FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 1-Question: Based on the review of the solicitation documents it appears that the number of points based on the number of building controllers does not appear correct. Is the point count correct? Answer: Estimated Quantity of Hardware Points in BAS: 960 2-Question: Without knowing the total point count it would be rather hard to determine the proposal cost because the majority of the work involves a point to point check out. That would be all the total of all hardware points on all controllers. Answer: In that case, we will count all our Inputs(A/B) and Outputs(A/B). 3-Question: Can you please tell me when this solicitation submission date is? Answer: 06/23/2017 4-Question: Based on the review of the solicitation documents it appears that the number of points based on the number of building controllers does not appear correct.

Answer: Please consider a total of: •BC: 9 (NAEs and NCEs) •ASC: 199 (VAVs, IOMs, FECs, VFDs) 5-Question:Is the travel reimbursable? Do the travel costs need to be included in the total price from the proposal?
