- Description
- Amarillo Microfiber Products Laundry Amarillo VA Health Care System (AVAHCS), Amarillo Texas, requires pickup, laundering, and delivery services for its microfiber product line, i.e., wet-mop heads, sleeves, dust-mop heads, polishing heads, cloths, etc., six days per week, Monday through Saturday, from 6010 Amarillo Blvd. W., Amarillo, Texas 79106. Vendor is required to provide these services on all holidays except New Year's Day, July 4th, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Laundering shall not include chlorine bleach or fabric softener in the laundering or drying processes. Vendor must provide clean laundry carts in good working condition with wheels in good working condition, and cart clearly identified with vendor name and cart weight. The vendor is to pick up soiled microfiber from the VA; and deliver laundered, dry, sorted, and protected microfiber products to the VA in a clean, marked cart, between 7:00 am and 9:00 am daily, Monday through Saturday. Vendor is required to weigh soiled product prior to laundering and to weigh the clean product prior to return to the VA. The VA will conduct random weights to validate vendor data. Vendor is to employ current VA and/or industry standards in handling soiled linen, including use of standard precautions. Vendor must provide records of daily soiled and clean weights to the AVAHCS monthly. These records shall be included with all monthly Invoices submitted for payment. Vendor shall provide a proposal on the basis of cost of clean weight per pound. VA estimates monthly soiled weight at 6500 pounds. Vendor must provide certification indicating calibration of weight scales annually. Vendor must assure no cross contamination of soiled and clean product, including assuring carts are cleaned prior to loading clean product for delivery to the VA. Government reserves the right to tour vendor facility as part of the vendor review process, and vendor shall demonstrate the flow of product through the laundering facility, moving from soiled to clean. Vendors demonstrating clear separation of clean and soiled processes, including a barrier wall, will be evaluated higher than those without a barrier wall. The government must conduct random inspection of vendor premises monthly; therefore, the vendor facility must be located within a reasonable distance from the AVAHCS. The vendor must be able to personally inspect and review problematic products from the vendor at the AVAHCS within 24 hours of notification of a problem to resolve issues promptly. The vendor must describe its contingency plan to continue to meet the requirements of this work requirement even in cases of emergencies such as failed equipment, utilities, vendor structure, transport, or other systems that may jeopardize continuity of service to the AVAHCS. Vendor is responsible for maintaining full compliance with applicable AVAHCS guidelines, rules, regulations and directives during the full period of performance under the contract as awarded. Specifically, this includes issues reviewed at contractor orientation to include safety, security, HIPAA compliance, environment of care, contact information, infection control/universal precautions, etc.
