QUESTIONS & ANSWERS: Cut-off date for contractor questions is 2:00 PM CST, 18 February

2021.

Question 18: Item 1 of the SOW, please let us know if the new PACS Server will be connected to the Air

Force Network?

Government Response: No, it will not.

Question 19: Ref Section 2 of the SOW: Please let us more about the types of doors where the new card readers will be installed, we are specifically requesting information about the 5 exterior doors. We need to know if the door frames are concrete filled or are metal and/or wooden frames. You can send us pictured of the typical exterior doors, that will help us a lot to bid on this project.

Government Response: See attached PowerPoint (CAC replacement images). Exterior doors are metal hollow core.

Question 20: Ref Section 2 of SOW regarding “Lock replacement must not compromise the integrity of the door fire rating and all holes as result of removal of existing locks shall be covered by the new Access

Control System.” Do you mean that all those 234 interior doors will require card readers to be connected to the main PACS system via Wi-Fi provided by the Air Force?

Government Response: Please see addendum 1 to the statement of work.

Question 21: In ref: 3. “Specifications and Applicable Characteristics of the Access Control System.

Mortise lock and Panic Hardware shall meet or exceed the American National Standards ANSI A156.13, Series 1000, Grade 1 Operational and Grade 2 Security”.

Does the Air Force is looking to add Panic Hardware? if the answer is yes please specify how many panic door hardware is needed for the entire project? and specify if the panic hardware will be installed in a single door only?.

Government Response: All existing panic hardware is in place already.

Question 22: In ref to section 3.3 of the SOW: “All new Wi-Q readers shall have a minimum 130,000 cycle / 2-to-5-year battery life”, will the Air Force accept alternative with equal or better functionality than these specified locks?

Government Response: Yes.

Question 23: In ref to section 3.5 Software: Will the software needs to pass RMF and DISA Standards?

Government Response: Please see addendum 1 to the statement of work.

Question 24: Attachment 1 Building 127 floor plan: Please confirm that only the 5 exterior door and 2 exterior doors will be directly hardwired to the control panels of the PACS system?

Government Response: Only front entrance (double door) will have card reader. Interior vestibule doors will not have readers. All other exterior entrances will not have readers.

Question 25: Please confirm that the other doors (66 Student rooms, 2 briefing rooms, Laundry and Day

Rooms, SCA C113 room, Computer Room and 9 offices) will use wireless lockset readers, are we correct in this assumption?

Government Response: See attached PowerPoint (Door Lock Layout)

1st floor requires 70 CAC/PIV readers (66 student rooms; 2 exterior entrance; 2 admin spaces) and 15

PIN readers (Offices; classroom, dayroom & laundry). All should be connected to Wi-Fi to record door access.

Question 26: We also need to know if the second floor and 3rd floor card readers will use wireless locksets only, please specify if assumption is correct or incorrect.

Government Response: See attached PowerPoint (Door Lock Layout)

2nd floor requires 66 CAC/PIV readers (student rooms) and 6 PIN (Office; storage, dayroom & laundry) readers. All should be connected to Wi-Fi to record door access.

3rd floor requires 68 CAC/PIV readers (student rooms) and 4 PIN(storage rooms, dayroom & laundry) readers. All should be connected to Wi-Fi to record door access.

Question 27: We also need to know if the new readers will require the use of door strikes or not, since that will be a major difference in cost.

Government Response: None were used in previous installation. Should not need now.

Question 28: And once again the question for the Wi-Fi is if the contractor will be required to provide the infrastructure or the Air Force will provide the wireless infrastructure, please specify?

Government Response: Should be able to use most/all of existing infrastructure.

Question 29: If you expect the contractor to install hardwired readers to all rooms other than the 66 each

(per floor) Student rooms, we will need to know more specifics about the types of existing door frames, and if the cables can be installed with out conduit?

Government Response: See attached PowerPoint (Door Lock Layout). Images show typical door construction within the bldg. All readers should connect to Wi-Fi system – not hard wired.

Question 30: If conduit is needed, please give us more information about the ceiling, if there are ceiling tiles that can be removed for cable installation; or if the ceiling is closed in all areas, or you can even send us few pictures.

Government Response: Ceilings and floors are generally concrete between floors. Ceilings in ‘connecting center areas’ are drop ceilings - cables and piping run thru that area. Existing Wi-Fi repeaters are installed on the sheetrock walls and use cable channels on the wall (See PowerPoint)
