San Juan ‐ EHRM Infrastructure Upgrades ‐ Technical Questions Clarifications

Please see the following follow up questions to previous Technical Responses. We believe the following questions were not answered correctly or in a complete way, which could result in cost discrepancies between bidders as well as potential cost increases after the award.

Original Question #43: Please clarify the hours of operation for the construction of this project including the Telecommunication portion.

Original Response: There are some areas of the facility that work can be done during normal hours like exterior construction work and some internal areas due to the type of healthcare provided, but in some areas is impossible to do it due to the impact to the service, this type of work shall be done after hours or weekends. All work shall be coordinated with the Project Manager (COR).

Follow up Question: Please give us the working hours or a percentage of off hour work. This is a problematic approach to not define the hours clearly as this could mean the VA could expect the majority of the project will be done in off‐hours which will result In higher costs due to shift differential.

Consider all exterior and interior work that don’t generate noise or interruption to the healthcare services and/patient care could be done starting from 6:30AM to 5:00PM, all exterior or interior work that generate noise or interruption to healthcare services and/patient care shall be done during off‐ hours within 5:00PM to 5:00 AM or weekends. On areas 24/7 work shall be coordinate with the COR.

Original Question #45: Employees parking spaces will be provided. Where?

Original Response: There is no parking on site for all contractor staff, only a few on the staging area.

Follow up Question: Is it the intent of the VA then to have all construction staff parking offsite? This will significantly increase project costs.

There is no parking on site for contractor’s staff due to the parking limitation, all existing contractors personnel park outside on the surrounding areas as: Maga Street, Calle Casia, as well as San Francisco

Train Station.

Original Question #46: Construction office, equipment and storage trailers spaces will be provided.

Where?

Original Response: There is no area inside the facility for massive storage, only a limited staging area for one or 2 trailers with limit storage will be provided.

Follow up Question: Please rethink this, these projects have massive amounts of material that needs to be stored on‐site as well as trailers and equipment.

Unfortunately, there is no space on the facility for massive storage.

Original Question #74: Please provide floor to finish heights and floor to structure heights for all buildings.

Original Response: There is no finish height, for the TR rooms. The TR rooms have open ceiling to the underside of the floor or roof above. Unless noted in the construction documents that there is a finish ceiling height, the ceiling height should match what is existing. Floor to structure height varies in each building.

Follow up Question: Contractor and Subcontractors need floor heights to accurately price scope of work. Please provide, if not available please provide a general height to assume for buildings.

The height for each building is generally based on a (+/‐) height from the existing condition. AE recommends Contractor to field verify all conditions since the information provided below is based of existing drawings and the as‐built condition may be different.

Building #1 Floor / Level Height

Sub‐Basement 9’‐0”

Original Question #77: Please confirm contractor to include an allowance for 10 additional 2‐ports cat

6a information outlets in their proposal per technical drawing floor plan or if the contractor shall account for additional cables required. contractor shall account for an additional 20% of cables, devices, and patch panels indicated on drawings in order to accommodate the full scope of the project within base bid.

Original Response: Correct

Follow up Question: We need to know if the contractor is to carry the 10 per sheet where shown or the 20% of additional cables/devices/patch panels.

Both. During the design phase the EHRM design team made every effort to accurately document all existing work area outlets. Based on our experience at other facilities there will be outlets missed, or added since the initial field take off was completed. The 10 outlets per page plus an additional 20% should be included to cover these outlets. The contractor will need to work with the COR to document any additions or subtractions to the final count.

Original Question #92: Please confirm if this project will require a Special Inspector of Record (SIOR) or if the VA will be satisfied with the contractor QC Manager serving this function and supervising all independent Special Inspectors required by the contract documents.

Original Response: VA will require a SIOR

Follow up Question: Please provide more detail in regard to the SIOR to price this accurately. Is this a full time SIOR for the entire duration of the project?

The SIOR services will be required every time a project’s stage gets completed. It is expected that multiple portions of the work will get completed along the project period of performance.

