- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial services prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6 and 13, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is PC-09-Q-015 and is issued as a Request for Quotation. The Peace Corps anticipates awarding a non-competitive sole source fixed-price purchase order for Auditorium audio cabling and AMX, multi-media switch programming Corbett Technology Solutions, Inc. The applicable NAICS code is 334310 and size standard is $14.0M. This is a 100% Small Business set aside. Numbered Note 1 applies. The provisions and clauses incorporated into this solicitation document are those in effect at the time of publication through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-35. FAR 52.212-1 is hereby incorporated by reference. Selected offerors must submit a complete copy of the provision at 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications – Commercial Items, with its offer. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing, via e-mail, to Mr. Jeffrey Bradley, Contract Specialist, Phone (202) 692-1622, jbradley@peacecorp.gov, by 12:00PM Eastern Standard Time (EST) on July 31, 2009. Interested organizations should submit a complete package by the due date, which provides clear and convincing evidence that they can meet the Government’s requirement and which describes the capability of their maintenance and repair services as it supports the requirement. The Government will not pay for information solicited. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. All responsible sources may submit their qualifications by the due date which may be considered by the agency. Submission of information for review by the Peace Corps shall not impede award of this purchase order. A determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Firms must be registered in Central Contractor Registration (CCR) (www.ccr.gov) prior to award of any contracts or agreements. The Peace Corps requires: This is the scope of work to upgrade the audio system in Shriver auditorium. 1. The conference room is broken down into three sections (Shriver A, B, C). Each room needs to be both independently wired for audio, as well as be tied into a single system (to be used when all three rooms are combined into one large room). 2. The audio will be tied into the current AMX system that was recently installed. This system is controlled by touch panels (one for each room), and will ultimately be able to give the end user the ability to independently run the audio from each room without the need for an audiovisual technician to be on hand. 3. In order to accomplish this, the system will need to be programmed to digitally control the incoming audio signal – additionally, the room will need to be completely rewired to accommodate the placement of microphones and speakers. General 1. All equipment shall be installed as to present no safety hazards to the public, to operating personnel, to equipment or to other trades. 2. All equipment must be adequately ventilated when operating under worst-case power dissipation. 3. Materials and equipment required for a complete system but not specified herein as to manufacturer or quality shall be of high commercial standard and quality. Software 1. All software programs and their associated hardware components must be fully installed, programmed and configured. 2. Before the system is deemed complete and ready for final acceptance all software and hardware issues must be rectified. 3. All software programming must be performed by manufacturer trained and authorized personnel. 4. All software programming shall meet manufacturer’s recommendations and best industry practices. Expect that the manufacturer may be requested to review their programming. At the discretion of the Systems Engineer, the Contractor may be directed to modify their program to the manufacturer’s directions. 5. Deliver two complete copies of the software (source code) for all processors and touch panels to the Client with the system manuals. Wiring and Cable Termination 1. Take all necessary precautions to prevent electromagnetic and electrostatic interference. Care should be taken during wiring and installation to prevent damage to wire or equipment. Use best industry practices to ensure long-term reliability. 2. All terminations of shielded twisted pair cables, regardless of location, shall consist of a Teflon, PVC or neoprene sleeve covering the shield drain wire and an overall heat shrink or elastic neoprene sleeve covering the point at which the cable jacket and shield end. (This makes it very difficult to inadvertently ground a shield and is an important aspect of audio system wiring.) At the termination the unshielded leads shall be less than 50 mm in length but not so short as to present undue stress of the soldered joint. 3. All wiring entering the racks shall have a service loop (slack), allowing future rewiring. This slack wire shall be neatly harnessed into place. 4. All cable and cable bundles shall be neatly and logically routed and organized. Bundles of varying signal level shall be spaced at least 10 cm apart and secured to dedicated tie bars. Wiring in racks shall not be left unsupported. 5. Do not attach cables to the fire-sprinkler system, electrical distribution of any system or any ancillary equipment or hardware. The cable system and support hardware shall be installed so that operation of any valves, fire panels, access doors, or control devices are not impeded. 6. Install all cables in continuous lengths from origin to destination. Splices are unacceptable. 7. Audio and control terminations shall be made with rosin-core solder or an approved mechanical connector. Crimp only with manufacturer's recommended crimping tool having a controlled crimp cycle. 8. Mechanically connected XLR and phone plugs will not be allowed. 9. RF terminations shall be made with crimp connectors only (no screw-on connectors) 10. As some audio signal cables may share a conduit with control cables (e.g. Paging Mics), take appropriate precautions to prevent pops and clicks in the system. Control circuits that require a reference shall not share audio shields as their reference. Audio Interconnection 1. All microphone and line level wiring outside of racks shall be balanced and floating, unless otherwise indicated or required by the source or destination devices. 2. All microphone and line level wiring to be balanced, except where specified equipment has unbalanced terminations. 3. Unless otherwise noted, all microphone and line level connections to be via XLR connectors, except as required by source or destination devices Video Interconnection 1. All BNC type video connectors shall be of high quality with a crimp style strain relief. 2. All other “line level” type video connectors shall be of high quality with the opposing mating surfaces composed of similar metal types. 3. Ensure that all Video transmission paths are properly terminated with the appropriate device. Control and Data Interconnection 1. All data and control connectors shall be of high performance and quality. 2. All opposing mating surfaces shall be of similar metals. 3. All connections shall maintain telecommunication industry defined impedances for that particular circuit type and connection. 4. Ensure that all Data and Digital transmission paths are properly terminated with the appropriate device.
