18. In the warehouse where the cameras will be installed in the middle of the building and there is ceiling grid existing, does the government want the camera mounted to the ceiling grid? There is no requirement or prohibition for mounting cameras to the ceiling grid. The cameras must be mounted and placed to ensure unobstructed view to the covered area and stable picture.

22. The cabling to the cameras on the north and west side of the warehouses will exceed the distance limits of a network connection (330’ Maximum). In order to resolve this issue we would need to place a network switch in the main warehouse to allow the west warehouse and tire warehouse cameras to connect. From there we would need a standard cat6 cable to the NVR or we could convert it to fiber for the least amount of data loss. The requirement is for sufficient cabling/wiring to ensure proper function and any require‐ ments for such should be included by the Contractor.

23. In the card access system will there be door status sensors provided? This would provide a way to monitor if the door is open or closed. No door status sensors.

24. Will there be any request to exit devices such as a push button, motion sensor, or crash bar contact? These are not needed due to the fact we are using door strikes; however some systems require them in order to prevent a forced door alarm. No exit devices.
