- Description
- Questions & Answers: 1. We do not seem to find the LED size; could you tell us where we can get this information? - The SOW document (page 3) calls for 12mm resolution (pixel pitch) display with 64x112 physical pixel matrix, which matches existing perimeter signs. This would yield a display area sized approximately 2'-7" x 4'-5" 2. I want to know how much amount of money is for this project? - This is not information that is disclosed for a competitive acquisition. Vendors are to propose a price for the subject solicitation pursuant to the scope of work and any attachments provided. 3. I checked with three different suppliers of electronic message centers none of which could supply the size indicated in the specs. Please advise me which manufacturer was used as a basis of design for the bid. - The intent is that the sign match as closely as possible the 64x112 pixel matrix of the existing perimeter displays. The shop drawings for that project indicate TruColor Model #818-4. The SOW allows for similar proportion and matrix, if it's not identical 4. Please clarify on the exact size of the double side LED screen height and length. - Please refer to question 1. 5. Please confirm that the pitch requested is a P12 DIP Full Color outdoor. - We have not specified DIP, but LED display must meet all stated requirements such as brightness, and adjustable brightness. As stated in SOW, display must be full color, 12mm is the pixel pitch. Display must have outdoor, weather-resistant, silicone sealed construction, with lockable vandal-resistant access for maintenance activities. 6. Please clarify on if there will be power at the location where the item is to be installed or if there Is electric work needed as far as running the power to the location. - The solicitation calls for the the LED message display AND installation to include running any electrical that may be required and any demo work, etc. 7. Per the question and response to question 3, a web search does not find a manufacturer by this name for an LED as specified. Please clarify. - A search indicated that the TruColor Model # 818-4 was provided by adsLED Incorporated which has apparently ceased operations. The necessary specifications are in the SOW. The government is not asking for an exact match to this previous model number, but rather something similar in size and proportion. 8. Depending on the manufacturer of the sign and the type of pixel array used to build it the sign could be 3x6 feet, 4x7 feet or as small as 2x4 feet. It would be helpful if you had a PHYSICAL measurement requirement for the LED signs. Can you provide a height and width in feet/inches for the LED signs? - Per question # 1, the physical measurement of the LED display area should be 2'-7" x 4'-5". The cabinet dimension would be somewhat larger. 9.. Is the fiber optic cable is necessary since it is an out-dated technology? - Yes.
