Nicholas Winne Contracting Officer 528A7-17-722 Replace Security System Pre-Bid RFI #1

1. Are scaled building drawings available for areas of performance? If not, are general layout drawings available?

VA Response: Scaled drawings are not available; however, general building layouts are available for the following facilities only:

Syracuse VAMC

528A7-17-722 Replace Security System Pre-Bid RFI #2

1) For Clarification All cabling for Door Security must be in conduit, even above suspended ceilings? If so can you confirm if it is EMT or Rigid conduit.

VA Response: Door security cabling must be in EMT to reader interface modules. Existing cable trays and J hooks may be utilized above corridor ceilings to extend cabling to intelligent system controllers in electrical rooms.

2) Infection prevention Measures: Is “tenting” of all ceiling tiles required, even in Hallways?

VA Response: Infection control measures are dependent on location and type of work being completed. Requirements shall be as determined by the Infection Control Risk Assessment (refer to specification 00 72 01 Infection Control).

Pre-Bid RFI #3

1) The walkthrough showed that 16 total (additional) readers are required on the bid instead of the 17 as detailed on pg 4 of 101 and 13 of 101. Please confirm 16 additional readers are expected (not 17)??

VA Response: Confirmed. The SOW has been revised to reflect revised quantities and locations.

2) A “new” Server is recommended due to the age of your “existing” Server. Your comment within pg 14 of 101 #5A notes “no additional computers….” Contradicts this recommendation. Please confirm you want to use your “existing” older Server??

3) Within your SOW (pg 16 of 101) #5D states you want to “……view/control ALL cameras Facility wide from Syracuse VAMC”. Viewing remote facility live video would take a tremendous amount of Band Width that we are not sure any internet provider could provide due to the quantity of cameras at your remote facilities. Please confirm how you expect this request to be accomplished??

VA Response: Viewing and controlling all remote cameras from the Syracuse VAMC is not required. The SOW has been revised to reflect that this is no longer a requirement.
