LOCS Structured Cabling RFP Addendum 4.pdf

This is an addendum to a Structured Cabling Request for Proposal issued by Lake Orion Community Schools in coordination with Plante Moran. Addendum 4, dated December 14, 2020, provides clarification and revised answers to vendor questions regarding data placement specifications, specifically addressing the function and installation requirements of audio-visual (AV) cabling drops shown on high school architectural drawings. The addendum clarifies that blue data points represent AV cabling at Interactive Flat Panel (IFP) locations, with additional single data drops on the same wall designated for PA/Audio System Control Units. Both connections function as standard network-connected devices. Where multiple AV drops are marked at a single location, field coordination between the awarded vendor and the District's AV/PA vendor will determine final component placement and installation considerations prior to installation.

AV data drops are to be coiled above ceiling at prescribed locations with a 10-foot service loop. A typical classroom configuration includes two network-connected AV devices: an Interactive Flat Panel with data connection and a PA/Audio System Control Unit with data connection. Where final location determination has not been completed at the time of bid, such as at Paint Creek, the component is assumed to reside on the same wall as the interactive flat panel, with final placement and any associated installation considerations to be confirmed during field coordination with both the awarded contractor and the District's AV/PA vendor.
