STATEMENT OF WORK
Pharmacy Hood and Cache Upgrade
Manchester VA Medical Center | 718 Smyth Road, Manchester, NH 03104
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Manchester VAMC Pharmacy has a need to relocate both a portable exhaust hood and their medication cache. The exhaust hood is currently in the same HVAC zone as other hoods, which impacts its ability to truly meet redundancy requirements. The current medication cache is improperly located within the facility.
This project will install ducting for the relocated hood, a supplemental negative-air exhaust fan, and a newly installed package HVAC unit. It will repurpose waiting room 101 into an office with two spaces and room for three desks, and will prepare room NW12 to meet pharmacy cache requirements. See Appendix A (attached) for proposed details on office relocation, exhaust hood/fan ducting path, and floorplans.
Phasing will be required to prepare new office space in 101, move employees into this space and out of E127, and finally to finish the ducting in E127. These phased tasks will be done in parallel with the rebuild of room NW12.

3.0 SCOPE AND PROJECT TASKING
3.1 Exhaust Hood Relocation
3.1.1 Relocate existing Pharmagard Negative Pressure Total Exhaust Sterile Isolator Bench/Console (Product Manual included as Appendix B), and required accompanying exhaust fan, and install all related ducting.

3.2 New Office Space in Room 101
3.2.1 Install two new partition walls in Room 101, forming two new offices.
3.3 Cache Relocation
Pharmacy's Cache is currently located in N78 and needs to be moved to NW12. NW12 requires the following upgrades to meet cache requirements:
3.3.1 Replace door. New door must be completely opaque and hollow metal, must meet 15-minute forced-entry resistant requirements, and must have a deadbolt that releases from the inside when the handle is pushed down for exit.
3.3.2 Install Security requirements:
    3.3.2.1 Entrance door must be controlled by physical access control (must interface with existing LENEL PACS).
    3.3.2.2 Entrance must be monitored by intrusion detection system (both boundary and volumetric). System must be compatible with existing DMP Receiver.
3.3.3 Repair/cover NW12 walls.
3.3.4 Permanently close southmost mailroom (NW5) door with drywall. Security requirements necessitate that "The perimeter of the Cache enclosure must be no less than 50 feet from the Loading dock and from the Mailroom."
3.3.5 Replace nearby fan coil unit (Room W50) and install ducting.
3.3.6 Ensure cache achieves required 12 air-changes per hour.

    (1) Quoters are responsible for submitting quotes, and any modifications or revisions, to the Government office designated in this solicitation by the time specified.
    (2) Any quote, modification, or revision received after the time specified for receipt is "late" and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made and the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late quote would not unduly delay the acquisition. A late modification of an otherwise successful quote that makes its terms more favorable to the Government will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.
    (3) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that quotes cannot be received by the exact time specified, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation, the time specified for receipt will be deemed extended to the same time of day on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.
    (4) Quoters may withdraw their quotes by written notice to the Government received at any time before award.
(d) Contract Award. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and make award without discussions. Therefore, the quoter's initial quote should contain the quoter's best terms. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct clarifications, if necessary. The Government may reject any or all quotes if such action is in the public interest, accept other than the lowest-priced quote, and waive informalities and minor irregularities in quotes received.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotations:
Technical
Past Performance

Evaluation Approach. The Government will evaluate quotations using the comparative evaluation process under RFO FAR 12.201-1, where quotations will be compared to one another to determine which provides the best benefit to the Government. The Government reserves the right to consider a quotation other than the lowest-priced that provides additional benefit to the Government. Quotations may exceed the minimum requirements of this solicitation. The Government reserves the right to select a quotation that provides benefit exceeding the minimum requirements but is not required to do so. Each response must meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. The Government is not requesting or accepting alternate quotations.
Technical: The quotation will be evaluated to the extent to which it can meet and/or exceed the Government's requirements as outlined in this solicitation and based on the information requested in the instructions to quoters section of this solicitation.
Past Performance: The past performance evaluation will assess the relative risks associated with a quoter's likelihood of success in fulfilling this solicitation's requirements as indicated by the quoter's record of past performance. The past performance evaluation may be based on the Contracting Officer's knowledge of and previous experience with the supply or service being acquired; customer surveys and past performance questionnaire replies; Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) at http://www.cpars.gov/; or any other reasonable basis.
Price: The Government will evaluate the price by adding the total of all line-item prices. The Total Evaluated Price will be that sum.
