Solicitation Questions and Answers
| # |
| SOW Reference |
| Question |
| Answer |
1.
| In the Project Specifications document, Section 27 51 16 - 1.8.C, it states “Under this specification, the system shall provide a complete Public Address and Mass Notification System for the entire VA campus to the speaker locations indicated on the plans.” Is this statement assurance that the current speaker placements provide complete coverage, as required under NFPA 72 for life safety systems in the spaces that will be rated as life safety, or is it incumbent on the contractor to perform an analysis and adjust speaker count and placement, if necessary, even where it contradicts the Specifications and plan notes? |
| As noted in the plans, this will be considered a life safety system in buildings 12, 53 and 65. As such, the contractor will be responsible for ensuring coverage meeting the NFPA requirement within these buildings. This will require the Contractor to perform analysis based on their specific system to ensure coverage within these buildings. |
2.
| Is a Reflected Ceiling Plan drawing available that shows ceiling types and heights? |
| Information will not be provided at this time. |
3.
| Project Specifications 2.1.E mentions ambient noise sensors, yet these sensors are not called out on plans. Please specify where these sensors are to be located. |
| Since this will be considered a life safety system in buildings 12, 53 and 65 ambient noise sensors would only be required for these buildings. However, there are not any areas of high ambient noise within these buildings and therefore they should not be needed. |
4.
| Project Specifications 2.1.E mentions volume control hardware. Under NFPA Chapter 24 guidelines, in an emergency address system, only local volume controls for ancillary functions are explicitly allowed. This applies to background music, etc. Please confirm that there are to be either a.) no publicly accessible volume control devices within this system meant to affect emergency paging levels, or b.) the nature of any ancillary audio functions (ie: background music) that are not specified. |
| Since this will be considered a life safety system in buildings 12, 53 and 65 local volume control will not be provided in these buildings. In the other buildings where the system is not considered to be Life Safety, local volume control shall be provided at locations shown on plans. |
5.
| The Project Specifications reference integration of the PA system with the telephone system. Will the phone system at projected time of install be POTS or VoIP? |
| Existing phone system is VoIP. |
6.
| Is there existing dark fiber installed between the buildings that the contractor may use for the interconnect of networked devices? |
| It is intended that the contractor provide their own network separate from the VA. |
7.
| Project Specifications 2.1.K states “The System shall interface with the Facility’s existing PAS so that a global page (aka “all call” page) is communicated to the existing PAS and the new System of this project.” What elements of the existing PAS are remaining, and what details can be provided on the existing PAS equipment that is to remain to enable contractor to specify the hardware required to interconnect? |
| This reference to the existing Public Address System (PAS) is not correct. The only Public Address System (PAS) will be what is installed new as part of this project. |
