Question 6: Can you provide any additional salient characteristics for the furniture

Answer 6: a. Power: console power / grommet power (2x outlets/USB/CAT6)

b. Desk: Ability to house 6 CPUs (largest PC size will be D = 15.5″ x W = 7.5″ x H = 14.5″

[preferably off the floor so to not interfere with the user’s feet])

c. Desk: Cable management

d. Desk: Dual monitor mounting arms

e. Conf Table: power/data grommets

f. Straight desks: no storage

g. Printer credenza: w/min 6 pass thru grommets and storage

Question 7: We have all of the products that are you looking for except for the orange mesh back chair.

We have a task chair that has a mesh back, but it is only black. If that would be an option I could get a bid together for you.

Answer 7: Orange is the preferred color to match existing chairs, however, black will be considered.

Question 8: Is there a storage location for the furniture prior to the installation?

Answer 8: Not currently. Furniture will need to be installed upon delivery.

Question 9: Please confirm what type of power/data/IT connections are required in the table top and how many per table. (example - # of HDMI jacks)

Answer 9: On the tabletop specifically, there will be 5 power cords (2 monitors, 2 phones, 1 KVM), two display port cords that will run from monitor to KVM, 6 display port chords that run from PC (under desk) to the KVM, 2 LC Fiber lines for phones

Question 10: Please confirm that the cooling requirement listed in the scope is no longer required on the desk since the desk will be a freestanding desk in all applications except the 1 run in Room 1.

Answer 10: Correct. CPUs will be cooled by the surrounding air flow as they will not be in a solid enclosure. If the PCs are in a full enclosure, I would say fans are a requirement to keep them cool.

However, if the PCs are in open enclosures, such as a basket of sorts, that would not require additional cooling (example: https://inracks.com/control-room-furniture/summit-edge-console/)

Question 11: Due to the amount of pc/thin clients please advise on the size of the cpu.

Answer 11: Size of pc’s will vary, largest PC size will be D = 15.5″ x W = 7.5″ x H = 14.5″, but can be changed if too large.

Question 12: Please confirm if the CPU have to be off the ground via a CPU holder, etc.

Answer 12: Yes, off the ground to avoid interfering with the user’s feet while sitting at the desk.

Question 13: Confirm the run of desk in Room 1 in the center of the room do require a furniture system power to supply it w/ the ability to handle 6/7 computers per station.

Answer 13: Yes, the 3 desks are “floating” in the room and power will come from the back of the room. Furniture will accommodate 6-7 PC, multiple scanners, monitors, phones, etc.
