Description

The purpose of this amendment (# 2) is to post the questions and answers that have asked by various contractors so far. All contractors are encouraged to be present at the site visit mentioned in amendment # 1 as more questions will be asked and answered at said site visit. Q: What size is the room? The room is 38'x31'. Q: Any VTC in the room? There is no teleconferencing.. Q: Do you have any other information regarding the 10.4" color touch panel control system requirements? (i.e.wired vs. wireless, rack mount or table top, preview video and computer etc). Q: Is the lectern to be provided by the Contractor, or does one exist? Yes, per previous requirements Q: Will the lectern have a permanent location, and is there an appropriate cable path in place for the control touch panel, KVM interface, and potential laptop computer interface? (This could also affect the next question regarding the number of sources - if the lectern will have multiple locations, and the need for a computer interface, an 8x4 matrix would not have enough inputs.) Yes it will stay in one place, even though it won't be bolted to the floor. It will, though, be restricted by the wires bound together in either a cable or running through a conduit, which will likely be attached to the wall. Q: Assuming the need for a laptop input at the lectern, and that the lectern will have a permanent location, this would fully load the input side of the Matrix Switcher (6 permanent computers + 1 Combination VHS/DVD/CATV Tuner + 1 Aux Computer input). This would not allow for any future expansion without replacing the Matrix Switcher. Am I making correct assumptions? If not, please clarify the number of computers that will be used initially, and the number of "future" computers. We want eight inputs. Q: Similarly, what type of computers will need to be housed in the equipment rack? Also, will there be a dedicated monitor with each? This will help to determine the amount of space required to be allocated to the OFE computers within the equipment rack. We are currently planning on 2 classified and 2 unclassified computers feeding the matrix, so I guess that's what will be housed in the rack. Since classified and unclassified computers have to be at least 1 meter apart, this will probably drive some design issue. I don't know what "OFE" means. Q: Does the combination VCR/DVD/CATV tuner need to be scaled to the native resolution of the projectors? I assume that it does, as otherwise the 8x4 RGBHV Matrix Switcher would not be appropriate – it would need to be an 8x8 Matrix to accommodate the specified functionality. If you mean, do I want the projectors to show the VCR/DVD/CATV output, the answer is "yes." If you mean something, please translate into terms us mere mortals can comprehend. By the way, we don't want some weirdly distorted TV picture to meet the native resolution of the projectors. Q:Do you require GSA pricing, or is this to be Open Market pricing? Open market pricing is requested, however companies may submit GSA pricing. Q: Do you want to be able to control the system from the lectern and the corner office simultaneously? No Q: What is the distance from the floor to the T-bar and what is the distance from T-bar to the structure? What is a T-bar? I have called several folks on base, none of which know either. Q: What is the structure made of? Dry wall, metal studs, cinder block, drop ceiling and metal roof. Q: Do you want 3000 to 3500 ansi lumens or 4000 ansi lumens. ansi lumens and brightness are the same thing. Can you elaborate? 4000, as lights will be on while briefing Q: Will you require us to provide you a DVD, VHS, Computer, and the two wall mounted speakers? Contractor supplies DVD, VHS, tv tuner, speaker system Q: Can you clarify the 2 user x 8 port kvm with the cat5 remote user receiver. Does this mean that you would like 1 or both of the computers potentially being displayed to be remotely controllable? yes Q: Do you want us to do the entire installation? Absolutely yes, to include training. Q: What is the voltage rating of the AV systems? 110V Q: What is the continuous current rating of the AV systems? Depends on the equipment that is installed Q: What is the connection method (i.e. hard-wire, barrier strip, special connector)? Common 110 plugs Q: What is quantity required? Be more specific Q: Could you make available some pictures and/or a drawing or sketch of the room? Yes, what is you fax #? Q: Is the room currently rated for classified meetings? Yes Q: Is there existing Black (secure filtered) power available? No Q: Are there multiple rooms or just one room where the equipment is to be installed? Just one Q: It is unclear and seems like there are descriptions about two kinds of video wall displays with 2 different resolution requirements 3000-3500 and 4000 lumens. Can you shed some light on this please? 3 screens, all with same 4000 lumens This is a combined synopsis and solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice.
