Addendum #4

GENERAL___________________________________________________________________________

ITEM 1

Below, you'll find a list of RFI’s and their respective responses. Please note the revised door hardware schedule is still currently pending from Allegion.

To assist with your bidding process, we are releasing Addendum #4. This addresses most of the questions we've received thus far. It's imperative that you thoroughly review these questions. If any question you've submitted doesn't appear in the list, kindly reach out to us via email ASAP.

Questions & Answers:

Question: Can you please define what controller hardware is located in each IDF location. During the walk through yesterday 3 different types of controllers were shown to us – (VSRC-A which can NOT be reused) (LP4502 with MR52/MR50 which can be reused) and (LP4502 with VRINX single controllers which can NOT be reused).

Answer: Please refer to the photographs that were provided of each MDF/IDF. A site walk was previously to all contractors to facilitate your assessment of existing conditions.

Question Can you please confirm the door controller above each door is utilizing when using a LP4502 – is it the MR50 or VRINX – both were shown at the District.

Answer: The existing hardware is a mix of Vanderbilt, and Mercury (red) boards. Door controllers are not necessarily above the door(s). Please refer to the photographs for existing conditions for panel types and locations. Please refer to the specifications for the new controller equipment requirements. Also, a site survey was offered for the teams to investigate these conditions.

Question: Please confirm IDF locations – example only 2 IDF locations are shown in the Allison Steele Enhanced Learning Center.

Answer: The MDF and IDF locations are bolded on the drawings. The sites were surveyed with the client, and to their knowledge, these are the only existing MDF/IDF rooms with security panels.

Question: Are there any AD locks on any of the campuses?

Answer: Wilder has about 5 AD Locks on campus and Steele has 1 in the mechanical building detached from building.

Question: Are power supplies above the doors or in the closets?

Answer: QEL Kits typically get power from IDF closets. EL Kits Typically have Power Supplies at or room closest to Access Door

Question: Are there any VRINX’s above the doors?

Answer: Having VRINX’s at door location is not the standard

Question: According to the drawings, there are 200 readers existing that are to be programmed into the new system. 66 readers are new locations. However, there are 139 listed readers in the drawings that do not have a note associated with them. Are those readers to be assumed new or existing?

Answer: Keyed note 1 indicates an existing reader. Keyed note 2 indicates a new reader. The locations with CR numbers and no keyed note are mechanical doors. This numbering was left in place for the owners’ use. This was discussed at the pre-bid conference. Please see the example below for further clarification:

Example: Existing access-controlled door (keyed note 1)

Example: New access-controlled door (keyed note 2)
