Radiation Tolerant Camera System

Amendment 0003: The purpose of this amendment is to answer questions. All other terms remain unchanged:

Question 1: Do you have drawings of the room, showing dimensions, current camera locations, and how the cables are routed?
Answer 1: NIST does not have such a drawing.

Question 2: Do the cables have to be routed through any existing cable trays/conduit?
Answer 2: Cables do need to be routed along an existing cable tray.

Question 3: Are there existing penetrations for the cables to be routed through to the control room?
Answer 3: There are existing penetrations for cables on both the experiment end and the control room end.

Question 4: Are there existing connectors that have to be used or can we replace the current connectors?
Answer 4: There are no existing connectors - everything needed to run the new system should be provided by the supplier.

Question 5: If we can replace, size can the connectors be?
Answer 5: There are no particular size constraints. The entire route for the cables is greater than 4" by 4" and most (maybe all) of it is simply open on top.

Question 6: Length of cables?
Answer 6: The distance between the cameras and the control room is 35 m to 40 m

Question 7: How will the cameras be mounted?
Answer 7: Cameras will be bolted or otherwise connected to an existing frame/scaffolding on the wall

Question 8: Are there existing mounts that the cameras will have to attach to?
Answer 8: There are not specific mounts, but the room has an existing frame/scaffolding on the wall that the cameras will need to be mounted to

Question 9: Does the room have ambient lighting?
Answer 9: Yes, although it is typically turned off when unoccupied (i.e. while the source is in use)

Question 10: Expected temperature range?
Answer 10: Normal room temperature (~25 C)

Question 11: Would 30x optical zoom acceptable?
Answer 11: yes

Question 12: Are there any protocol requirements for the remote viewing and control of the cameras, i.e. via Ethernet, or Pelco, etc.?
Answer 12: NIST does not think so and just need to be able to view and control the cameras from the control room and also from a remote computer (in an office, for example)

Question 13: Do you have drawings of the control room, showing dimensions and where the control station components are to be installed or located?
Answer 13: No, but space is not an issue. Table-top/desk space, wall space, and floor space are all available

Question 14: Are there existing enclosures/console that the camera control units need to be installed in? If no, what is the available space for the control station?
Answer 14: No. No particular space constraints - multiple locations are available in the control room with a minimum space of 4' wide, 2' deep, unconstrained height.

Question 15: Are there any special training and/or access requirements for our personnel to go onsite and install the camera system? If yes, what is the estimated number of days to complete any site-specific training, etc.?
Answer 15: There is no special training required for access to the building or room for installation purposes, other than general NIST access and escort by myself or colleagues. I assume you can advise on any general NIST access requirements.
