A. Solicitation Number 36C10E21R0006 is hereby amended to include VBA answers for data closet questions.

EURAL A. BENNETT

CONTRACTING OFFICER

Veterans Benefits Administration answers for data closet questions:

Questions: The RFI #17 response in amendment 5 does not provide a clear scope of work required in order to relocate the data closet to the new room. During the site visit there was no access provided to that room therefore the existing conditions are unknown. Nowhere on any drawings aside from the electrical as-builts provided in amendment 5 reflect the existing data locations that may have to be removed and/or reused at a different location. The number of data drops in the scope area is unclear. In addition, there is no information as to what other data is routed throughout the remainder of the building that may be associated with this existing data closet. Due to this we have several questions related to this data closet that have cost impacts:

a. Are we to assume the data contained within this closet serves only the area of work in this solicitation?

Answer: Yes

b. Are we to assume there is an existing PACS system in place for this building and there may be equipment located in the closet being relocated?

Answer: There is an existing PACS system in place for this building located in existing room number 127A.

1. Are we to assume the access control contained within this closet serves only the area of work in this solicitation?

Answer: No, the existing PACS system in existing closet 127A serves the entire building 10.

2. If not, can the VA please clarify and provide the extent of work needed outside this space that serves other areas?

Answer: There are card readers, electromagnetic locks, motion sensors, and request to exit (REX) buttons at the entrance to each suite and at each entrance to the building. There are also motion sensors and audibles in the records area at the back of the building.
