PREFERENCES - A NOTICE TO VENDORS (SEP. 2009): On June 16, 2009, the South Carolina General Assembly rewrote the law governing preferences available to in-state vendors, vendors using in-state subcontractors, and vendors selling in-state or US end products. This law appears in Section 11-35-1524 of the South Carolina Code of Laws. A summary of the new preferences is available at www.procurement.sc.gov/preferences. ALL THE PREFERENCES MUST BE CLAIMED AND ARE APPLIED BY LINE ITEM, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER AWARD IS MADE BY

ITEM OR LOT. VENDORS ARE CAUTIONED TO CAREFULLY REVIEW THE STATUTE BEFORE

CLAIMING ANY PREFERENCES. THE REQUIREMENTS TO QUALIFY HAVE CHANGED. IF YOU

REQUEST A PREFERENCE, YOU ARE CERTIFYING THAT YOUR OFFER QUALIFIES FOR THE

PREFERENCE YOU'VE CLAIMED. IMPROPERLY REQUESTING A PREFERENCE CAN HAVE SERIOUS

CONSEQUENCES. [11-35-1524(E)(4)&(6)]

PREFERENCES - ADDRESS AND PHONE OF IN-STATE OFFICE: Please provide the address and phone number for your in-state office in the space provided below. An in-state office is necessary to claim either the Resident Vendor Preference (11-35-1524(C)(1)(i)&(ii)) or the Resident Contractor Preference (11-35-1524(C)(1)(iii)). Accordingly, you must provide this information to qualify for the preference. An in-state office is not required, but can be beneficial, if you are claiming the Resident Subcontractor Preference (11-35-1524(D)).

Questions & Answers:

Question #1: From the site visit - behind De La Howe Hall there was a HH where one of those fiber enters the building. My understanding of the scope is that the fibers and Network equipment in De La hall has to be relocation to building (18) on the campus map (which is labelled the McKissick Memorial Chapel). In order to relocate the exist fiber we will need to install some conduit from that HH to building (18) where the New Network closet will be. Or is the new building not on the Campus map?

Answer: The building that the IT Room is going to isn't on the campus map.

Question #2: I’m also unclear about the last answer : “No, the splicing will be done outside od De La Hall then brought around the building”. It sounds like your expectation of this relocate is to reroute all incoming fibers to De La Hall out of the building then extend a new pathway for that fiber to the new building.

The 144ct SM and (1) 48ct SM looks like it comes from the street on one side of the building and there’s another (1) 12ct SM that comes from the School Building through the HH behind De La Hall. In that case, the 144ct and 12ct SM fiber will need to be splice in a New HH on that side of the building. Then a NEW conduit and fiber will need to be installed from that HH around De La Hall to the New Building or building 18 on the Campus Map.

Answer: We want all the fiber out of De La Howe Hall. All fiber wires are to be in dug around the building to be directed to the new IT Room.

Question #3: What is the name of the New building that this fiber will be relocated at?

Answer: The building is called The Supply Room.

Question #4: On another note , once this fiber is removed from this building there will not be any fiber connection for the Network drops.

Answer: The fiber drops back to De La Howe Hall will be done at a later date.
