Note from the Contracting Officer:

The following work is viewed as construction and will not be part of this requirement:

1. New doors

2. Metal over the windows

3. Security bars (man bars) over the air conditioning ducts and other openings.

These items will be installed by Naval Facilities (NAVFAC).

Please quote each building separately as each building will have a separate line item funding it.

Information about building 20212:

We are hoping to have the doors installed prior to installation of the alarm system in this building. Please specify in your quote how long your pricing is valid for this building alone, and if you would be willing to wait to install the system in that building.

We will evaluate at the time of award whether we will issue the contract for building 20212 based on what we know about the schedule of installation from NAVFAC.

5) The glass doors in building 20212 will not support the installation of the LKM-7003 per the Manufacturer, Lockmasters Inc. Does the site intend to have the doors replaced or should we include a door contractor in our proposal?

12) The site requires man bars or crawl space bars to be installed to meet the hardening requirements in the HVAC duct work of Building 20279 Room 218. This should be done by a mechanical contractor which has coordinated the efforts with base facilities. Because the installation or modification of the ducting can affect the air flow, controls and or damage the HVAC system which is managed by facilities or an outside contractor, it is highly recommended that a mechanical contractor be allowed to look at the recommended changes.

A. This work will not be part of the alarm system installation and will be installed by NAVFAC.

13) In areas where the enclosures cannot be installed above the ceiling they will be installed on a wall within the secure space. Will they need to be installed on a plywood backboard?
