The purpose of this amendment is to post questions and answers to subject solicitation.

Joseph Warren

It appears the servers are being removed from each site, and a few other additional items, so are these items being purchased outside of this solicitation, or not being part of this design altogether? You’re correct. The AI server and AI edge devices have been removed from each site. The Hirsch Management server memory is being increased to properly manage the AI functions for all CBOC locations. No other equipment will be purchased outside of the contracted design.

If not part of the solution, then will your solution actually work the way you want it to? Collaboration within our team and with Hirsch has assured us this is a viable solution.

We do not want to get onsite to install, and things not work like you want because of missing parts. We agree with you. We want a seamless project that is fully functional at the time of installation. The Hirsch engineering team on-site will install and configure the AI functions in the Velocity Vision Software.

Contractors submitting bid proposals must provide proof of Velocity, and Velocity Vision certification with the bid proposal. All contractors and subcontractors must have a minimum of one technician on site during the installation at all times that are Velocity and Velocity Vision certified on or before 3/10/2025. One certified technician on site, at all times during installation. The technician has to be certified in Velocity Vision and Velocity certified.

It states that you want to do these installs in phases, but still require completion in 180 days, so the time frame remains the same? there is no explanation about "phases" and what that means. Due to budgetary restraints and the current budget for this project, it depends on what pricing is received from vendors. If the prices fall in range of the current budget all locations will be included in the initial award with completion of 180 days. If the quotes are higher than the current budget, then the locations will be split into phases. Phase I will incorporate all work within current budget (completion within 180 days). Then when funds become available, Phase II will occur with work to be completed within 180 days.
