CONTRACTOR QUESTIONS GOVERNMENT RESPONSE

1. Access Control Notes state that, "SYSTEM SHALL BE

INSTALLED BY AMAG FACTORY TRAINED/CERTIFIED

TECHNICIAN AND BE A FACTORY AUTHORIZED

INTEGRATOR. ON SITE STAFF SHALL HAVE A CERTIFIED

SYSTEM ENGINEER ICAM PACS (CSEIP)."

I have reached out to an authorized AMAG Dealer and received the following “While we are an Amag Dealer, we currently do not have techs that hold that specification and will therefore not be able to provide you with a proposal for this project…. Honestly, I don't know another integrator that has that certification currently.”

Please evaluate and advise.

1. Our current PACS system is a FICAM Compliant PACS. CSEIP certified is required. Other project on the NIFC campus have been completed within the last year with this same security requirement.

2. Please provide direction regarding the existing furniture, accessories, and other items that currently occupy the space. There is no direction in the current drawings. If the Government wants the contractor to include this item it is imperative that this is addressed in a timely manner to afford time to solicit subcontractor pricing.

2. Construction contractor shall remove and dispose of existing modular furniture as part of this solicitation.

New furniture will be installed by a separate modular furniture contractor under the direction of the government.

Refer to Supplemental Info attachment note 3.

Tables and chairs in MPR Suite will be removed and stored by government

3. Please consider reissuing drawings that cloud or remove all references to alternate “B” for the NICC. This will help the contractor and subcontractors clearly understand the Government’s design intentions and avoid confusion.

3. Solicitation attachment

A06_NIFC_300-JWH_-

_Supplemental_Info lists specific sheets and notes regarding removal of Bid Alternate B, which refers to construction work that would create an exterior rooftop patio.

4. Please clarify the brand and model of the existing raised access flooring as called out on NICC Plans, Sheet AD101A, Keynote 9.

4. Raised floor panel system is a TECCRETE System (1250). Dynamic load rating is 900lbs at 10,000 pass.

5. Please clarify BABA requirements.

5. Refer to Part II “Clauses” 52.225-9

Our Suppliers are AMAG trained/certified technicians and factory authorized integrators, but do not have CSEIP Certificate. Is this acceptable?

6. Refer to question 1 response.

7. Suite 206 – Server Room Flooring:

What is the floor load capacity for the server room flooring in this suite? We are considering bringing in a scissor lift and need to confirm whether the flooring can support it.
