ITEM No.2

RFI RESPONSE

-Q: Item 4 calls for of Doors, Frames & Hardware scope of work calls for low voltage wiring for their devices by them. Is this supposed to be by the Access Control Vendor?

A: This is to be covered by BC 39. Access Control & Intercom Entry.

Q: Section 28-4813 (Emergency Services Responder) is listed under BC 39. Access Control & Intercom Entry but there isn’t any Section 28-4813 in the spec book.

A: The emergency responder spec should not be included for bidders. We removed it from the spec.

Q: BC 40. Video Surveillance Systems has Sections 28 1400 & 28 1500 that should be in Bid Category 39.

A: Spec Section 28 1400, 28 1500 and 28 1300 are to be covered by BC 39. Access Control & Intercom Entry.

Q: Is the Access Control demo by the Access Control Vendor?

A: The access control vendor is to be responsible for demolition of the access control devices, particularly because we are attempting to reuse devices at a number of doors.

Q: . On Technology Page T442 there are devices that are on the plans that aren’t in the specs. These include products from Avigilon, Inovonics, STI, Viking & Werma. Part numbers for some Lockdown Items on this page differentiate from part numbers specified in Section 28 1500 on Pages 4 & 5. Are these Items to be provided and installed by the Access Control Vendor.

A: There are some discrepancies between the spec and details, but they are moot because these are for devices that are being reused - the master station and lockdown buttons at the front desk. Any other necessary items are to be provided by the access control contractor.

Q: On Technology Page T442 the Vanderbilt Control Panel Riser drawing shows a fully loaded panel. Should this be the basis of our bid- or do we quote just what is required for this project?

A: We would ask that the vendors only provide what is required for the project.
