E -- DESIGN & INSTALL A AUDIO-VISUAL MANAGEMENT SOL CFOPD-98-I-001 DUE 121597 POC L. A. Nadybal, Procurement Analyst, OFCO Proc & Contr. Div., Tel. 202-7270380 FAX 202-7279599 WEB: General OCFO Web Site (no solicitations posted yet), http://www.dccfo.com. E-MAIL: Click here to contact the contracting office by Email, leonard_nadybal_at_~cfo-ojs@ccmail.dcgov.org. The Office of Tax and Revenue (OTR) under the Chief Financial Officer of the District of Columbia has embarked on a project to build a conference facility within existing office space. The facility is to consist of a large, fully equipped audio-visual meeting room where major management issues can be presented, reviewed and evaluated. A smaller adjunct facility to supplement the larger one is to also be installed. It will provide similar but somewhat fewer utilities as are to be found in the main room, and also become a location where training classes can be held. The rooms are to be equipped with automated, ergonomically designed seating and lighting, whiteboards, cork walls, projectors and screens, computers, cameras, etc. The ADP equipment to be used in building the facility (to complement any government owned equipment found to be on hand and usable) is to be compatible with existing LANs used within the city administration (generally Ethernet running Windows, Novell & Ventana products). The District solicits expressions of interest by qualified firms that can demonstrate they are capable of and have experience in installations of the kind described. The end result of the solicitation the District plans to issue, is to award a contract to a firm for the purpose of designing the facility in conjunction with the DCCFO's Project Manager, specifying the equipment and sources of the equipment that is to be installed in it and construction of the facility on a turn-key basis. Because the government is in the stage where funding is to be allocated to the project, interested firms are asked to submit documentation showing a sampling of previously completed projects which equate roughly to the description provided above, quoting costs. The elements of the total cost should be divided to show (a) cost incurred in the design of each, (b) and the cost of the construction/renovation of the rooms involved and (c) the cost of the equipment installed. These price quotes will not be used to narrow the number of firms on the vendor list that will be developed form the replies received. Every firm expressing interest which provides a sampling of their work and the cost breakdowns as reuqetsed will receive a copy of the solicitation when it is issued. No scheduled issue date for the solicitation has yet been established. Documentation should be sent by mail or commercial courier service to: OCFO of the District of Columbia ATTN: MSC Procurement, Suite 410 South 441 4th St. NW Washington DC 20001 In the interest of time and efficiency, no questions or telephone calls will be entertained at this time. The deadline date for the receipt of materials at the above address is 5 PM, December 15, 1997. (0339)
