RFIs – Please see below for answers to questions that were submitted by potential vendors.

Answers below are identified by **.

1. Are the dimensions shown for the two locations the active area of the display or the overall size of the cabinets or cabinet opening for placement? If sizing is an issue, can a small pixel pitch be offered as an alternative?

**Dimensions for the active area of the display are as follows...

**Passenger Terminal sign dimensions are (Active Screen Size) 3'2" X 7'4" **Main Gate sign dimensions are (Active Screen Size) 2'8" X 7'4"

2. Regarding the monthly service, is this something the base is looking to extend beyond the first year?

**Not at this time

3. Regarding FA5240-17-Q-M063 Base Marquee Replacement, would it be possible to get pictures of the existing signs that are being replaced so we can determine the mounting requirements?

**Front gate pictures attached, picture titled “front gate back & front" only depicts one sign, the front gate marquee signs are identical, there are two total **Passenger Terminal pictures attached, titled passenger terminal **Communications port pictures attached only to identify what is on the existing signs, does not imply which communication method we are seeking.

4. I assume that the two signs at the Main Gate are single sided units. Is this the case?

**Main Gate signs are single sided

5. What is the size of the Passenger Terminal sign? The Statement of Objectives states it being larger (3'8"x7'4") than the Main Gate. Also, is the Passenger Terminal unit a single sided or double sided sign?

**Passenger Terminal sign dimensions are as follows. (Outside Diameter) 3'4" X 7'6", (Screen Size) 3'2" X 7'4" **Would like to have vendor see the Passenger Terminal site as there are fixed signage letters above and below the sign, need to ensure new signs do not obstruct

**Passenger Terminal sign is larger than the Main Gate **Passenger Terminal sign is single sided

6. How are you wanting to communicate with the signs? The RFP specs Hard wire (data cable) or wireless, but from other projects I have done for the military, they usually don't want wireless as it can allow an access point for a security breach.

**Can the vendor further elaborate how the Wi-Fi connection operates so I can determine if our computers can support this function before making a decision? Need to confirm with end user which communication method they prefer, will provide by COB 18 Sep 2017

7. What is the communication for the existing signs? Is it Wired Ethernet?

**Wired Ethernet, see attached pictures (communication ports).
