SOLICITATION ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AMENDMENT #2

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q1: On the equipment price sheets, Building 3 is split up into 4 areas. How would you like this done? It is not shown on the drawings.

A1: There is no technical requirement to split Building 3 into the 4 areas discussed in the price sheets. The finished system will work together as one building. An offeror can break out their equipment pricing however they wish as long as UID (see DFARS 252.211-7003) applicable items are identified and all locations on the drawings are accounted for.

Q2: On the equipment price sheets, Irish Hill is shown but not on the corresponding drawings. Please advise.

A2: Amended drawings are issued.

Q3: Please clarify that the "Colosseum" listed on the equipment price sheets is Building 1 (DFAS)

A3: The Colosseum is a fitness center facility and is located at the southeast corner of Building 1. Amended drawings are issued.

Q4: Is Genetec currently being used or is this a new installation?

A4: This should be considered a new installation.

Q5: Is there network connectivity between sites and will be able to use it? If not how do you propose connecting the sites so all cameras can be seen from the Law Enforcement desk

A5: The infrastructure is existing between sites. This project is replacing existing analog cameras with new digital cameras using the existing connectivity.

Q6: Will we be able to use any existing network infrastructure?

A6: Yes.

Q7: Do you want a new rack mounted server located at each site or would you prefer a centralized storage solution? Is there rack space currently available to install new servers?

A7: A centralized solution is preferred.

Q8: Is it the desire to reuse existing coax and fiber or run new data cable? If reuse existing it does not appear all drawings indicate if there is coax or fiber (Drawings for Bldg. 106, Bldg. 3)

A8: The existing coax and fiber is to be reused. Our existing as-built documentation does not include the cable runs in buildings 3 and 106 but the runs exist. Bid accordingly.

Q9: What is currently in place at Tanner Hill for connectivity and are there poles that are currently being used for existing cameras that can be reused?

A9: As stated in the question 2 answer, communication infrastructure is already in-place and is to be reused.

Q10: Any limitations or special requirements for downtime of the existing cameras

A10: We would prefer no total "blackout" at all; or downtime especially on the exterior cameras and those monitoring alarmed areas should be kept to a minimum.

Q11: Is the price sheet set up to offer 2 solutions? (One to replace all existing analog cameras and one to leave existing analog cameras in place and convert the signal to digital using encoders)

A11: The original price sheet has been amended to only include the option that replaces all of the cameras.

Q12: Is training is required?

A12: Yes. The Statement of Work is amended (see 1.04 PRINCIPAL FEATURES, )

Contract is for equipment maintenance services on equipment located in areas which process classified information. Can you verify the requirement? If yes, approximately how long would it take to get clearance?

A13: The requirement is verified. The solicitation has been amended to add contract clauses and a DD254. Time to acquire clearance would vary; see the link below for further information. The contract period of performance would be variable to compensate for any delays brought about be receiving proper clearances.
