Response: No. The scope includes abandoned low-voltage cabling throughout Building 3400.

Systems may include telecommunications, data, security, access control, video surveillance, intercom, alarm, and other low-voltage systems. The contractor is responsible for identifying active versus inactive cabling.

2. How many floors of Building 3400 are included in this scope?

W9124D26QA2660001

8. Can we receive Building 3400 drawings and ceiling access maps?

Building floor plans will be provided. Telecommunications drawings, ceiling access Response:

maps, riser diagrams, and as-built documentation are not available.

Response: Representative photographs are not currently available for release. A site visit has been scheduled to allow vendors the opportunity to view the site.

11. Is removal required throughout the entire 280,000 SF building or only specific areas?

Response: The scope includes abandoned low-voltage cabling throughout Building 3400, approximately 280,000 square feet.

12. Are contractors only responsible for cabling accessible by ladder/ceiling access, or does this include conduit, walls, or concealed pathways?

Response: Scope is limited to ladder-accessible abandoned low-voltage cabling. Removal of conduit is not required unless specifically identified and approved by the KO and COR. Wall demolition and concealed pathway demolition is not required.

13. How many are dual drops going to a single gang box?

Response: Ceiling heights vary throughout the facility. Contractors should anticipate varying elevations typical of a commercial office building.

16. What process is required to follow to distinguish new vs. old wires? Are all the old wires Cat 5 vs Cat 6?

Response: Contractors shall use industry-standard cable tracing and identification methods to distinguish active from inactive cabling. The Government cannot confirm cable categories.

17. In certain cases, the old wires are wrapped or tied together with new wires within ceilings, who is responsible for any subsequent damage? It may be easier to remove all cables and run new ones.

Response: The contractor is responsible for exercising due care and following industry best practices to prevent damage to active systems. Any damage resulting from contractor operations remains the contractor's responsibility.

Response: Unknown. The Government has not conducted a cable inventory identifying active vs inactive cabling.

21. What is the average distance/length of the cables from their corresponding IDF/MDF room to their end location?

22. If the abandoned cable is terminated on a patch panel in an IDF/MDF room or to a wall jack; does the scope of work include removal of terminations back to source or just removal of the cable from ceilings?

Response: Where practical, abandoned cable should be removed back to the source or termination point without impacting active systems. Final disposition shall be coordinated with the

COR.

23. If a site visit is not allowed, is there a site map that can be used to determine: (a) Total number of cable locations? (b) Total number of cable closets?
