VINDICATOR IDS B2071 – Q&A

1. Are Scaled Drawings available, if so please post.

A. No

2. Are Ceilings Suspended? Or Hard Lid? 2) A. Drop ceilings

3. Are there existing Cable Trays for wiring above ceilings?

A. There are cable trays in some places throughout.

4. Can Existing Wiring be utilized?

A. There is no IDS in place at this time. The only ACS is to the gates outside the facility, and I believe that conduit could be re-utilized from the facility to the gates.

5. Is a “UPS” required? If so, What Time/Power Duration is required?

A. UPS is required for up to 8 hours. Dependent on the circuit the backup generator is powering this time may be reduced for the time period the ATS takes to start the generator and start the supply of power.

6. Are “Or Equal” Equipment substitutions allowed?

A. Equipment “equal to” may be proposed but has to be integrable with the Vindicator system.

7. Is “Plenum Wire” acceptable?

A. Yes.

8. Is “After Hours Access” for said work, available to contractor at no add ’l cost to the Gov’t?

A. Yes with proper scheduling.

9. What is the height of Exterior Cameras? (If any) A. Approximately 12 feet and 10 feet.

11. Please provide a list of equipment to be installed.

A. Please refer to Attachment 1 – Material List in the solicitation.

12. Is there an incumbent vendor who has been servicing the existing system?

A. Unknown.

13. Is there any requirement for the readers to be FICAM-compliant?

A. They will need to meet ICD 705 TS compliance and I believe that does now recommend FICAM compliance.

15. Are there any requirements for the system to be cyber-secure?

A. It will need meet the ICD 705 TS Is there existing conduit,if so can it be used for the new wire runs?

A. See #5 otherwise there is no conduit in place.

16. If new conduit is needed please show on the drawings with approx footage.

A. Waiting for CE response.

17. Are there pipe chase connection between the floors.

A. Waiting for CE response.

18. The SOW calls for Vindicator V5 panels, however Vindicator has confirmed that V5 panels are no longer available. Can the Government confirm that Vindicator V3/1500 panels are approved to quote?

This response is directly from Honeywell.

“The V5 is an approved panel and a V3 is not. We are using the V5 in place of our upcoming V6. The V6 is the same form factor and fit as the V5. The V3 does not have the same capacity as the V5. A V3 can only support 14 inputs, while a V5/V6 can support 48 inputs. By the time the order has been receive, the V6 will be available for delivery on this project.

All proposals should read either V5, V6, or V5/V6. Please do not replace with a V3/1500”.
