The AV package includes the installation of all AV Equipment as specified in the AV package. The installation dealer(s) specified in the AV package shall receive, store as required, transport to the project site, off load, inside deliver, unpack, assemble, place/install, clean, and dispose of all the trash for all AV Equipment. It is the Prime Contractor's responsibility to coordinate the building completion, occupancy, and AV System installation dates with the installation dealer(s) specified in the AV package. Any costs associated with or delaying AV Equipment shipments is the responsibility of the Prime Contractor.

The Prime Contractor shall provide and coordinate all Building Systems (HVAC, Plumbing, Fire Protection, Communications, Electrical, Data, Architectural, etc. with the AV plans and AV installation. All outlets, switches, thermostats, etc. shall be fully accessible. All sprinkler heads, fire extinguishers, ADA, etc., clearances shall be accommodated.

3.2 Installation Warranty

All AV Equipment shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and warranty requirements. All Racks shall be level and

Naval Building P-1334 - Child Development Center 60715453 aligned. All doors, drawers and accessories shall be level and aligned to open, close and otherwise operate smoothly and securely.

All AV Equipment shall be installed by the furniture manufacturer's dealer of record and not the Prime Contractor. The Government reserves the right to approve/disapprove the Prime Contractor's AV installers. In addition, installation dealer(s) must be located within a 150 mile radius of the project site unless approved by the Government Electrical Engineer. The Prime Contractor shall repair, to the Government's satisfaction, any/all damage to any facility finish that is a result of the AV installation and correct all punch list items.

3.3 Ordering Documentation

After award of the AV package, two CD copies and one binder copy of all ordering documentation, including Factory Order number (FO) and warranty information for all products, shall be provided to the Contracting Officer at the final AV walk-thru.

3.4 Post Award Changes

After award of the AV Option, any request to change the AV items must be submitted to the Contracting Officer. The AV Option will have been accepted, priced, and negotiated as detailed in the final package. Those items will have been agreed to considering color, specific type and quality of material, price, sustainability, life cycle, and dealership service.

The Government will require the Prime Contractor to provide exactly those items. Should changes become necessary, careful consideration shall be essential to assure that equivalent quality, price and other aspects of the item are maintained. Otherwise, price adjustments must be negotiated.

Coordination with building services and other AV items is required for all proposed and approved substitutions. The Prime Contractor shall obtain approval from the Contracting Officer and NAVFAC Electrical Engineer for any changes to the AV Package.

Post award AV manufacturer's price increases, beyond the pricing guarantee date, are the responsibility of the Prime Contractor and shall not be transferred to the Government.

3.5 Punch List

The Contractor and their AV Designer shall attend at least one punch list site visit with the installation dealer(s), NAVFAC Electrical Engineer and the Base Representative/Activity Contact. The site visit shall identify all punch list items (at installation dealer's 98 percent completion) and a follow up (at 100 percent completion) will confirm that all punch list items have been resolved(if required by the Contracting Officer's Representative.

3.6 Best Value Determination

A best value determination has been performed on the final AV package. A best value determination is required by FAR 8.404 when placing orders against Federal Supply Schedules for the selection of furniture and furnishings. Best Value is defined in FAR 2.101 as ensuring that the order to be placed under a Federal Supply Schedule results in the lowest overall cost alternative (considering price, special features, administrative costs and client's needs) to meet the government's needs.
