Description

D.1 STATEMENT OF WORK

The contractor shall provide all labor, personnel, equipment, transport of materials to certified lab, reporting of results, disposal of hazardous/nonhazardous waste materials, proof of licensing, documentation of required service and permits when required to provide testing, tools, materials, supervision, and other items necessary to provide annual preventive maintenance and corrective repair service on-site for the equipment and systems listed in Section 3 below for the Southern Arizona VA Health Care System (SAVAHCS) and as defined in this Statement of Work (SOW).

  1. SERVICE/WORK TO BE PERFORMED:
    • The contractor will perform on-site certification testing on equipment/systems as provided for in the contract agreement. Since there are multiple types of hoods and certification requirements, the standards for each device and room are listed in the equipment table below. Service engineer/technicians must be Controlled Environment Testing Association (CETA) registered cleanroom certification professionals.

    • Travel and labor included.
    • All test equipment requiring calibration is traceable through the National Bureau of Standards.
    • Certification:

      1. All primary engineering controls (PEC) and secondary engineering controls (SEC) and passthrough certification are completed no less than every 6 months or whenever changes to the area such as redesign, construction, replacement or relocation of any PEC, or alteration in the configuration of the room that could affect airflow or air quality.  PEC, SEC and passthroughs will be retested if they fail to meet standards of USP 797 and USP 800.  Certification will occur under dynamic operating conditions. Testing for certification includes:
        1. Airflow testing (PEC and SEC)
        2. HEPA filter integrity testing (PEC and SEC)
        3. Total particle count testing (PEC, SEC and passthroughs)
        4. Dynamic airflow smoke pattern testing (PEC and SEC)
        5. Viable air sampling (PEC, SEC and passthroughs)

      1. Viable surface sampling (SS) of all PEC and SEC are performed no less than monthly and after every personnel medial fill (MF) testing.  Compounders and personnel with direct observation of compounding will need to be retested if they fail to meet standards of USP 797.  IV room, anteroom, hazardous drug (HD) room and segregated compounding area (SCA) PEC, all SEC and passthroughs will need to be retested if viable SS testing fails to meet standards of USP 797.

      1. Personnel gloved fingertip (GFT) testing shall occur no less than every 6 months for compounders and no less than annually for direct observation of compounding.  Personnel GFT testing is performed after donning of garb and MF testing.  Personnel GFT testing is performed three times after each donning of garb for initial personnel certification and once for recertification.   Compounding and personnel with direct observation of compounding will need to be retested if they fail to meet USP 797 standards.

      1. Environmental wipe sampling for hazardous drug residue is performed no less than every 6 months or more frequently as needed to verify containment per the standards of USP 800.  The kits used to complete wipe sampling must be verified prior to use to ensure the sensitivity and validity of the methods and reagents used to recover a specific percentage of known marker drugs. A minimum of 6 surface samples will be completed per certification.  Facilities can elect to expand beyond the minimum number of samples, but coordination with the contractor will be required prior to the certification visit.  Surface sampling should include the following areas:

        1. Interior of containment primary engineering control (C-PEC) and any equipment contained inside the C-PEC
        2. Pass-through chambers
        3. Surfaces in staging or work areas near C-PEC
        4. Areas adjacent to C-PECs (e.g., floors directly under C-PEC, staging, and dispensing area)
        5. Areas immediately outside the hazardous drug buffer room or C-SCA
        6. Patient administration areas

      1. No less than 5 commonly used chemotherapy drugs will be tested at your facility at the time of testing. 

  1. EMERGENCY LINE ITEM:

    • Service calls with on-site response within 24 hours (Monday to Friday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM).  Emergency Designated Response time 24 hours unless otherwise agreed upon by COR or designee: Completed as needed and price added separately.

    • Response: All requests for repair service will be considered requests for emergency service unless a statement to the contrary is made by the COR, POC or designee.  A competent service representative adequately equipped with tools, test instruments, service manuals, and repair parts will arrive at the SAVAHCS within the designated response time. The service representative may contact VA staff by phone before arrival at the SAVAHCS.  Such contacts, however, will not serve to alter the requirements for arrival on-site except when the request for service is withdrawn by designee.

  1.  PERFORMANCE:

    • Hours: Normal duty hours are 8:00 a.m. through 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, not including federal holidays.  Whenever contact with Operations Supervisor is required outside of normal duty hours, the Utility System Repair Operator (USRO) may be contacted as an alternate.  The hospital operator at extension "0" can contact the USRO via radio.
    • Preventive maintenance will be scheduled with a contact person as assigned by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), Point of Contact (POC) or designee.  This PM work must be completed in the month specified during the request unless another date is agreed upon by COR or designee. The Operations supervisor can be contacted at (520) 792-1450 ext. 15020. All contractor personnel (without exception) must report to the Maintenance & Operations Department, Bldg. 2-room B17, to sign in and receive a contractor identification badge before any work is performed and return to the same location to sign out and turn-in said badge along with the documented service report (as described in section 4, DOCUMENTATION) for the service performed.
    • Noncontract Charges: The contractor shall not perform any service that will result in additional charges without prior approval from the Contracting Officer.
