7- Are the interior BMS's on access controlled doors to be configured for access control only or be monitored at the RADC for intrusion detection as well?

Access control

8- In our experience in installation of maglock access control on Army installations we are aware of regulation NFPA 101 section 7 which states that a sensor shall be provided on the egress side, arranged to unlock the door upon detection of an approaching occupant. This means in addition to the request to exit button that is called for in the solicitation, there should also be a request to exit motion sensor or similar device. I have attached a copy of the regulation for your review. Please specify the direction to proceed.

Understand use with magnetic logs, looking to adjust PWS to remove selected magnetic locks. The decision will be made soon if a PWS change is necessary.

9- Please clarify the purpose of the new fire alarm relays, is the current fire alarm system in Bldg 951 MSF and Bldg 950 VEC operational and trouble free?

The following comment refers to the doors designated for magnetic locking hardware:

Understand use with magnetic logs, looking to adjust PWS to remove selected magnetic locks. The decision will be made soon if a PWS change is necessary.

The RFQ states only a push button for the magnetic lock. NFPA 101, adopted by the DOD, states that there needs to be a sensor or switch in the bar on the door to signal someone approaching the door. The button is only for an emergency override. Given that the request appears to be in conflict with the life safety code.
