A: This is to act as a subwoofer, the space was inaccessible during the scoping and space inside the ceiling was undetermined. During post-award it can be arranged to access this space to determine if a true subwoofer could be installed.

Q2 – 11. Pg 10 (1.6.9.c.) Is there conduit or existing speaker wire for the PA speakers for KLSE?

Q8 – Is there conduit for each speaker location? If not, is surface mount acceptable?

Q12 – Do any of the PA speakers require lift capabilities to be mounted or wire ran for either KLSE or OLYM?
