately, in addition to the monthly cost. I did not see anything of that nature in the current solicitation. This is of concern because the wheelchair lift sees extremely high use so parts need to be replaced more frequently, and the parts for that lift are a significant cost. Response: See changes to the PWS and Price Schedule in red below. Question 2. This also raises the issue of obsolesce of equipment. The dumbwaiter is not currently in use and there s some discussion of eliminating it, but parts of it are no longer made, and so if they needed to be replaced, it would involve retrofitting parts into it, which has significant cost risks associated. Response: The dumbwaiter will be eliminated. The Contractor shall bolt the door shut and lockout/Tag out the electrical disconnect. See changes in red in PWS below. Question 3. Category 5 full load testing: Under the existing contract these are separate but under the current solicitation they are included. If they are to be included, are they to be coordinated with the visits of the 3rd party inspector, and can they be done during normal working hour or do they have to be done on a weekend?. (The last time they were done as parts of the control replacement so the elevators were already out of service) - Response: The Contractor shall work with the VA 3rd Party Inspector. The elevator load testing can be done during normal business hours.