Original Question #93: No statement of special inspections or schedule of special inspection has been provided. Please confirm if any third‐party special inspection is required. If so, please provide a list of inspections required, the statement of special inspections, and the schedule of special inspections.

Original Response: See sheet S001 for structural requirements.

Follow up Question: Please provide a statement of special inspections and a schedule of special inspections with specific scope defined including inspection frequency.

Refer to specification section 01 45 35 and information provided on structural drawings.

Original Question #95: Suggested matrix of responsibility on sheet T1000 states “CONDUIT SLEEVES

(NOT SHOWN BUT REQUIRED FOR PROPER INSTALLATION OF SYSTEM)” Please confirm these locations or give a quantity to use as this request is conflicting with other information in the technology sheets for a scope of work. Given this is a fully designed project we would expect this to be shown on the drawings and not covered by a catch all phrase when it has not been included in the bidding documents by the designer.

Original Response: Refer to Technology Installation notes on 0‐TN000.

Follow up Question: Technology notes do not specifically address this issue as we have no information on what is existing, what has capacity and how to quantify new sleeves. Please advise or give counts to assume for new fire rated sleeves.

Field review of every wall during the design was not possible. Communications cabling shall be in conduit when passing through a wall. Contractor to provide and install new sleeves as required. Assume every corridor wall/door assembly and building separation will have walls to deck and will require a listed fire sleeve assembly. Contractor to include sleeve quantity based on new cabling quantities.

Original Question #97: Please confirm which allowances listed on sheet TN000 are accurate and to be included by the contractor in their base bid. There are differing quantities listed in multiple locations.

Original Response: Correct

Follow up Question: Please revise response and address the question, the response of “Correct” makes no sense.

Field review of every wall during the design was not possible. Communications cabling shall be in conduit when passing through a wall. The allowances listed on TN000 shall be considered accurate and our based on the contractor project phasing and utilizing existing sleeves to minimize the number of new sleeves required. Extending rough‐ins for each data device to the corridor or just stubbing the rough‐in to above ceiling and utilizing sleeves are both acceptable. The installer has the ability to utilize the means and methods they prefer. Rough ins extending to corridors is not a project requirement but an acceptable solution. The goal of the design was to not dictate the means and methods so tightly that the installer did not have flexibility when working with existing conditions. The existing conditions are going to require a great amount of flexibility.

Original Question #98: Please confirm the ceiling types for bidding purposes in rooms with data devices.

This will have a significant impact in pricing based on potential patching and access panels in these rooms if they are hard lid versus ACT.

Original Response: There is no finished ceiling in the data device rooms. The rooms have open ceilings.

There may be a couple of non‐data device rooms that will need finished ceiling replacement, which is indicated in the contract documents.

Follow up Question: Every room of every building is open to structure unless specifically noted in the drawings?

Yes, that is correct. Every data room has an open ceiling. Updates to non‐data room ceiling covered in project scope of work are noted on contract documents.

Original Question #99: Are we to assume that areas with existing data devices will not require new fire rated wall sleeves? If new sleeves are required, please provide a count so that bidders will be aligned in scope of work.

Original Response: This shall not be assumed, provide fire‐rated wall sleeves as required.

Follow up Question: We do not have enough information to quantify the number of fire rated sleeves required. Please advise or provide a count to use.

Where information on rated walls was made available from existing drawings, it is noted on contract documents. For all other conditions, contractor to carry a contingency or allowance for estimating the cost of fire rated sleeves.

Original Question #100: Suggested matrix of responsibility on sheet TN000 states “CONDUIT SLEEVES

(NOT SHOWN BUT REQUIRED FOR PROPER INSTALLATION OF SYSTEM)” Please confirm these locations or give a quantity to use as this request is conflicting with other information in the technology sheets for a scope of work. Given this is supposed to be a fully designed project we would expect this to be shown on the drawings and not covered by a catch all phrase when it has not been included in the bidding documents.

