Richard Ruffin Contracting Officer Questions & Answers/Clarifications

· What are the dimensions of the chapel, including ceiling height?

· Interior dimensions are approximate: 54’ wide, by 78’ long

· The Nave is 64’ long and the alter area 14’

· 43” on the west and east sides for the length of the Nave have 10’ hard lid ceilings

· The center of the Nave is vaulted from 10’ on the sides to 23’ at the center, this is tongue and groove planks

· What if any of the existing equipment is getting reused? Monitors, cameras, speakers, etc.

· We currently have 2 Vaddio Cameras mounted on the north wall of the chapel. One pointing at the pulpit and the other a broad view. We would like to keep the cameras and controllers.

· Please include an option to replace the cameras and controllers.

· If any existing equipment is getting reused, what is the Manufacture and model #?

· (2) Vaddio - ZoomShot 20 cameras and (2) Vaddio – Quick-ConnectTM USB Model: 998-1105-038

· The RFQ calls for an A/V rack, but there appears to be one currently. Is a new rack required?

· We would like an A/V rack that will hold all the new A/V equipment along with the items in the current Carillion Rack. This will reside on the east wall in room 002 (SW corner)

· Will all new and existing wiring be moved to room 002?

· Yes, provided we do not exceed the recommended length of run for the equipment.

· The FOXBOX equipment needed to get the chapel video signal into our TV headend will need to connect SM fiber in Room 006 (New IT Closet). All connections outside of the chapel will be assisted by the VA Electronics Dept. as long as the vendor supplies the equipment.

· What type of feed is needed into the VA's cable television system? HDMI?

· Currently the FOXBOX Tx/Rx equipment does use HDMI. If you use an alternative method to deliver this signal, we are currently using an ATX PD1000 Encoder with EM-2HD modules

· Will the feed into the VA's cable television system be in the same room as the A/V Rack?

· Dependent on replacement equipment and cable runs

· Our current TV Headend equipment is located in Building 408. This is why we need the FOXBOX or similar equipment to transmit the signal via SM Fiber.

· Prefer all equipment in Room 002 or Room 006, but exceptions can be made if necessary.

· Is the request for an output converter to CCTV feed different than the feed to the VA cable TV system?

· CCTV (Closed-Circuit TV) is not a requirement, but rather the supplied equipment should support closed captioning feed for future implementation. The SOW has been edited to reflect this and remove CCTV.

· How many Video Sources will there be?

· Currently 2

· In the “option” to replace cameras, if the same feeds can be done with 1 camera and software used to select positions, this would be fine

· This does not include a camera that may be used for “live streaming”

· Where will each Video Source be located?

· Currently located in the center of the north wall

· Would consider moving to a new location, but would have to be approved prior to installation by all VA parties, if denied, would have to stay in current location

· What is the connection type of each video Source?

· Please see current equipment above and the connection type for those models

· Are there any current speakers that will be re-used? If so, what model and quantities?

· We would like to have new speakers

· Where will the monitor requested reside?

· Preferred monitor would be portable and in close proximity to presenter to facilitate user ability to easily determine whether desired content is being broadcast and ability to change said broadcast content from live feed to document view, etc.

· Is the requested monitor for the Audience to see or to know what the cameras are seeing?

· This will be used by staff for camera positioning and operational status

· How many analog connections are needed for Musical Equipment?

· Counting Mic Inputs 6 – 8 connections

· What type of connections are needed for musical equipment, XLR?

· XLR for Mics and TRS for instruments

· What is the purpose of the Live production Switcher?

· No production crew – needs to be user friendly (small scale)

· Switch between camera angles

· Show a computer screen

· Could be combined with programmable tablet (app driven)

· It is our understanding that previous discussions lead to the Microphone counts to be lowered and changed from 3 Lavalier Mics to 1 and to add 1 headset/mic. In addition the handheld Mics were to be removed all together. Is this still the case, or should the Mics count match the current RFQ?

· 3 Lavalier Mics

· 2 Headset Mics

· 3 Wireless Handheld Mic

· What is this request for? Is it for Laptop or Rack PC? “output USB webcam for video software to vendor supplied laptop or rack computer. One way minimum, but two way is the preference.”

