This is for 15 weeks and an option for additional 15 weeks if needed - you specified a specific make of trailer.. is there a name brand justification for this request or are you open to other trailer manufactures? We requested a specific make of MRI unit, preferably a Siemens Aera. We are not open to other manufactures. #2-you have specific this unit be covered under a Siemens OEM service agreement as well as Bayer. I realize that all contractors may not have that specific make and model. Whoever the manufacturer of the MRI unit and the injector is, they need to be covered under a service agreement. We would like the option to use our own Siemens trained service people and support people, is that an option? As long as they are certified it will not be an issue Would the unit to be cleaned every year? This is for 15 weeks and an option for additional 15 weeks if needed.