Original Response: Refer to Technology Installation notes on 0‐TN000.

Follow up Question: Technology Installation notes on TN000 do not address this as we do not have any knowledge of existing sleeve capacity or if there are even existing sleeves at all locations requiring them. Please advise and provide detailed instructions or quantities for bidding purposes.

Field review of every wall during the design was not possible. Communications cabling shall be in conduit when passing through a wall. Contractor to provide and install new sleeves as required. Assume every corridor wall/door assembly and building separation will have walls to deck and will require a listed fire sleeve assembly. Contractor to include sleeve quantity based on new cabling quantities.

Original Question #101: Please confirm the rough in required to the corridors from rooms with data outlets, is this conduit extending from the rooms into the corridors or just vertical conduit running up from the outlet? If running conduit into the fire rated sleeve, please provide a detail showing this connection.

Original Response: All wall penetrations require a sleeve. On rated wall provide a fire rated sleeve.

Follow up Question: As noted multiple times above in follow up questions, information has not been provided in sufficient detail to bidders. In addition, wall ratings have not been provided for rooms being re‐cabled.

Where information on rated walls was made available from existing drawings, it is noted on contract documents. For all other conditions, contractor to carry a contingency or allowance for estimating the cost of fire rated sleeves.

Original Question #106: Please provide wall types or assumed wall types for rooms that are being cabled and will need new fire rated sleeves. This has been problematic on many other EHRM projects as without this information the contractor has no way of knowing if coring through CMU/Masonry/Concrete is required.

Original Response: Wall types for new construction are indicated in the construction documents. Existing walls that are being cored may need a new fire rated sleeve, due to being an existing condition, the scope of work requires the contractor to verify each wall rating prior to adding penetrations.

Follow up Question: How does the VA expect the contractor to price sleeves and coring if existing wall types are not provided? Contractor can not verify wall types prior to bid, please provide more detail or an assumed number of sleeves and coring locations.

Where information on rated walls and wall types was made available from existing drawings, it is noted on contract documents. For all other conditions, contractor to carry a contingency or allowance for estimating the cost of fire rated sleeves and coring locations.

Original Question #143: Can the Superintendent or SSHO have multiple roles on this project?

Original Response: Due to the magnitude of the project VA no recommend multiple roles.

Follow up Question: Is it that VA does not recommend a Superintendent or SSHO have multiple roles or is the VA stating that they SHALL NOT have multiple roles.

VA stating that does not recommend a Superintendent or SSHO have multiple roles due to the magnitude of the project.

Original Question #49: Please confirm if an Access Control panel is needed for each TR or if there is an existing panel to be re‐utilized. Please provide this information per TR.

Original Response: An existing access control panel, with spare capacity may be used for a new TR card reader.

Follow up Question: Can the Gov't supply a more detailed report of the existing access control panel reader add‐on capabilities? If a nearby panel has an available/open reader port for new reader assignment, this data will need to be known for most effective design forward.

New TR’s will require a PIV dual authentication card reader as listed above. FICAM compliant is required.

Access control panels placed in the TR should be FICAM compatible.

Original Question #121: Please confirm if contractor is required to provide camera licenses. If so, please confirm VMS camera licensing model number & OS version.

Original Response: Yes

Follow up Question: This confirms that the contractor is required to provided camera licenses, but it does not confirm the current VMS licensing model in place with the number of currently used, currently available licenses on the VMS production system that is supposed to be reused, as requested by the Gov't. Please supply this information for the most cost‐effective path forward.

A new camera license shall be considered per camera model: EVENIP‐01 Enterprise IP Camera License

Original Question #281: Are the sufficient licenses to support the new doors?

Original Response: NO LICENSES ARE REQUIRED FOR NEW DOORS (IT DOES REQUIRED CONTROL PANELS

AVAILABLE READER PORTS).

