If not brand new, could you please provide the current / previous contract number?

Yes, this is a purchase order for new services to install VSS.

Section D.3.4.

5 On the 2nd page drawings, the side corner exit, there is a 12MP Fisheye Camera that is supposed to cover that exit. It doesn't need to a fisheye camera. The 8MP Varifocal Vandal Proof Dome Camera will provide better coverage and will be more cost effective.

6 The New workstation that will be in

Inspector Gina's office currently does not have a UPS, it will need at least a 1500VA Battery Backup added to protect the workstation. Currently there are 2 monitors in her office for viewing. They are not 4K quality, we are proposing to an additional monitor to match the current setup. So the total will be 2 new 32" 4K monitor.

SOW D.5.1 has been edited to reflect the requested change.

7 Currently there is a 2nd workstation that was thought to be needed at the CSO's station at the X-Ray Machine. After the assessment, their main focus will not have a need for that workstation there. All that is needed is to replace the small monitor hanging from the ceiling to be a 43" 4K UHD monitor for the CSO's to view the front entrance only, as the main US Marshal's Command Room is next door.

9 At the Main Entrance to the building, on the plan it's asking for the 12MP Fisheye in order to view the whole entrance and street. There will be a big distortion if going with this type of camera and there will be no coverage of the streets. We are proposing a true180' camera in place so it has coverage of the whole street and walk way.

SOW D.3.4 covers the requirements for the camera at that location.

SOW C.8 covers the historic requirements for the facility.

We are unable to alter the camera size and placement due to the requirements listed above.

Reference SOW Section C.8.

10 In the Marshal's Main Command Control Room where the NVR will be placed.

Currently there are 4 old monitors on the Vespa mount that are displaying the FPS cameras. We are proposing utilizing the same mounts and adding 4 new 32" 4K UHD monitors for viewing for the new 4K cameras.

SOW D.5.1 has been edited to reflect that change.

Mounts may be reused as long as they will maintain the vendor warranty.

12 Is there currently a pathway to the exterior pole for the installation of the 360 camera?

Yes. Currently there is a ¾ inch EMT conduit path from the building to the pole for the existing PTZ camera.
