Answer: To be determined in pre-production in conjunction with COR and park.

5. Is there a similar battle map in place in another NPS Visitor Center and if so, please provide video or frame grabs of the production.

Answer: The contractor can do this research.

6. 3D animation cost range can vary by many thousands of dollars per minute. Please provide a range of cost-per-minute so that proposals will be developed to allow NPS more accurate and equivalent evaluation (i.e. apples-to-apples).

ii. Further, would we have access to the heigh map used by the contractors building that diorama?

iii. If no, is the final display to be a flat display, much like a video screen or a projection screen?

Answer: The final display is a flat display, and the program should play similarly on the display screen or on a video monitor.

Answer: 84” x 48”

16. Regarding the 3D map animations and the nature of a top-down view from visitors:
