Vendor Questions and Answers:

Q1: Could you please clarify whether the requested quantity of additional batteries should increase to 24 units or remain at the originally requested quantity of 18 units?

Answer: There will be 24 batteries ---but per the scope of work and bid schedule line 1—we are asking for a price for all of the items on the list per drone bundle. Bid schedule line 2 is for the 18 additional batteries.

Q2: • Neither DJI nor Camrise provides 24/7 lifetime technical support. Support is available Monday through Friday during standard business hours. Unfortunately, we are not aware of any company that offers 24/7 lifetime support for this platform, even as a paid service.?

Answer: We are requesting a vendor be available to provide these services.

Q3: • To deliver a mission-ready system, each drone requires activation, account setup, and password configuration. I recommend including these tasks as part of the on-site training to ensure everything is properly configured before deployment. ?

Answer: The specifications require for the systems to be prepared, tested, and ready for flight upon delivery, so on-site training can be focused on flight training .

Q4: • Requiring travel to the customer's site for every service issue could result in significant and unnecessary costs. Most technical issues can be resolved remotely over the phone or through online support. If a drone is damaged or crashes, it will need to be shipped to our service center for a complete inspection and repair, as these types of repairs cannot be performed on-site.

Answer: The specifications require a vendor to handle these services, as well as, any claims with the manufacture on our behalf at no extra cost to the Department aside from repair costs.

Q5: -What is needed for on-site training and for how long?

Answer: Onsite training typically is a 2 day event. Delivery and set up with some night time operations. Finish the next day with day time operations and any questions concerns.

Q6 -For the photos of each item needed, are the photos supposed to be from the catalog or are they of the actual items being delivered? Is any pertinent information, such as serial numbers required?

Answer: This is a brand specific solicitation. We are only accepting bids for the exact brand items listed, no pictures are needed.

Q7. What type of insurance is needed? Since my company sources products and services using subcontractors, are their insurance policies sufficient?

Answer: If required all insurance documentation as specified in Section VII. Terms And Conditions -- B. Special; Contractor’s Liability Insurance – General Q8 -As for submission of bids, what pages on the solicitation do I need to fill out and submit back to you? What other documentation do you need as part of a submission.

Answer: Submit the following with your bid. If you submit electronically, you must upload an image of each item. Failure to submit any of the following may be grounds for bid rejection.

You are to submit all documentation uploaded in the same order the required items are listed below.

a. Signed and completed Cover Page and Page Two

b. Completed Bidding Schedule (Section VIII. Bidding Schedule)

c. Subcontractor Identification Form, if applicable

d. If required all insurance documentation as specified in Section VII. Terms And Conditions -- B.
