1. Is there separate reimbursement for obtaining necessary software and licensing to be able to access the Fire System panels programming ?

Response: No reimbursement will be made.

1. The specifications call for using VA provided parts for batteries, smoke detectors, heats, and duct detectors. If there is a failure of panel components, which would most likely be associated with an emergency call out, is the successful bidder expected to have inventory to provide such a repair ?

Response: Yes. Successful offeror will have immediate access to common panel components 24 hours per day.

1. Is there a requirement to provide system software back-ups of fire panels and Fire Network Command Center ?

Response: Yes, backups are required as changes are made.

1. Is the contractor expected to "self-perform" all work or is subcontracting permitted ?

Response: As a factory authorized provider, offeror is to self-perform system work. With the exception to writing external to panels that become damaged.

1. What is the required "on-site" response time by a qualified individual for emergency calls for service ?

Response: The required “on-site” response time is four (4) hours.
