CONTINUATION PAGE

We do not understand the IOS application statement on the SOW, as traditionally, Life safety devices, Code Blue Paging Systems — like those used in hospitals (ex, Multitone Access 3000, Apollo AP-700 pagers, etc.) — page only physical pagers, not iOS apps.

• Is the number of physical pagers 2,000?

• Is the requirement an IOS APP?

The system needs to support 2000 physical pagers/users. We already own hand held paging devices and were planning on re-using what we have. The requirement is for a system using physical pagers such as the Apollo AP700 but with additional capability to also send messages to a phone application, email, and text. Our current system supports email and text messaging.

How many users does the system need to support?

Is there WiFi available everywhere?

Yes

Is there Cellular service available everywhere?

No, parts of the campus have little to no cell reception.

Will the old system need to stay operational while the new system is installed?

Yes, the downtime in paging service needs to be minimized as much as possible.

Will the vendor need to provide replacement batteries for the pagers?

No, replacement batteries will be handled by the VA staff.

Will the vendor need to remove the old system?

No, VA staff will handle removing the old system once the new system is in place and operational.
