FA462026QA203 Public Address System FAQ Sheet
Q: What is an Air Boss/Narrator workstation, height justifiable, to be able to see the entire runway?
A: This is a workstation for the Air Boss/Narrator to make announcements. The heigh justifiable aspect refers for the ability to see beyond the crowd and explain what is occurring on the runway in real-time.
This can be a lifted podium, stage, etc.
Q: What are the requirements or setup for the control point trailer.
A: The main requirement is for a central operations center for the PA system. A central point for media to be connected to the speakers for the purpose of music, announcements, etc. The intent is to have a single location where we can control the whole PA system. The self-contained aspect is for the protection of the equipment from people, weather, etc.
Q: SOW 4.1.5 Could you confirm that the audience area is predicted to be 4500' wide and 125' deep?
A: What is stated in the Statement of Work is correct.
Q: SOW 4.1.7 The Air Force appears to use 138-150mhz narrow band FM and possibly AM in that range too. The other possibility is 225mhz-400mhz...primarily AM, but with other modes involved. I just want to be sure we're bringing the right radio setup to receive what's being broadcast. What will they be using?
A: We typically operate the Airshow between the range 225-400 Mhz. We have both AM and FM in this range, as most Air to Ground are AM, and ground to ground (Land Mobile Radio or LMR) is FM. We can cover both AM or FM in this range.
Q: SOW 4.1.12 Does this mean a press box which is 1 or 2 inputs, 8 or so outputs to plug cameras, recorders, and possibly other sound systems into?
A: This is ensuring that all of the equipment brough will sync together and work cohesively at the identified spaces.
Q: Submitting the bids by email, is there a standard form that needs to be filled out with our quote, or are we responsible for laying out a clear format of how the event services will be priced?
A: Please see the first page of the posted Combo to fill out pricing. See FAR 52.212-1, Instruction to Offerors in the Combo. Additionally, you may submit any documents you deem necessary.