Follow up Question: The CCURE 9000 Licensing Model is based on reader ranges that support up to a maximum number of connected readers for a given CCURE 9000 PACS instance. These are defined with licensing levels as "L" through "T" ‐ what is the current licensing assigned to this standalone

CCURE 9000 instance? What is the level expected licensing label/level needed based on the additional readers requested as part of this proposal?

Existing Ccure9000 Model Series R (512 readers) Existing Online readers (265)

Original Question #282: Keypad Readers are to be used. Is there a specific Brand & Model the VA would like installed?

Original Response: HID SIGNO 40KHNKS‐03‐00052V

Follow up Question: The HID Signo Class Readers are not part of the approved APL for Software House

CCURE 9000 end to end FICAM compliance. Is the goal of this upgrade to be fully FICAM Compliant and if so, what replacement model of HID reader does the Government endorse for this project? HID

PIVClass seems to be the most effective route forward.

New TR’s will require a PIV dual authentication card reader as listed above. FICAM compliant is required.

Access control panels placed in the TR should be FICAM compatible.

Original Question #285: Does the new Access Control need to be FICAM Compliant?

Original Response: Yes

Follow up Question: Given a HID Reader will only be fully compliant with the installation of the HID® pivCLASS® Authentication Module for each reader location, does the government anticipate the costs associated with additional wiring, enclosures, network connections, and power requires for all applicable door locations?

New TR’s will require a PIV dual authentication card reader as listed above. FICAM compliant is required.

Access control panels placed in the TR should be FICAM compatible. Provide a complete installation at each TR.

Original Question #285: Does the new Access Control need to be FICAM Compliant?

Original Response: Yes

Follow up Question: Given the current Software House Access Control Panel topology, HID PAM modules will need to be used and the following software will need to be installed a Windows Server, is the Gov't going to supply a new server for these software requirements or is it expected to run on the existing Software House CCURE 9000 server?

Validation System (APL# 10002) o pivCLASS Registration Engine for C▪CURE 9000 Release 5.11.0.0 o pivCLASS Certificate Manager Release 5.11.0.0 o pivCLASS Reader Services Release 5.11.0.0 o pivCLASS IDPublisher Release 5.11.0.0

New TR’s will require a PIV dual authentication card reader as listed above. FICAM compliant is required. Access control panels placed in the TR should be FICAM compatible. Current version of existing software is 3.0. Edge G2 requires 2.8 SP2 or better recommended GSTAR004‐POE.

Original Question #290: Panel quantity and usage: Can you provide information on the number of panels currently in use and which doors they are assigned to? This will help us evaluate a seamless upgrade and addition to the system. The plans do not address where panel systems are being controlled, which doors are assigned to a panel, or if there is added capacity within existing panels.

Original Response: VASJ COMM ROOMS, Existing Controller inventory added on Excel format (see attachments).

Follow up Question: In the "VASJ COMM ROOMS, Existing Controller inventory added on Excel format (see attachments)" documentation provided, the following existing Control Panel models from Software House are provided:

iSTAR Classic/Pro iSTAR Edge iSTAR Ultra Encrypted apC Controller

The idmanagement.gov APL for SWHouse and HID readers only validates the following SWHouse Control Panels as FICAM compliant as part of APL #10001

� PACS Infrastructure: (APL# 10001) o Software House C*CURE 9000 Release 2.70.SP5 o iSTAR eX – Series of Intelligent Controllers o iSTAR Edge – Series of Intelligent Controllers o iSTAR Pro Intelligent Controller o iSTAR Ultra Intelligent Controller

What is the plan for the existing iSTAR Classic and apC controllers forward? Are they to be upgraded with compliant hardware or are they excluded from the FICAM compliance requirement for this project?

New TR’s will require a PIV dual authentication card reader as listed above. FICAM compliant is required.

Access control panels placed in the TR should be FICAM compatible. All remaining areas with non‐FICAM compliant hardware is not part of this project.

