2. Please confirm the following: "System shall be compatible with existing 3-wire synchronous clock infrastructure where indicated.

We don’t believe we are tying into or reusing any established clock infrastructure.

a. Correct. There is no plan to re-use any existing clock infrastructure.

3. Synchronized clocks are the basis of design and connected to the master clock. The RFP includes a statement, “Stand-Alone Operation: Clock time shall be manually settable at each clock using integral user interface without connected master clock.” Please clarify.

a. Stand-alone operation” means the clock must have the capability for local/manual time setting at the clock if needed. It does not mean the Contractor is required to manually set each clock individually for the completed installation.

The intent of the project remains a master-clock-controlled synchronized system for normal operation.

4. Timer function: Can the district explain how this would be used? A standard school installation allows for a school-wide countdown timer that is set from the web browser. Please clarify if every classroom needs to have the ability to set a count-down or count-up individually at each clock or classroom?

a. The system shall Provide timer functionality such that count-up and/or count-down features may be accessed and controlled by multiple authorized users as designated by the District’s Technology Director. The district does not require each classroom or instructor to have independent local control of timer functions at each individual clock. Local timer-setting capability at a clock should be considered a product feature only, and not a required mode of end-user operation.

5. Please confirm that demolition includes the removal of all high voltage cabling?

a. The abatement and removal of all high voltage cabling will be the responsibility of the contractor. Coordination with an electrician will be needed to complete this work.

6. Please confirm that school is able to provide location existing headend and/or master clock?

a. No Master Clock currently exists. The new Master Clock shall be located in the

MDF.

7. Please confirm that a 110V receptacle is available per IDF/MDF/tech closet?

a. Confirmed. Sufficient power will be provided in MDF/IDF location.

8. What is the required color of the LED lettering on the displays?

a. Red

9. For the demo of the 110V clocks at Northville High School, are we to just remove the existing clocks and cover/or install new clock at the location?

a. The power must be removed from the existing high voltage clock locations, and the space can be re-utilized for the new clocks.

10. If we must remove the 110V cabling, would the district have a licensed electrician to shut the power off at the panel?

a. A licensed electrician should be hired by the contractor for the removal of the 110V power.

11. I have two documents for this bid, the prints and the specs. Are there any other documents that I may be missing?

a. There are no other documents provided for this project.

12. How are we handling the mounting of these clocks?

a. Provide installation in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations and the conditions at each location.

13. May I assume there will be a box with a stubbed-up conduit at most locations?

a. No.

14. Do I need to add a Surface Mount Box at each clock location? With some additional metal raceway?

a. No, surface mount boxes and metal raceway are not required at every location by default. Provide installation in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations and the conditions at each location. Furnish surface boxes, corridor/double-face mounting hardware, adapter plates, conduit, raceway, and related accessories as required for a complete installation. Assume that, other

15. Is there any way to know which clocks need additional accessories?

a. The only location-specific “additional accessories” currently identified by the District are protective guards/cages for clocks in the gym, weight room, pool, and similar athletic areas. No other special accessories are specifically scheduled by location at this time. Bidders shall, however, include all standard mounting/installation accessories required for a complete manufacturer-recommended installation, including items such as surface boxes, adapter plates, corridor kits, and related hardware as required by each clock location and mounting condition.

16. May I assume only the Gym and Aux Gym clocks need protective cages? Maybe the fitness rooms too?

a. Please provide protective cages for the gym, fitness room and pool areas.
