AV

1. Reference Amendment #4 ESS and AV System Drawings. In note 29 equipment is identified to be incorporated in the design of the AV system, but the specifications are not provided for any of the referenced equipment. In note 46 it states “The AV Contractor shall be responsible to coordinate with the Construction Contractor..” which leads me to believe that they are two different entities.

Gov’t Response: Yes. According to note 46, it is required for the AV contractor to coordinate with the General Contractor to make sure that all the infrastructures are provided by the other subcontractors for complete AV system per drawings and specifications. The Govt. is not responsible for the coordination and any other associated cost.