Original Question #290: Panel quantity and usage: Can you provide information on the number of panels currently in use and which doors they are assigned to? This will help us evaluate a seamless upgrade and addition to the system. The plans do not address where panel systems are being controlled, which doors are assigned to a panel, or if there is added capacity within existing panels.

Original Response: VASJ COMM ROOMS, Existing Controller inventory added on Excel format (see attachments).

Follow up Question: Given the age of some of the panels, a replacement strategy must be implemented for FICAM compliance. The suggest path here is replacing all panels with Edge G2 or

Ultra panels, reusing existing where possible (updated inventory pending) and leverage a different

FICAM compliant validation engine running on the existing CCURE 9000 server. This plan would also replace all readers in all locations with a different type of reader geared towards this topology best practices and FICAM Compliance. Is this something the Government has discussed, accepted, or rejected to date?

New TR’s will require a PIV dual authentication card reader as listed above. FICAM compliant is required.

Access control panels placed in the TR should be FICAM compatible. All remaining areas with non‐FICAM compliant hardware is not part of this project.

Original Response: VASJ COMM ROOMS, Existing Controller inventory added on Excel format (see attachments).

Follow up Question: Software House Access Control Panels labeled as apC Controllers, Classic, and Pro series are all end of life from the manufacturer or support concerns going forward as EOL approaches.

How is the selected integrator to adjust warranty and support requirements to adjust for this unsupported hardware for the life of this project forward?

New TR’s will require a PIV dual authentication card reader as listed above. FICAM compliant is required.

Access control panels placed in the TR should be FICAM compatible. All remaining areas with non‐

FICAM compliant hardware are not part of this project.

Warranty is applicable to new equipment only.

This will help us evaluate a seamless upgrade and addition to the system. The plans do not address where panel systems are being controlled, which doors are assigned to a panel, or if there is added capacity within existing panels.

Original Response: VASJ COMM ROOMS, Existing Controller inventory added on Excel format (see attachments).

Follow up Question: While spreadsheets do describe the panel layout and QTY's of each Panel Model, it does not address the number of doors and used, or available, reader ports per Panel. Example, the iSTAR Ultra listed as "C&P ISTAR ULTRA SE" in "LOCATION: MAIN BUILDING 2NDF C & P TELEPHONE

ROOM" can support anywhere (8) to (32) readers. We will need this data to proper size, reuse, and recommend reader ports for requested doors. Can the Gov't provide this data?

Bid documents currently show a new AC‐SCP‐1 in each TR for the card reader. New TR’s will require a

PIV dual authentication card reader as listed above. FICAM compliant is required. Access control panels placed in the TR should be FICAM compatible. All remaining areas with non‐FICAM compliant hardware are not part of this project.

Original Question #291: We also need to know current VMS platform?

Original Response: Tyco Victor/ Video Edge

Follow up Question: How is this Victor licensing managed ‐ locally or remotely and how many devices is it currently licensed for from an ACS/VMS endpoint perspective?

License it’s installed in a remote virtual server.

Original Question #291: We also need to know current VMS platform?

Original Response: Tyco Victor/ Video Edge

Follow up Question: With the requested warranty support models required in the specifications, when does the current Warranty period for each of the ACS, VMS, and Victor platforms run out and how long does it need to be extend out to meet requirements?

THE ACS AND VMS PLATFORMS ARE CURRENTLY UNDER MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE CONTRACT,

4) There are rooms that have a floor finished listed on the room finish schedule on sheet AE302 as RT‐

01. This finish is not specified anywhere in the drawings and specifications Please clarify/specify what floor finish this is to be.

The AE302 “Material and Finish Schedule” has been updated to omit the RT‐01. This revision will be published with Addendum 02.

5) In the TR rooms, wall paint is called for finished walls. Is the contractor to paint over wall space that is going to also be covered by plywood?

Yes

6) Can the VA clarify what the existing ceilings are in each TR room? This is important to know for painting purposes. Per AE302, the ceiling is to be painted black.
