A.3 Answer to 36C24W25Q0278 – Sound Masking Questions

1. I spent some time reviewing the Bill of Materials on Friday and noticed that the RFQ is missing several essential services, including Control Head Programming, Frequency Calibration, and Paging Programming. Without these services, the system will offer only limited Sound Masking functionality, and the Paging feature will not operate at all.

We need to meet requirements to meet sound masking, paging, music.

2. I just noticed that the paging interface is listed as a Bogen UTI-312, which is an analog phone interface. However, in our experience with dozens of VA installations, the VA consistently uses digital VoIP phone systems. If they intend to integrate paging with the sound masking/paging emitters, additional hardware will be required to support this integration. The Bogen UTI-312 would not be compatible or used in this scenario.

mailto:Sonja.fields@va.gov mailto:sonja.fields@va.gov

We need to meet requirements to meet sound masking, paging, music. Will be using a digital VoIP.

3. A Sound Masking Design Drawing would allow us to identify the Sound Masking and

Paging Zones, which is critical for accurately addressing the installation component of the package.

Once awarded, design drawings will be supplied. Unless required for immediate need.

4. I am sending this email because something looks odd with you request on the delivery requirements . Is this correct or are you sending an addendum?

Delivery to the site and install.

5. We would like to know if this is a brand new contract OR if there is (was) an incumbent performing these services. If not brand new, could you please provide the current / previous contract number?

This is a brand-new install for a new contract.

6. Can you also allow site visit? Yes, date and time has been provided.

7. Is there a SM/PG design available for this project showing a wiring diagram on a reflected ceiling plan?

The current space is under construction and will need to be assessed by contractor.

8. The scope of work includes the statement that a walk through will be needed to assess specific areas requiring treatment. There was not a floor plan, ceiling height, or ceiling composition provided in this solicitation nor has a walk through been accomplished so how was it determined how many sound masking controllers and speaker amounts/ types would be needed as they are already listed in the CLIN’s?

A site visit has been scheduled for 15 August 2025 at 0930 AM.

9. All equipment listed in the CLIN’s is Cambridge Sound Management, is this a brand name only solicitation or are substitutes allowed? If substitutes are allowed, what information will be supplied to the bidder to be able to design a sound masking system for the space?

This is a brand name or equal requirement.
