- Description
- 36C24624B0001 Update PA System Amendment 0003 Responses to Vendor Questions If you are looking to keep the current analog amplifiers and speakers in the facilities, but convert the system to IP, our Zone Controller would be the ideal device to bridge the gap between analog an IP. Would that be fine? Response: The SOW is to replace current head-end equipment to include amplifiers. VHA Salisbury is willing to accept design changes as long as it sustains or improves the system and the design stays within the project s SOW. For the buildings that don't have a paging system, are you looking for speaker-only devices, or would you be interested in considering our display/speaker combination devices? Response: Speaker only devices. Would your main goal be to switch all the buildings to one type of programmable software that would drive all paging & intercom functions? Do you need something that is cloud-based or controlled from each individual site? Response: One type of programable software. What existing Paging System does the VA have? We didn t see that info in the specs or drawings and need to be able to tie-into that system and didn t see the make/model so we can quote it. Response: Main equipment is to be replaced. This question is irrelevant. Only existing speakers to remain. Please confirm that all the RFI response Amendments from the previously issued Solicitation for this same scope of work all apply to this Solicitation, or that they are otherwise incorporated into the design plans and specifications. Response: All RFI responses from the previous solicitation have been incorporated into this solicitation s drawings, specifications, and SOW. Is an Electrician company assigned to this scope of work? Response: No, it is the General Contractor s responsibility to provide an electrical subcontractor. Who is responsible for the installation of Pathways? Response: The General Contractor and their Subcontractors. Can we schedule a site walk to determine the length of OS2 6 strand fiber will be needed for each building? Response: The solicitation drawings should give you a general idea of fiber length as they are drawn to scale. Additional walkthroughs will be after contract award. Is there a General Contractor? Response: The awardee will be the acting General Contractor. Is the secured space for storage on site. Response: Yes. During the pre-construction meeting, the facility s COR will show the Contractor where they can set up their laydown yard/conex. Are the existing speakers 70V or 24V? Response: Bldg. 8 has amplified speakers (24V). All other speakers are 70V. Who is doing the demo? Response: The General Contractor to whom this project is awarded. Will the Existing paging remain operational until new system is online? Response: Yes, the existing paging is considered life safety and needs to remain operational. If there is a need to shut down the system, a two-week notice needs to be approved and the shutdown will be after hours when the facility is least impacted.
