Courtroom

4. Can you clarify the telephone interface hybrid?

The microphones and speakers will be interfaced so that what is said in the courtroom will be picked up by the microphones and will be heard by the party on the other end of the phone line and what is said on the phone will be transmitted through the speakers so personnel in the courtroom can hear what was said on the phone.

5. Is the A/V Rack room and equipment on a separate zone for air conditioning?

It is in its own zone, and is controlled independently from the rest of the building’s A/C.

6. Are the existing conduits rigid or smurf tube?

The existing conduits are rigid.

7. Will the countertops of the jury tables/jury boxes already be cut for the rising monitors?

No, the contractor will be expected to cut the countertops and to finish, seal, and cover the cuts made in order to present a professional appearance.

8. Can we get the Electrical Drawings for the jury seating? What about for the rest of the

Courtroom?

We have the “as-designed” drawings for the courtroom. Please see attached. “As Built” drawings are not yet available.

9. Is there a reason that the touch screen for controlling rack inputs be listed as 12”, or is this a suggestion? Also, would this touch screen need to be hardwired or can it be wireless and mobile?

The touch screen can be either hardwired or mobile (wireless). There is no preference for it being hardwired, or wireless and mobile. The 12 inch size specified is simply to ensure that the screen will be of sufficient size to view available screen options displayed by the system. The controller must control rack inputs via touchscreen. The PWS will be modified to change the acceptable size from 12 inches to a range of from 10 inches to 12 inches.

10. Where do the goose-neck microphones go?

The location is highlighted on the attached drawings. Please See Attachments.

The location of the screen is highlighted on the attached drawings.

14. What are the access panels in the jury boxes for?

The access panels provide access to the area between the front and back side of the jury box. The intent is to have the LCD panels fit in the space between the front and back side of the jury box partition and the access panels will provide access for cabling.

15. Where are the endpoints of the conduit at the prosecution and defense tables?

Please see attached drawings. They are floor boxes, centered under the tables. The other ends of these are in the A/V closet, labeled as 101D in the Attachments.
