The contractor shall bear in mind that this work will be taking place in an active dining facility, all work areas are to be kept neat and tidy, and all areas must remain food-safe at all times. IE: any drilling or dust causing work shall be completed with a vacuum to collect dust.

The A/V system will consist of the following major components:

AUDIO SYSTEM shall provide complete Left, Right and Sub coverage of the dining hall. The audio system will be capable of playing back all sources which include VGA and HDMI computer inputs, CATV and Blu-ray player. The audio will be controlled via a rack/podium mounted touch panel. All speaker and microphone wiring shall be concealed in wall mounted panduit which must be painted to match the existing block wall. HDMI and VGA computer inputs shall be located as shown on the attached drawings. Video content routed to the display system will be derived from a choice of possibilities, including computer generated media from the computer input location, a Blu-ray player, a CATV feed. In addition a high resolution camera facing the stage with a full view of the stage and capable of a zoomed in view of a presenter at the podium. Two of the outputs will be sent to distribution systems which will also carry control code.

CONTROL SYSTEM shall be configured such that the touch screen provides simple and intuitive controls. The touch screen will either be rack or podium mounted. The Control Panel layouts will be designed by the A/V contractor and reviewed by the USMMA for input and modification as required prior to the installation. Every aspect of operation of the system is intended to be controllable via the touch screen. Including but not limited to camera controls, audio control, power controls and video switching. All programming and all source code shall be delivered on computer media to the USMMA upon completion of the final acceptance testing and calibration.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM shall contain a fully isolated ground. It will consist of a minimum of four 20amp circuits on individual breakers to be pulled from a circuit panel behind the stage. All wiring shall be home runs to the panel with no other external sources being powered by the circuit other than the A/V equipment. All circuits should sit on the same phase of electricity.

The electrical system will include an IG duplex outlet for every Television location as well as one for the equipment rack. The duplex outlets and wiring shall be rated for a 20 amp 110vac load. All panduit and conduit shall be mounted plumb and level and be painted to match the existing block wall as best as possible.

ADA ASSISTIVE LISTENING SYSTEM will consist of one stationary RF transmitter with a range of up to 1000’. The RF transmitter will be located in the equipment rack and its antenna will be mounted at the top rear of the equipment rack. The system will also include a minimum of thirty two DSP RF receivers capable of receiving the signal from the RF transmitter. The receivers will include a rechargeable battery along with enough docking stations to charge all of the receivers. The system will include a minimum of thirty two headphones and eight earphone/neck loop lanyards.

EQUIPMENT RACK will consist of a free standing 40 space rack with side panels and locking front and rear doors. The rack will be equipped with all necessary blanks, vents, shelves , power outlets and a power conditioner.

See attached detailed equipment list. All equipment may be substituted with approved equivalent.

Because drawings are, in general, diagrammatic, the Contractor shall coordinate all installations with the USMMA, based on the actual field conditions.

The Audiovisual Contractor shall furnish all software necessary to operate software controlled audiovisual sub-systems e.g. remote control system. This software shall, in every case, be provided by the manufacturer(s) of the subsystem, and shall be installed and tested prior to delivery of equipment at site. All un-compiled Source code for DSP and Control system will be turned over as part of the closeout package. All code will become the property of the USMMA.

The Contractor shall generate shop drawings and information for the complete installation and wiring of the system. A final, approved copy shall be placed in a metal pocket mounted on the inside of the rear (or front) door of a designated rack.

The contractor shall provide a System Operation and Maintenance Manual. This manual shall be produced by the Contractor specially for the systems installed under this contract. The “Operation” section shall describe all typical procedures necessary to activate each system to provide for the functional requirements as listed under the Detailed Specifications. The “Maintenance” section shall provide a recommended maintenance schedule with reference to the applicable pages in the manufacturer’s maintenance manuals. Where inadequate information is provided by the manufacturer, the Contractor shall provide the information necessary for proper maintenance.

The Contractor shall provide on-the-job training by a suitably qualified instructor, to personnel designated by the USMMA, to instruct them in the operation and maintenance of the systems.

All training shall take place after the systems are operational, but before the acceptance tests.
