Statement of Work: General Information Title of Project: Vancouver Building 11, Room D-207A Scope of Work: The contractor shall provide all parts, overhead rails, labor, supervision, infection control processes (per VA requirements), installation, and all other resources required to deliver the requirements stated herein, except as may otherwise be specified in this statement of work. 550 or 825-pound advanced ceiling lifts as specified (with fast motion, continuous-charge room-covering rail systems, and tool-free emergency lowering, and integrated scales) are to be delivered, installed, and weight tested. Both ceiling lifts will be rated to lift a weight capacity of 850 pounds providing the facility the option to upgrade the weight capacity of the motor to 825 pounds. All work must be coordinated with Facility Maintenance Service (FMS) and Supply Chain Management Services in order to coordinate paperwork, and all new equipment must be taken to the Portland VA Warehouse (1601 E 4th Plain Blvd. Vancouver Washington 98661) for inventory record/sticker purposes. The instillation location is in the Portland VA Medical Center, Vancouver Campus; and delivery of the equipment and Installation will need to be timed according to availability of rooms. Details are provided in sections E below, Specific Mandatory Tasks and Associated Deliverables. If proposed cost exceeds budget, VA will prioritize and specify final lift instillation locations and ceiling lift motor weight capacity. Background: The Portland VA Medical Healthcare System is preforming an upgrade in the PT GYM on the Vancouver campus. The Safe Patient Handling and Mobility equipment supports the goals of VHA Directive 1611/ 2010-032- Safe Patient Handling Program (SPHM) and Facility Design. This directive requires staff not to push/pull/lift over 35 pounds and forbids the manual handling of patients to decrease organizational costs associated with staff injuries as well as decrease Days of Lost Time and modified/light duty days. The VAPORHCS Facility Maintenance Service (FMS) recommends purchasing an overhead ceiling lift built with internal metal gears instead of plastic internal gears because they have observed motors with internal plastic gears shredded or warped with use.  Performance Period/Schedule: This project shall be completed in two phases. Phase One (1): Delivery of materials: All components and materials (absent installation-specific materials) shall be delivered FOB Destination to the VA Portland Medical Center. Delivery shall occur no later than March 31, 2024. Contractor shall notify the VA FMS Point of Contact (POC), with shipping information at least two weeks prior to delivery. See Delivery Schedule for POC contact info and delivery address. Phase Two (2): Contractor shall provide all qualified personnel, materials, equipment, and services necessary to remove the current system and to install ceiling lifts in accordance with the SOW. Installation must be completed by March 31, 2024. Type of Contract: Firm-Fixed-Price General Requirements All installation shall comply with requirements of Patient Safety Alert AL14-07, including the Checklist for Installation and Relocation. The installation checklist shall be filled out for each installed lift, in addition to any checklist required by the manufacturer, and supplied to the POC. Installers shall have current certification to work on the overhead lift and rail systems. Contractor will provide evaluation of existing structure where ceiling lifts are needed and submission of plans to VA Portland Healthcare System FMS service, to assure that workable systems are installed and comply with VA design requirements and relevant standards. Contractor will coordinate with FMS service to verify access to engineering, mechanical, HVAC, and fire systems components within the mounting area of the lift units. Contractor will coordinate with FMS to schedule installations. Contractor will provide information on minimum clearances for operation of each lift, to be presented with the bid. Contractor will provide a list of all construction or modifications required to install these lifts, to be presented with the bid. The goal is to install around any obstructions without requiring VA to make construction modifications. Contractor will provide all qualified personnel, materials, equipment and services necessary to install ceiling lifts for the rooms described below under Location, including lifts, tracks, spreader bars, attachment hardware, and all other equipment necessary for safe operation. Detailed requirements are described in the Standards and Special Requirements sections. Lift systems may be configured in any way that covers the rooms best and meets the requirements. Contractor will provide installation and testing of all equipment for ceiling lifts, according to VA checklist requirements, resulting in a turnkey system. Contractor will provide training on equipment use for all new types of equipment included in this contract, one session per shift for up to 2 shifts of personnel in each affected area and for onsite trainers (up to 10 sessions scheduled after installation and before use for approximately 50 personnel), in coordination with FMS. Contractor will provide evidence of testing of all lift systems provided and schedule testing when FMS can oversee it. All 550 lbs. ceiling lifts will be rated to lift a weight capacity of 850 pounds providing the facility the option to upgrade the weight capacity of the motor to 825 pounds. Contractor will mitigate any new hazards created by installation, such as ramps over interstitial support beams that create trip hazards. Contractor will meet construction safety requirements, including construction orientation, safety training requirements, dust control requirements from the Infection Control Risk Assessment, TB testing, electrical safety requirements, and Above Ceiling Permit requirements including re-sealing any penetrations of fire barriers.
