If you have any questions concerning this opportunity please contact: Sean Cusack APPENDIX 1: Purpose and Objectives The replacement of the OR Intercom System at the Bay Pines VAHCS operating room suite, 2nd floor, building 100, Bay Pines FL. The current clinic has 9 operating rooms. This system is about 25 years old and drops out periodically for reasons unknown and we have no parts to repair it. Replacement of this equipment is warranted given its usage and age. The stations and central equipment will be replaced and the existing wiring and back boxes will be reused. Except for the addition of one station, this is simply a Stentofon equipment upgrade from the old system called Pamex MPC to a new system called Alpacom E7. The equipment requested is 9 OR wall stations, 4 Wall Masters, 1 Wall Sub Master, 6 Desk Masters, 1 Page Adapter, and 6 Receptacles plus labor for installation. A vendor used to replace the existing system should have the following important specifications: must utilize existing back boxes; must utilize existing conduit and wiring; must be bi-directional; must cover all existing locations; must allow the master location to remain unchanged; must be able to do work on the system only after normal business hours and on weekends. The best possible solution that will disturb patient care the least is to have the current system replaced by newer equipment from the same manufacturer who will re-use the existing wiring. Using this method to resolve the issues with the intercom system will aid in reducing the length of time the project will take making it a less patient and clinician disruptive process. Our healthcare providers can serve our patients better with less disruptions, this is especially true in high risk areas such as our surgical suite. This solution is also more cost effective than alternative solutions in that existing back boxes, wiring, and conduit will be reused which relieves us of having to purchase these components and the labor to install them. Standardization on equipment exactly as now used, or similar in use, is a matter of patient safety and costs. If physicians, nurses, and technicians are able to use the same or similar systems, when practically possible, they can eliminate any learning curves associated with using new systems which reduces delay in normal patient care.
