QUESTIONS FROM SITE VISIT

Are the systems in each building to be integrated together with one monitoring location or is each system to operate individually?

Can the Government provide a list of the required certifications for the installation and maintenance of the VSS?

Can the Government confirm that the equipment listed under “Building 8650 & 8353” is a total count of equipment between the two buildings or does each building require the equipment listed?

Can the Government confirm that the equipment listed under “Building 8364 & 8365” is a total count of equipment between the two buildings or does each building require the equipment listed?

Will the monitors in each building need to be wall mounted or will they sit atop a desk?

Are there existing pathways between each building? If so, are these pathways conduit and are they in usable/serviceable condition? Also, if there are pathways, are the pathways underground?

What type of communications cabling is used to interconnect the buildings? If fiber, what type and is there any available unused fiber that can be used? If category cable, what type? Approximately, how long are the communication cable?

Does each building have a communications closet?

Are there existing racks in the communications rooms or onsite for each building?

What is the approximate mounting height for the cameras? Will a lift be needed to access the cameras?

Can we get a Resolution and Frame Rate requirement for this project?

What is the required storage in days for this project?

Is continuous recording required for this project?

Are drawings/floor plans for each building with camera locations available to accurately calculate wire distance and pathways?

Is the network infrastructure between buildings for the VSS already in place? If not, will the installation (Ft. Novosel) be responsible for providing connectivity between buildings?

Clarify if intention of project is to connect all buildings into a local isolated CCTV network with all camera locations installed to be viewable at Bldg 8350 "BOSS BLDG". Or if intention of project, or at least as an initial phase of project, is to have all buildings recording and viewable only from building's new NVR to be installed within that building. If intent is for all buildings to connect at this time into interconnected CCTV network, is fiber optic infrastructure between building to be installed by contractor or by Base Novosel.

Confirm or provide drawings indicating if attic space above 2nd floor of all buildings is readily accessible and permitted to have low-voltage cabling installed within.

Confirm if there are any restrictions/reservations to performing additional penetrations throughout the buildings.

Clarify requested UPS power retention time for NVRs/Cameras upon site power failure (ie, 15,20,30 minutes)

Confirm if the camera and NVR makes/models listed in the SOW are simply recommendations and the project is not restricted to these makes/models.

Confirm required video retention on NVRs is requested to be no less than 90 days for all camera views recorded.

Clarify minimum video resolution/frame rate requested for all cameras locations.

Clarify if project is to require contractor performing demobilization of existing CCTV cameras/equipment.

The SOW material list will likely not achieve desired coverage, will the government provide a map with associated coverage requirements to aid in recommended camera placement?

SOW appears to support each NVR/server being isolated with no intended centralized monitoring. If centralized monitoring is required, please provide location of video wall, if monitor(s) is needed, and if network infrastructure is in place to support. If not , please provide scope guidance on desired infrastructure resolution?

NVR storage sizing is dependent upon total camera count, frame rate, resolution, recording duration and characteristics and motion frequency. Can you please provide required retention requirements and recording parameters?

Is the government anticipating a EFI&T change to this scope given the complexity of the requirement and the current shortfall of the scope to address?

Please confirm no cable path will require entrance into soldier individual barracks room.

Please confirm the only conduit required for cable path will be exterior runs where required.

Please identify all areas that are to be excluded from camera view in SERE.

Can the government supply an overview of the barracks complex showing actual building numbers on each?

The SOW states “The monitoring portion of the system will be set up in Building 8350.” Can the government confirm there is network connectivity between all buildings included in this project so monitoring can be set up in building 8350?

Can the government supply floorplans for a typical building in this facility with camera mounting locations?

Can the government supply floorplans for the facilities with recording equipment, monitor and network switch locations?

Can the government confirm that cabling and infrastructure can be run utilizing attic spaces above units when required?

What is the minimum required retention time for the camera recordings? Are there specific regulations or standards that need to be adhered to for recording retention?

What is the minimum required uptime for the UPS backup battery?

Are there access doors or hatches available to the attics of all buildings? If not, will the contractor be responsible for creating access points?

Is the existing infrastructure (network cables, enclosures, etc.) in Buildings 8362, 8363, 8364, 8365, and 8360 expected to be replaced or can it be reused? If reuse is allowed, is there an assessment of its current condition

Is the contractor required to install new 120V power outlets inside all new network enclosures?

The Statement of Work does not list any equipment for Building 8350. Is the contractor expected to provide and install new infrastructure such as network cabling, a >42” wall-mounted TV monitor, and a workstation?

What is the manufacturer and model of the existing surveillance system installed in Building 8350? Is the contractor expected to integrate with this existing system or replace it entirely?

Are there any specific permits or approvals that the contractor needs to obtain before starting the installation? If so, who is responsible for obtaining them?

If there are any existing surveillance systems or security infrastructure, will the new system need to integrate with them? Are there any specific integration requirements or protocols to be followed?

What are the network requirements for the new VSS? Are there any specific bandwidth or latency requirements that need to be considered?

Will the contractor be responsible for providing training and documentation for the new system? If so, what level of training is required, and who will be the recipients?

The Gov’t states that in Vol II (Technical) that the offeror will provide a 2-page summary of the contractors proposed technical approach. Further, our technical volume shall not exceed 40 pages. Please remove the summary requirement since its redundant to the 40-page technical writeup?

The Government is not removing the summary page requirement.
