This amendment is to:

1. Post the answers to questions received in response to this solicitation.

2. The closing date of this solicitation has not changed.

3. All other terms and conditions remain the same

1. Upon conversion of the monitoring for each campus, Temple/ Waco, will a re-inspection be required at each building? If so, what percent is required to be tested?

If by conversion, you mean changing to a different monitoring company. Then yes, testing of the buildings to ensure that the alarm signal reaches the ‘new’ company should be done.

1. Are alarm, troubles and supervisory currently being monitored? Will it remain the same in the new contract?

Yes. Yes.

1. Are they currently doing point ID or contact ID for monitoring? Is the new contract going to be point ID or contact ID?

There is a mix of both. Monitoring will remain the same.

1. What is the current means of communication: cellular, POTS, network?

POTS from network.

1. Will a points list be available for each building?

No.

1. Can you clarify that replacement fire alarm items, will that require 2 people and that pricing should reflect such manpower?

The required 2 personnel is simply for the contractor to have enough people there to perform the job, such as monitor the panel when testing the FA items that have been replaced or repaired. Contractor must supply appropriate number of technicians to complete repair.

1. Pricing the fire alarm parts: are we using a specific panel type to price replacement parts to remain consistent with the mfg/ panel type? If so, please provide the panel type we are using as a guideline to price replacement parts?

Yes. Simplex 4100 es, Simplex 4010 es, Simplex 4100 u, Simplex 4010, Simplex 4010, Simplex 4004, Simplex 4100.

1. Please verify the materials listed in the unit pricing are to be “certified new Simplex materials” for Simplex equipment?

Yes

1. The current monitoring provider (JCI) shows more buildings currently being monitored than is on the VA’s list of buildings contained in the RFP. Will these need to be added to the contract after award by modification?

Should the number of monitored panels change after award, pricing may be adjusted according to the unit cost of the initial bid submitted.
