Foot print - "no larger than exact footprint required" for analyzer, monitor, keyboard, CPU, printer. Provides Cost-Per-Test (CPT) pricing for 100% of tests listed in Appendix C. The cost-per-test price shall include costs covering: Analyzer(s) to include pre-analytical/post-analytical system. All reagents, standards, supplies, consumable/disposable items, parts, accessories and any other item required for the proper operation of the contractor's equipment and necessary for the generation of a test reportable result. This cost per test result will also encompass all costs associated with dilution; repeat and confirmatory testing required, producing a single test reportable; and include the materials and all other costs associated with quality control, calibration and correlation study testing that is prescribed by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI formerly NCCLS). All necessary maintenance to keep the equipment in good operating condition this includes both preventive maintenance and emergency repairs). The contractor shall provide all initial and new test validation reagent & materials needed to perform these tasks. Appendix B – Installation – Lab Chemistry Analyzer Installation: Placement and installation of a clinical chemistry analyzer and all equipment components inclusive, but not limited to, the entire laboratory associated mechanical, electromechanical parts and supplies. Installation shall conform to Industry Standards and shall meet or exceed with all applicable codes to include Local/State Regulations, NFPA, building codes, communications codes, and other codes for each Utility identified. The contractor shall provide the following services for staff which shall include the following tasks and those listed in detail in paragraphs 2 through 5. The contractor shall provide an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) for each analyzer and must be installed in the same room, to be positioned on the analyzer’s side. The UPS overall measurement and rear clearance for connection is no more than 444.5 x 741 x 130.6 cm and weigh no more than 70 kg., with a minimum clearance of 102 mm on all 4 sides for proper ventilation. This UPS is a self-operated unit that provides enough power, during a commercial power outage to the analyzer, to ensure that the chemistry analyzer system remains operational thus prevents mechanical noise of the chemistry system, therefore, producing accurate patient results. The bidding vendor/contractor shall provide the specific type of UPS required for their emergency use at the 92 MDG. Complete daily clean-up and a final (upon installation completion) clean-up of the work area. To include any need for cosmetic repairs on walls, floorings, ceiling, etc. The contractor shall provide a project manager to perform/oversee system installation, correlation, validation. The contractor shall provide all validation reagent/materials needed to perform these tasks. The contractor is responsible for the removal of the clinical chemistry analyzers at the end of the contract period or at the government's discretion.
