1. Is JBSA capable of replacing cameras and troubleshooting network connectivity with the current on-base resources? Our recommendation would be to generate an RFQ for equipment only for the 121 cameras that are not functioning properly and self-perform the replacement work. Your current personnel are more than capable.

Answer: Contractor will be responsible for full design, installation, training, and government acceptance.

2. Is there an overall CCTV strategy or system design for JBSA presently that coincides with the

Air Force’s Base Modernization initiative?

Answer: No.

Answer: No

5. Is there a requirement for integration with an existing IDS system?

6. Will new cameras be required to have I/O functionality at the camera?

7. Is the base segregated by multiple commands?

Answer: No, but different commands are present in stakeholders.
