Q - Room 119 F was given as an example for the COMM Drops. In room 119F the drops are approximately 6 - 8' apart with one drop at 18" and 1 drop at 54". Will this be the required distance and height for the COMM drops at each work station?

Government Response: Yes, drops 6'-8' apart is required (Power in the middle, COMM on the left and right, identical to 119F) and there will be one (1) location where customer will have a TV installed. Height for TV will likely be closer to 80" due to the height of the new furniture. 502 CES PM will ensure location specifics on height and location are confirmed during design phase.

Any customer required COMM and electrical support in Room 119E, break room, will be specified during design and incorporated as part of the renovation.

6. Attachment F shows a blue highlighted line around the perimeters of 119 C and 119 E. Does this drawing designate the location of the extended wall around the perimeters?

Government Response: The blue highlight only shows the boundary of the renovation. Project includes Room 119C, 119E, and the highlighted wall of 119D. This is not indication of the wall extensions specifically. Refer to revised SOW, dated 8 September 2015, 3.3.3, 3.3.19, and 3.3.22.
