Continuation of Block 14. Description of Amendment/Modification

Q: I see the piano is going to the New Reception Hall for Band of the West. Where exactly in the building will this piano be delivered to?

A: The piano will be delivered to our main concert band rehearsal room of building 7246 on JBSA Lackland Air Force Base. There is very easy access to the building and this room from our back parking lot. From the parking lot there is a long gradual wheelchair ramp that leads to a set of exterior double doors, and then almost directly to a set of interior double doors to the specific room where the piano will be located.

Q: Will the piano be used for practice, concerts, receptions, recording, or all of the above? This information is crucial so we know what type of player system to install.

A: The piano will be used for practice, receptions, ceremonies, and recordings. It may also be used for some online performances, but we don’t anticipate taking it out of the facility for any reason.

Q: Does Band of the West have a tuner on contract or maintenance plan in place for the piano? If so, how often will Band of the West want this piano tuned?

A: The Band of the West does not have a tuner on contract, nor do we have a maintenance plan for the instrument. This is something that we will have to budget for annually, and we will consider separately from this contract.

Q: In addition to question 3, may we include a maintenance plan if desired?

A: For the purposes of this requirement we do not need maintenance and tuning to be a part of the contract. We will be considering tuning and maintenance separately from this contract.

Q: I see the piano will be set-up on a spider dolly. Is it safe to assume the piano will be moved from different areas of the building or even to other parts of JBSA?

A: While it is certainly possible that the piano may be moved to different parts of the building, it is unlikely. At this time, we do not anticipate moving the instrument outside of the Band of the West facility.
