The original Alternates Form doesn’t appear to match the alternates as currently called out on the drawings. The originally provided form has Alternate #1 as changing 110” displays in

F110 & F210 down to 98” displays. The current drawings (per T2.1F) ask for an alternate to change 98” displays in F110 up to 110” displays. Will a new Alternates Form be issued? Please confirm what is currently expected as alternates.

A new alternates form is included in Addendum 4.

The smaller displays are base bid. The alternate is for the larger displays.

With the access control system being changed to Avigilon ACM, there are two PoE controllers available. They are the LP1501 &

MR62e. The LP1501 is a single-door controller (Not 2-door as listed in the Spec) and has no additional inputs for bringing in additional monitored points. This board is limited to a single-door application. The

MR62e can provide two full doors of access with additional inputs and outputs for additional monitored points. This is close to the Open Path controller originally spec’d.

These boards require a network controller to function. The LP1502 can support up to 64

MR62e boards. With the size of this project, it will require a minimum of (3) LP1502 controllers and an enclosure to house the boards and power supply. Which PoE controller is to be bid? It could be a a combination of the two based on the requirements to bring in monitored points or additional full access doors. (Specification sheets are attached)

Provide a 2-door controller as specified.

1/17/2024

Portions of the access control spec look like it was not written for PoE boards as it calls out for power supplies, relay boards, and separate terminal blocks for all connections before landing them on the boards. This is not typical for these boards. If this is a requirement larger enclosures and additional components are necessary. If not, a smaller enclosure can be used and eliminating the terminal blocks, power supplies, and relay boards.

The Specification lists the power supplies, relay boards, and terminal blocks for all connections in the event the project will require the traditional architecture for connectivity. It is not required to be provided if not required as part of the install.

The contratcor shall use it for reference only.

1/17/2024

I believe KRESA already has an access control server they use for all the ACM systems in the district. Are we to provide only provide 16-packs of reader license that will be loaded onto the existing server?

Provide a new server for the ACM system.

Access control tech drawings differ from the hardware schedule provided for reference in

Addendum 3. i.e. T1.2A door from

Collaboration CR201A to Outdoor Terrace

D101C has a card reader on only the interior while the hardware schedule has it on both sides, similar to the door between the

Outdoor Terrace and Admin Open Office

A201H that also accesses the Outdoor

Terrace. Are we to follow the door hardware schedule or the T-series sheets. SImilarly, sheet T1.2B, the door between Instructional

Studios B201 and B202 shows no card readers while the door schedule has one on each side.

This will be reviewed and updated. For bidding purposes and In the event of a discrepancy, follow the T-series sheets and specifications.

Use a 3-channel camera to provide a 180 deg view.

1/17/2024 Are VS-CM-2 and VS-CM-7 the same function?

No. The CM-2 is a (3-channel) 180 deg camera while the CM-7 is a dual head camera per the equipment list.

1/17/2024

VS-CM-2 calls out "Peanut Shaped".

Avigilon does not make a peanut shape. Axis does. Please confirm what is desired.

The CM-2 is a 180 (3-channel) camera per responses above. This will be updated in the description.
