Questions submitted by Adler Display

1. Multiple Murals-- Do you consider the design you are reviewed to have enough murals to be considered "Multiple" Answer: Please see the attached statement of work for guidance.

1. Section (3) page (4) under deliverables notes "Compliance documentation with relevant standards and regulations". Are you referring to having a place in our displays for the Army to post this information?

Answer: No, the software used to program the displays needs to be in compliance with Network guidance.

1. Section (3) page (4) under deliverables lists "Maintenance Plan for all installed components" In addition to cleaning and maintenance directions, AV Equipment comes with a manufacturers warranty, but the equipment distributor offers extended warranties for the audio visual equipment. This can sometimes be expensive, would we be precluded from being awarded the contract if this is listed as an option that is available at an additional cost?

Answer: Yes, please don’t provide options available at an additional cost.

1. Part 6 on page 5 references "Regular Inspection and maintenance Checks to ensure optimal performance of installed components" Typically this type of installation does not require regular maintenance beyond occasional cleaning which can be done with a cloth and mild soap or cleansers which we will note in our proposal. Our standard warranty is 1 year for fabricated graphic and display components and if a problem is reported, we will certainly come on site to address it, but is there a preferred or required period of time you would like us to include. Is a quarterly visit for the first year what you are looking for?

Answer: The Government will accept the standard 1 year warranty.

1. Contract Requirements for Foyer Upgrade (#7) page 6 requests a Rock Wall. Is there a preferred location and size for this.

Answer: It is not important it can be moved. We want a panel instead.

1. We would like more direction for the style or type of rock and lighting you are looking for as the cost can vary dramatically. Attached are a few photos of rock walls and lighting Rock A is actually created from faux that is incredibly realistic material and and another is real material. Do either of these reflect what you have in mind for both the "Rock" style and the lighting.

Answer: The rock wall is no longer wanted. A panel will suffice.

1. Timeline--- Is procurement / material acquisition the date the contract is award so we may not have a contract until June 7th? the Is the due date firm?
