Government Response: The government is looking for CAT6 plenum cable.

Question 19: CLIN 0014 requests quantity 1,500 of CAT6e plenum cable. Assuming 1,500 corresponds to feet, this looks to be an insufficient amount of cable to connect all cameras. We anticipate a requirement of closer to 7,000 feet of cable for new cameras. Can the Government please update cable quantity? Remove wording closer to

Government Response: The 1,500’ was an estimate. The contractor shall replace all existing cable with new CAT6 cable. The government understands that the 1500’ was underestimated.

Please provide info for 7,000 feet of CAT6 cable.

Question 20: During the site walk, we were not able to see the pathway above the ceiling. Can Government confirm that no new pathway will be required, and that existing pathway will be utilized?

Government Response: The existing pathway for the camera system will be utilized. There is a small crawlspace between the floors where the existing cable is being ran through.

Question 21: There are no patch cords in the requested supplies. Does the Government prefer all cameras be home-run back to the switches, as opposed to utilizing patch cables on each end?

Government Response: This system will not be on the Air Force or Navy network and shall be stand alone. Patch cords will not be necessary.

Question 22: Please confirm that there is existing power for the new POE switches, and that the Government is responsible for providing power if it does not exist.

Government Response: Two NVRs are needed. One will be located in Bldg 1184C Room 105 and the other will replace the NVR in the existing network rack.

Question 24: What camera resolution is required? The list says 2MP but the specs (SOW - 3.1 & 3.2) say 4MP.

Government Response: The government requires a 4MP resolution camera. Both the Salient Characteristics document and the Statement of work state that the camera resolution should be

4MP.

Question 25: Is the government asking for 2MP or 4MP cameras? In the “Supplies or Services & Prices or Costs” list, the government identifies “2.0 PM Indoor Dome Camera IAW statement of work, 28 May 25” and “2.0 Outdoor Megapixel (1080p) day/night dome camera.” When you go to the statement of work “3.0 Specifications,” the government specifies under “Resolution 4 megapixel.” Which is does not match the 2.0, which represents 2MP model camera, in the “Supplies or Services & Prices or Costs”.

Question 32: The total camera counts are (75) but only calls out for (70) camera license. Do we need to quote for (75) licenses?

Government Response: Refer to question #17

Question 33: “ACC7 Enterprise” is an older version of requested cameras specs requested. The requested brand of cameras current software version is “Unity8” version licenses. ACC7 is slowly being phased out by the manufacturer, do we still want ACC7 priced for this project?

Government Response: The government is not requesting a specific brand just that whatever is offered in the solution meet or exceed salient characteristics listed. Also refer to question #10

Question 34: Do cameras need to be FIPS compliant? Only time they will need to be FIPS compliant is if they will be required to go on the network. If the system will be a stand-alone system for duration of life span, then FIPS would not be required as it is more expensive based on meeting network specs for the government.

Government Response: This system will stay as a stand-alone system, it will not be integrated into the Air Force or Navy network.

Question 35: Motorola has two brands of camera lines that are identical, Avigilon and Pelco.

They have the same cameras with different name tapes on the camera. We know this will have a local network video recorder, so it will be stand-alone, this is where the difference exists, Pelco can be purchased at a much lower price than the Avigilon line. Will Pelco be acceptable for this project or is Avigilon the fixed brand to be installed?

Government Response: The government is not requesting a particular brand, only that salient characteristics listed are to meet or exceeded. IAW with the solicitation, technical evaluations are LPTA. Please submit your best offer.
