2. Design 1st Floor. Do the cases on the 1st floor include lighting like the ones on the 2nd floor as shown on page X20.106? If yes, please define the requirements and quantities – page X0.104 doesn’t show case lighting.

3. Design, 1st Floor page X1.200 has notes saying indirect LED up lighting is in DWH scope. Same for spotlight sconces. Please define DWH.

4. Design, 1st Floor pages X0.002 & X3.100. The notes for AV03 says the speaker is activated/coordinated with the trench area lighting program. Where can we find details on this lighting and programming requirements?

ANSWER: This display will feature flashes synced to audio of guns firing and shells landing. Equipment to create this is listed on sheet. Please refer to AME Design Package 1st Floor, page 3, X0.002.

5. Design, 1st Floor, page X6.100. Case C16.2 is very large to be an acrylic vitrine that gets lifted over display object/artifacts and is further complicated by its location in a corner of the wall which prevents access from opposing sides for lifting. Do you have an alternate solution for this case or want to include a lift to place the vitrine? If yes on the lift, please provide a spec.

ANSWER: It is not expected that this diorama will need to be moved but it has been re-detailed to use casters instead of levelers. Please refer to AME Design Package 1st Floor, page 50, X6.300; AME Design Package 1st Floor page 48, X6.206; and AME Design Package 2nd Floor page 258 for the detail.

6. Design, 2nd Floor, page X27.100. The mannequin/body form for MG Mayville in case C27.8 is not identified or called out in the design drawing, artifact list or prop/mannequin list. Please define any scope the exhibit fabricator has for this figure.

ANSWER: This figure should be called out as a Dorfman conservation form. This is labeled as C.1.
