The estimated quantity is 700 TV drops. Final quantities and locations shall be coordinated with the COR prior to installation.

Fisher House is not connected to the main facility, but we do have a fiber line going from our main headend TV.

Yes, in case have to add more lines to the hospital.

Page 10 #8, All installed TV drops and associated cabling should be clearly labeled in accordance with facility standards. Upon completion, the contractor shall provide updated as-build documentation identifying all installed TV drop locations.

1. majority of the cabling is not labled at this time, are they wanting us to locate cable runs and label?

If work will be done on cabling, expectation is to label and document, and provide that documentation to COR.

2. has the Building drawings been requested?

COR does have building drawings but would request if vendor can create documentation with TV drops for updated drawings.

Are floorplans for the units in scope available? With Tv locations designated?

The floor plans indicate the rooms not TVs On-site there was no area of the building designated as without wiring, all areas seem to be retrofit, is this correct or is there an area requiring all new wiring as it does not exist?

Yes. Not sure but all buildings should have wiring since they’re receiving TV signal Please provide the estimated number of required television drops by building, including Building 200, Building 228, Building 1, Building 113, Building 128, Building 217, Building 221, and Fisher House.

The total count for all those buildings is 500 Please identify whether the existing cable pathways are accessible above ceilings and within walls, and identify any known hard-lid ceilings, asbestos conditions, infection-control restrictions, or fire-rated penetrations that may affect installation labor and material costs.

Not sure-this should have been checked during walkthrough Please confirm whether the contractor is responsible for all core drilling, sleeves, conduit, firestopping, patch-and-paint, ceiling-tile replacement, and restoration work associated with the television-drop installation.

Yes Please clarify when the new TV's we were told are on order will be installed as they are required to tune the new system and what the time frame for expected installation is for the system and all wiring to be completed.

Depends on the award date of the contract Please provide existing drawings, cable schedules, floor plans, or room lists showing anticipated television-drop locations and cable routes We only have floor plans and doesn’t show the tv drops Please clarify whether the contractor should include a fixed allowance for unforeseen concealed conditions, inaccessible pathways, damaged existing cabling, or additional distribution equipment or if these issued should be addressed on site with a change order Yes, include it Please identify any required channel-number assignments or electronic program guide requirements for internal and commercial channels and a list of the final 104 channels desired from the entertainment package Unavailable – currently in process of replacing TVs Please provide a current inventory of televisions by building, including manufacturer, model, input types, age, and whether each television supports Pro:Idiom or requires an external converters (The boxes) Unavailable – currently in process of replacing TVs Please confirm whether television programming, scanning, remote-control programming, mounting changes, or converter-box installation is included in this requirement Yes Please identify any patient-care areas that require infection-control procedures, escorted access, restricted work windows, or additional coordination before entering rooms.

SF-1449 Box 10 and FAR 52.219-6 are 100% small business. FAR 52.219-27 (SDVOSB) is also checked and 852.219-75 is in full text. Please confirm a small business that is not SBA-certified SDVOSB or VOSB is eligible.

Total set-aside for Small Business is correct. 852.219-75 will only apply if an SDVSOB/VOSB claims Veteran’s Preference, it will otherwise be removed in final contract. 52.219-27 will be unchecked, as the set aside is 100% Small Business.

Programming quantity. The SOW cites “105 commercial television stations and four internal VA channels” and separately “estimated 700 TV drops.” Which number is the billable viewing-unit count for CLINs 0002 / 1001 / 2001 / 3001 / 4001? Are the 700 drops new homeruns, existing plant to label/reterminate, or a not-to-exceed estimate to be finalized with the COR after award?

TV Drops include the hospital with TVs and PDIs, and Fisher House.

CLIN 0002 starts September 1, 2026 while CLIN 0001 install runs through September 30, 2026. Is September programming billed only after system acceptance?

The billing will depend based on the contract award date Video-Tel 4K player: government-furnished? Input format? Is a specific modulator required?

No response provided by facility.

After-hours outages: does the 24-hour on-site rule or the 09:00–15:00 technician window control?

For outages, expectations are that a tech is here in the expected turn around time and can stay until the issue is resolved.

Are Starz and Encore multiplexes mandatory as named, or is the current DIRECTV H&I equivalent acceptable if branding has changed?

Direct TV Is there an Incumbent currently providing the service. If so could the government provide the name and contract number?

We unfortunately do not have a direct contact but service is provided by Direct TV Can the government confirm the type of TV’s connected to the DirecTV system i.e. Pro Idiom We are currently in progress to replace TVs RFQ mentions 700 drops, how many TV’s are actually connected?

Current TV count is 500, but service also includes for PDIs, TVs, and to Fisher House.

Can the government provide a count of the number to TV’s in common areas and patients rooms?

The total count is 500
