JOFI Questions and Answers

1. What is the budget for this project?

A: Provide your quote based on the specifications in the Scope of work and its’ attachments.

JOFI Questions and Answers

11. Arrowhead logo is called out as HDU foam. Unicor no longer uses HDU foam. Sub HPL? Or does the logo have to be carved and fully painted?

A: Design intent is to have the NPS arrowhead be a 3D sculpted and painted arrowhead.

Contractor can propose alternate materials, but a flat print on HPL will not be acceptable.

12. There are 3 mural quote/caption items with N/A as the material definition. Are these to be printed as part of the mural?

A: The quotes are an integral part of the mural graphics print file. Print-ready files shall be provided.

13. Would audio description be part of this job? If so, would hardware elements of that system be part of our responsibility?

A: Yes, Audio Description is part of contractor responsibility. Contractor must provide three iBKS beacons (See page 21 in “Attachment A- JOFI Production Design 2” for location of beacons). Contractor must also provide three iPhones to host the NPS app, which only runs on iOS (Android devices are not acceptable). Audio Tour script writing is also a contractor responsibility.