· Web camera provided

· The idea was for a laptop that would be used for Live Streaming services

· Laptop only working solution (not a rack mounted computer)

· Youtube or other options

· Is there an incumbent contractor currently providing this service, or is this a new requirement?

· Currently no outside vendor maintains the system. This will be an equipment upgrade, no service contract

· Equipment would be subject to the warranty period per contract

· Is cabling required? If so, what is the estimated length?

· Yes, we want new cabling installed

· see building dimensions for length

· Is conduit installation required? If yes, what is the estimated length?

· We want a Panduit installation that closely matches the current paint scheme

· See building dimensions for length

· Wire/ cable fill not to exceed 75% volume of Panduit

· Can you provide the part numbers for the equipment that needs to be installed?

· No. We are looking for a vendor to meet the requirements requested

· Is there a specific brand of equipment required for this project?

· No, Vendor can choose brand of equipment

· Could you please provide the technical specifications for all required equipment?

· We are requesting that the vendor that bids the project provides equipment to accomplish the details requested.

· What type of interior walls are present in the installation area?

· Interior walls are sheetrock material

· There is a sleeve above the Hanging ceiling in 014 (entry before the Chapel) into the IT Closet 006

· Are the ceilings in the installation area suspended (drop ceilings) or hard lid?

· The Nave has a hard pan ceiling. Small Panduit may be surface mounted

· Is there an existing Ethernet raceway in the building (e.g., cable channels, J-hooks)?

· No, we would need a new one installed. It is possible to be surface mounted, but must be a clean and neat installation that blends in to current paint scheme

· Raceway must be sized so that finished wire/ cable volume does not exceed 75%

· Will drilling be necessary to run the cabling infrastructure?

· Some may be necessary

· Under Background, you include a need to support “bands to include vocal and musician performance”. There are no corresponding needs under the “requirements” or “display and video” sections. Please clarify your requirement.

· Just indicating that the audio project should be capable of supplying connections for musical instruments and microphones for singing

· The system is required to support “switch between multiple cameras”. But there are no camera requirements listed in the new equipment and only one camera listed as Government furnished. Please clarify your requirement.

· We are using 2 existing Vaddio Cameras.

· Would prefer to have an option in quote to replace with 2 new cameras or 1 camera that is capable of dual homing

· Why do you require “audio/video signal over fiber”? Your needs would seem to be more appropriate and less expensive as CAT6 cable. Please clarify the requirement.

· This is only for our cable TV channel insertion. From the new location of the signal transmitter (ex: Foxbox) to the New IT Closet (Room 006). The VA will provide the fiber run between 425- Room 006 and 408- Room 1884. The signal needs to be able to be sent from 425 across campus to 408 where our Cable TV headend equipment is located

· Please confirm that the “existing wires that we are to move” are the required fiber.

· A new fiber would need to be pulled into the new IT closet 006. All the old coax and any other copper we would like to have replaced.

· There is a section of the SOW entitled “Government Existing Equipment”, all of which is audio equipment which appears to be replaced by the new equipment requirement. Please confirm.

· Yes, this was to show existing setup. We want this equipment returned to the VA for proper turn in.

· The cameras were added to the Existing Government Equipment list in SOW.

· Please clarify the close captioning you intend to add and that we need to support.

· Not looking to provide closed captioning at this time, but need ability to connect a cc system for future consideration.

· Please describe the existing Government furnished equipment that is connected to the existing wires. The SOW references a single camera. Are there other items?

· There are 2 Vaddio cameras and 2 Quick-Connect controllers

· Please describe the dimensions (including ceiling height) for the space you are requesting for the requested “monitor appropriately sized for space”.

· See previous list of questions

· Please describe the channel that you want the CCTV feed to support.

· We don’t have a cctv system. We have a Cable TV system.

· The term “live production switcher” implies that use of the space requires a dedicated production assistant to make the switcher work (different from the presenter). Please confirm that this is your intent.

· See prior question “What is the purpose of the Live production Switcher?”

· It is common for chapel events to be recorded and rebroadcast. It this one of your requirements?

· Not a requirement, but if the system is capable, that would be good.

· Please clarify the term “outlet rack”.

· Power Distribution Unit, an example would be a “Panamax MR4000 Power Management System” 36C25225Q0555 0001
