QUESTION
ANSWER
| 1. | Drawings: Please provide the drawings referenced in SOW Items 12 and 13, including floor plans, cable routes, workstation/drop locations, telecom-room locations and pathway routing. |
| We cannot provide electronic copies of drawings. | |
| 2. | Actual work location: Please confirm the exact building number and work address. The SAM notice identifies the procurement with China Lake, while the solicitation's inspection/delivery information identifies Point Mugu/NBVC. |
| B65, Point Mugu CA 93042 | |
| 3. | Cable lengths/routes: Please provide route distances for the 24F OS2 backbone, the 106 horizontal 8F OM3 runs, both inter-cabinet 12F cables, and the 100-pair telephone tie cable. |

(1) 12F OS2: 100 FT
(1) 100-pair: 1,000 FT
| 4. | Workstation fiber configuration: Please confirm the intended fiber count at each workstation. The SOW specifies an 8F green and 8F red cable at the drops, but the specified 212 duplex LC adapters across 106 MOS boxes appear to accommodate only four fibers per box. |
| The SOW is written correctly. 8F green and 8F red terminated at each workstation. 53 locations. Review the materials list carefully. | |
| 5. | Corning adapter panels: Please provide exact part numbers, LC UPC/APC configuration, OS2/OM3 requirements, red/green quantities and cabinet allocation for the 80 shuttered 12F panels. |
| 1. | Can cassettes be used instead of adapter plates? | |
| 2. | Are the connectors LC UPC for OS2 and LC APC for OM3? | |
| (44) CCH-CP12-AF | |
(36) CCH-CP12-DC
1) Corning Cassettes can be used instead of Corning adapter plates as long as they’re colored the same as the requested configuration.
2) LC UPC for both OS2 and OM3
| 6. | Fiber termination method: Please confirm whether the backbone and horizontal fiber is to be factory terminated, fusion-spliced to pigtails/cassettes, or terminated using field-installable connectors. |
| All listed methods are technically acceptable. | |
| 7. | Chatsworth custom cabinets: Please provide the configuration/drawing for TSZEC1056524, including dimensions, bay configuration, process-power components, cable management and accessories. |
| We cannot provide electronic copies of drawings. | |
TSZ1056524 cabinet with PDUs E0-1002-C and APC UPS with battery pack: SMX3KR2UNCX145 & SMX120RMBP2U. Rails and cable management need to be installed and adjusted to the correct locations. PDUs and UPS hardware shall be installed per design, furnished after award. Cabinet shall be installed per manufacturer specifications for load and grounded per manufacturer specifications and guidelines contained in the SOW. Contractor to provide any necessary materials in order to accomplish final fit and fabrication of cabinet materials.
| 8. | Life-safety box: Please confirm whether “GFCI” in Item 2 means Government Furnished/Contractor Installed. If contractor-furnished, please provide manufacturer/model and installation requirements. |
| Government Furnished/Contractor Installed | |
| 9. | Electrical work: Please provide the approximate distance and source circuit for extending the existing 120V power. |
| 50 FT | |
| 10. | Eaton basket tray: Please provide tray size, route, footage, elevation, fittings/supports and penetrations—or confirm whether existing tray is intended to be used. The SOW establishes Eaton as the required tray manufacturer but doesn't give us enough quantity information. |
| No more than 30 FT of 12”, suspended from ceiling above cabinets. | |
| 11. | Fire sleeves: Please identify the anticipated quantity, locations and wall construction for the required 2-inch fire sleeves/penetrations. The SOW currently says only “as needed.” |
| 10-20 fire sleeves, combination of CMU and gypsum wallboard, throughout project | |

| Approximate ground location within 300 FT of new cabinets. | |
| 13. | Site visit: Will an escorted pre-quote site visit be available before the September 2 question deadline? If not, can the Government provide site photographs and marked-up floor plans? |
| We cannot provide electronic copies of drawings and, in this case, site photographs | |
| 14. | Schedule: Does September 30 require installation, testing, closeout and Government acceptance to be complete? Also, will schedule relief be available if the custom Chatsworth cabinets cannot be delivered within the stated period? The solicitation currently shows September 9–30 for both CLINs. |
| Yes. | |
| 15. | Testing: Please identify the required fiber testing, and the acceptance test required for the 100-pair copper cable. |
