RESPONSE: Use of the CD is the minimum requirement. 4. QUESTION: Given the limitations of storage on a CD vs. the Hard drive, it appears as if portions of the recorded data will be selected for CD burning. Is there a requirement to record additional data on the hard drive and CD, such as tiime-date stamps , configuration settings, etc. that will facilitate the selection and also provide supplementarly information? RESPONSE: The type of hard drive recording and marking should be identified for information selection and transfer to the CD. Specific type of marking required has not been specified due to the various types available (i.e., date/time stamp / event numbe r). The operator must be able to retrieve selected items from the hard drive and transfer them to a CD for future use and reference.

Or, is the DOG a generic term that you are using to describe the functionality you are looking for vendors to supply? RESPONSE: DOG is a generic term. 6. QUESTION: The purchase of 54 systems is pending the satisfactory completion of the first system. Consequently, it isnt clear how this should be priced since there is only one Unit Cost to be inserted for the first 55 systems. A price discount will b e given for the purchase of 55 but not for 1 system. RESPONSE: 55 is our estimate for each period; however, we may actually purchase more or less than 55 depending on our requirements. SubCLINs may be added to provide discounts, i.e., 1 @ $______Each; 2-10 @ $______Each; 10-20 @ $______Each; and so on.

If 1 unit is used, can the requirement to provide two 100 foot power cables be changed to 1? RESPONSE. Yes, but there is no requirement to provide 2 power cables, the (2) is a bullet comment marker for paragraph 2b(2). 9. QUESTION: For the 100 foot minimum distance for the flood light requirement, what is the angle of coverage? RESPONSE: The coverage should at least match the capabilities of the camera. If the cameras widest angle has a 15 degree, then 15 degrees is the minimum. 10. QUESTION: Would you clarify the meaning of the 1500 feet in 4b? Is the Pan/Tilt motor operated from battery power? RESPONSE: Each pan/tilt unit must draw its power and controlling signals from CAT5 cable length from the Monitor Control Center to the camera or camera with pan/tilt unit is 1500 feet using CAT5 cable.
