Contract Title Replacement of near end-of-life mobile floor lifts and a NEW request for mobile floor lift for Chalmers P. Wylie Ambulatory Care Center. The mobile floor lifts will have the ability to extract patients out of cars/vehicles, recover patients from the floor, transfer patients from chair to exam table and back, boosting, proning, ambulation capability and act as a ceiling lift alternative when needed. The lift is to be powered with a lifting capacity of 440 pounds with a turning radium of 52 inches. 3. Background The National VISN SPHM Directive 1611 states that all staff are to use SPHM equipment to reduce the potential for risk of staff/veteran injury. Currently, the main facility has 2 operable working mobile floor lifts for multiple areas where patient care is provided. 2 mobile floor lifts were decommissioned because of end of life. 1 Bariatric mobile lift is located at the front entrance because it is the only mobile lift that will safely maneuver over the Braille bumps. We are requesting 2 Liko Golvo 9000 Low base mobile floor lifts to replace 2 that were decommissioned. We are also requesting 1 NEW Liko Golvo 9000 Low base mobile floor lift to be placed at the back entrance of the main facility so that it is easily accessible. The Golvo mobile floor lifts will be utilized for transferring patients between devices (e.g., within the room), floor lifting, horizontal lifting, supporting patient limbs, ambulating patient, transferring patients to/from vehicles. Lift has the ability to use ambulation harness and has ambulation capability. Ability to use ambulation arm to help maneuver lift turning. Intended for use in all areas that provides patient care and can act as a ceiling lift when needed. The Golvo has parallel base-width adjustment legs that makes it easier to lift patients to/from chairs, beds and the floor. Retractable armrests help keep patients and caregivers stable, safe and secure. GOLVO 9000 Low base gives extra clearance in tight spaces (e.g., beneath our Stryker stretchers). Vertical lifting motion with flexible lift strap is ideal for horizontal lifting, ambulation and lifting from the floor. IT has a parking panel for hanger bar when not in use. Plugs into the wall to recharge the battery. No other mobile floor lifts within the facility have the capabilities that the Golvo 9000 mobile floor lift offers. The GOLVO 9000 parallel base-width adjustment legs is the only mobile floor-based lift with parallel base-width adjustment legs on the market. Other SPHM mobile floor lifts open in a V shape. The lift is compatible with current Guldmann and ARJO slings. This is the only mobile floor lift that has retractable ambulation arms which has the ability to use an ambulation harness and has ambulation capability - This can be used in physical therapy if needed. Also, the ambulation arms can be used to assist maneuvering the lift in a 360-degree turn. The Liko Golvo 9000 has low caster wheels which are small enough to fit EASILY under the Stryker Stretcher that is being used throughout the facility NO other lift within the facility has this capability. 4. Scope. The contractor shall provide all labor, supervision and all other resources required to deliver the requirements stated herein, except as may otherwise be specified in this statement of work.

Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: The National VISN Safe Patient Handling and Mobility (SPHM) Directive 1611 states that all staff are to use SPHM equipment to reduce the potential for risk of staff/veteran injury. The Safe Patient Handling and Mobility Program is requesting SPHM equipment for the Columbus VA Medical Health System CBOCs to include Marion/Newark and Zanesville to be in compliance with the National VISN SPHM Directive 1611.

Lift has the ability to use ambulation harness and has ambulation capability. Ability to use ambulation arm to help maneuver lift turning. Intended for use in all areas that provides patient care. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: No other mobile floor lifts within the facility have the capabilities that the Golvo 9000 mobile floor lift offers. The GOLVO 9000 parallel base-width adjustment legs is the only mobile floor based lift with parallel base-width adjustment legs on the market. Other SPHM mobile floor lifts open in a V shape. The lift is compatible with current Guldmann and ARJO slings. This is the only mobile floor lift that has retractable ambulation arms which has the ability to use an ambulation harness and has ambulation capability - This can be used in physical therapy if needed. Also, the ambulation arms can be used to assist maneuvering the lift in a 360-degree turn. The Liko Golvo 9000 has low caster wheels which are small enough to fit EASILY under the Stryker Stretcher that is being used throughout the facility NO other lift within the facility has this capability. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: Per End User: Multiple methods were utilized to review available market options. A vendor fair was provided to staff onsite. This writer conducted an online search of available product options. This writer spoke with multiple VA s across the country. The SPHM Program Manager at the Cincinnati VA states that their facility utilizes the Golvo 9000 for multiple uses to include car extraction/full fall rescue, boosting, repositioning and transfers. They highly recommend this product and have multiple Golvo 9000 mobile floor lifts onsite. VHA SPHM Program Manager for the Lexington VA Medical Center Lexington, KY recently completed market research to purchase the Liko Golvo 9000. It was purchased because it is user friendly, easy to understand and implement procedures when in use by staff. Discussing with other SPHM PM s, VHA Medical Centers nationally are using this equipment with great success. The Golvo 9000 was demoed by the main facility staff in a staff/vendor simulation demo. Staff agreed that the unit is user friendly, easy to understand and has a maximum weight load of 440 pounds and has ambulation capability. This writer and staff agreed that this lift is portable, and floor based for areas outside of the limited spaces covered by ceiling lifts. It also fits easily under the current Stryker Stretchers within the main facility. Per Contracting: The results of the market research showed that OEM, Hill-Rom limits the sale and service of Golvo Mobile Floor Lifts as they utilize authorized distributors to further their products. The following market research techniques were used but not limited to: VetCert, DSBS, GSA and Internet. The VetCert search using NAICS 339112 netted 658 SD/VOSBs. The DSBS search using the same NAICS netted 3,811 Vendors; added keyword GOLVO and netted 0 Vendors. The GSA search using the same NAICS netted 0 Vendors. Contracting Officer's Certification: Purchase is approved in accordance with FAR13.106-1(b). I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. ___________________________ Gina P.
