Can you clarify “System Components” referred to in Section E12, Subsections E.12.5,E.12.6 and E.12.7 of the SOW by identifying specific components.

It is presumed that these sections apply to all Servers or Workstations but are not applicable to the actual cameras which are not directly connected to any internal network. Correct. System components refers to servers and workstations. Do not enable the FTP, TelNet and Remote desktop features in accordance with E.12.5-7.

b. Question: do we have to provide HVAC system for the existing building/ locations per Note E.1.2?

Installation in USMS control center room provides sufficient HVAC cooling. Additional HVAC components are not a requirement of this proposal. The current head end panel will be removed and replaced with a new and more efficient head end panel creating less heat dissepation.

To put in a de-centralized POE switches in the 1F electrical room, is there any existing network infrastructure/switch that we can connect to or do we run new uplink to connect the camera switches back to the server room?
