1. We need to know what the processor, memory, and operating system requirements are?

Processor:

IntelR XeonR E5-2699 v3 2.3GHz,45M Cache,9.60GT/s QPI,Turbo,HT,18C/36T (145W) Max Mem 2133MHz (or suitable substitute)

RAM:

128GB Total

OS:

Windows Server 2016 Standard

Drives:

2.5" SAS drives RAID 5 logical configuration

Optical drive:

DVD ROM

Power Supplies:

Redundant Power Supplies 750W each

2. The specification calls for a 15KW gasoline generator. Due to Federal emission standards, there are not any appropriate gasoline generators available. Would the Government consider either Diesel of LP as an alternate?

Yes, our specification should have included a 15KW “diesel” generator

3. Will the Government allow the contractor to utilize GSA pricing on any of the equipment?

All supplies and services shall be obtained from responsible sources at fair and reasonable prices.

4. Will the graphics be a “Full” wrap or just the logos provided in the spec? Can you please provide the approximate sizes and quantities of the required graphics?

We are requesting a full wrap and will work with the selected vendor to provide all graphics.

5. Regarding the I/O panel, the specification calls for a minimum of 4 camera inputs. The photo in the spec shows 30 connectors. Can you please provide a complete list of the connectors required?

Our only requirement is minimum 4 SDI inputs 4K capable.

6. The spec calls for shore power capability. Will a power input connector suffice or does the Government require a shore power cord?

The shore power requirement is intended to provide the full capability to use shore power which would include any required power cords.

7. What do you mean about File Server, do you want to use it as one live ingest Video station? If so, we should provide Windows server operation system since you asked us for RAID.

The file server will not be a live ingest station. The six computers as described in 6.1 are for the three workstations (two editing and one ingest). The two Blackmagicdesign boxes are intended as the interface hardware from the camera (SDI ports) to the editing and ingest stations. Each workstation will have a primary and secondary computer with specs as described in 6.1 - Rack mount cases, Windows 10 64-bit Operating System, Minimum Dual 8 Core Processor, Minimum 32GB of RAM, Minimum AMD FirePro W8100 Graphics Card or equivalent, Minimum 250GB SSD Hard Drive for Operating System, Minimum 2TB 7200 RPM SATA Drive for local storage, 10/100/1000 Ethernet NIC, Six (two per machine, stacked) Dell 4K Monitor Model number: U3415Wb. The file server as described in 6.2 will be the storage device.

8. Regarding two editing stations we can support you two BlackMagic design UltraStudio 4K Extreme 3? Is it OK?

The two Blackmagic design boxes are intended as the interface hardware from the camera (SDI ports) to the editing and ingest stations. The six computers as described in 6.1 are for the three workstations (two editing and one ingest). Each workstation will have a primary and secondary computer with specs as described in 6.1 - Rack mount cases, Windows 10 64-bit Operating System, Minimum Dual 8 Core Processor, Minimum 32GB of RAM, Minimum AMD FirePro W8100 Graphics Card or equivalent, Minimum 250GB SSD Hard Drive for Operating System, Minimum 2TB 7200 RPM SATA Drive for local storage, 10/100/1000 Ethernet NIC, Six (two per machine, stacked) Dell 4K Monitor Model number: U3415Wb. The file server as described in 6.2 will be the storage device.

9. Regarding Six computers with Thunderbolt 3 in figure 6; can you be more precise since they are not computers in fact they are storage and we will provide you

6 each Thunderbolt 3 interface (LaCie 10TB d2 Thunderbolt 3 Desktop Drive) as per below details, please confirm.

- 10TB Storage Capacity

- Thunderbolt 3 & USB 3.1 Interfaces

- Max. Data Transfer Rate: 240 MB/s

- Aluminum Unibody Construction

The six computers are not storage. The six computers as described in 6.1 are for the three workstations (two editing and one ingest). The two Blackmagic design boxes are intended as the interface hardware from the camera (SDI ports) to the editing and ingest stations. Each Workstation will have a primary and secondary computer with specs as described in 6.1 - Rack mount cases, Windows 10 64-bit Operating System, Minimum Dual 8 Core Processor, Minimum 32GB of RAM, Minimum AMD FirePro W8100 Graphics Card or equivalent, Minimum 250GB SSD Hard Drive for Operating System, Minimum 2TB 7200 RPM SATA Drive for local storage, 10/100/1000 Ethernet NIC, Six (two per machine, stacked) Dell 4K Monitor Model number: U3415Wb. The file server as described in 6.2 will be the storage device.

10. Are the cameras' outputs HD-SDI, HDMI or something else?

Our cameras have both HD-SDI and HDMI output, however, our primary means is of video capture is HD-SDI. Our statement is intended as minimum of 4 HD-SDI camera inputs.

11. For purposes of the bid, do you want me to copy the panel layout exactly?

There is no need to copy the panel pictured. "I/O panel MUST be 4k capable, with a MINIMUM of 4 camera inputs" is intended as minimum of 4 HD-SDI camera inputs.

12. The statement of work states: The trailer’s axle should be rated at a minimum of 7,500lb. capacity and include a braking system. This trailer will have tandem axles. Is the 7,500lb. capacity per axle or total for both axles?

7,500lb total capacity.

13. The statement of work states: In section 3- The generator will be mounted on the trailer tongue. In section 5.4- Provide ample room for Honda Run Quiet Generator (with latching system- to prevent movement during travel). Which mounting method is preferred? Moving a 15kW generator will not be easy.

We need the 15KW diesel generator on the tongue. The statement in 5.4 is a storage space requirement for our current backup generator.

14. The statement of work states: 5.4- Provide two (2) exterior access panels to interior wiring to enable cable maintenance. Can you clarify this?

The exterior panels are intended as a "mousehole" or passthrough to allow cables to be run from inside the trailer to the exterior.

15. Are we to quote exactly what production equipment is in the statement of work?

Yes

16. Cisco is unable to identify this part number. Can you please confirm?

* Cisco Access Points or equal Two AIR-CAP3702e-X-K9

AIR-CAP3702E-x-K9: Dual-band controller-based 802.11a/g/n/ac - part number directly from CISCO website. You could also try AIR-AP3702E-UXK9.

17. - 5.4 Work Area – Our understanding of this requirement is that we provide only storage for the items listed, not any of the actual items. For instance, a means to hold a spool of 500’ SDI cable, not the cable or spool itself. Is this correct?

We are asking for storage only not the actual items.

18. The two “exterior Panels” is interpreted as a “mousehole” / passthrough, to allow cables to be run from inside the area to the exterior. Correct?

Yes, the interpretation of the exterior panels as a "mousehole/passthrough to allow cables to be run from inside the area to the exterior" is correct.
