Bid Questions:

Date Entity Question/Answer
  Site Walk Questions

Site Walk Questions:

 

Lowell:

  • Do we mount the cameras on the roof?
    • No, these will about normal height.
  • How high do we mount these exterior cameras?
    • About 10 ft from the ground roughly, doesn’t have to be exactly 10 ft, but close there abouts.
  • In the Gym, do we mount the cameras to the ceiling grid?
    • Yes, that is fine for this specific location.
  • In the gym, can we mount the WAP to the grid?
    • Yes, that is fine for this location.
  • In the Gym, specifically the north camera, should we move this since there is the cage going to be installed in here?
    • Let’s go ahead and leave this camera in this location for now. Once it is installed then we can make that determination, if anything the camera would move towards the Network Closet so would be a shorter cable run, so there should be no extra cost. 
  • In the Lowell Modular, can we cut in an access hatch?
    • The short answer is yes, however there is a vent on the exterior of the building that should be utilized before looking at cutting in a hatch.
  • If we are not able to cut in access hatch, can we use wire mold?
    • No, however you can use Surface Mount Conduit
  • BBHS:
  • Do we replace Ceiling Tiles?
    • Yes, however they must be Fire Rated Ceiling Tiles something like the Fire Guard 915 that has been used in most of our buildings. 
  • Camera placement that is on the map, is that accurate?
    • They are pretty accurate on the map. 012 is center of the room due to it being a 360 camera. They won’t necessarily match the existing camera deployment already in the building.
  • Are there ports available?
    • That is the purpose of the site walk for venders to determine if there are ports available, vendors are to provide patch panels if there is not enough available.
  • Who provides the Switching Hardware?
    • SCSD1 Will provide the switching hardware.
  • Exterior Camera BBHS-016, can we move it to the existing camera location?
    • Yes, that is easier for everyone to move it to the existing location.
  • Do we have to paint the conduit?
    • Yes to match existing conduit within the building.
  • Gym Floors with a scissor lift, do we need plywood?
    • Yes
  • BBHS-001 Camera, is this wall mount?
    • Yes
  • Studs within the building are the wood or metal?
    • The studs within our buildings are metal.
  • BBHS-008 can we use existing?
    • Yes
  • BBHS-006 what does this mount look like?
  • Camera BBHS 007 is this a hard lid mount?
    • Yes
  • BBHS - WAP, just replace exiting?
    • Yes, they should already be center of room and in every room so we are literally just swapping hardware.
  • BBHS – do we demo existing cable for WAP and Cameras?
    • We can re-use the existing cable, only if the cable passes certification, meaning you will have to test this cable before using. Also, this cable must still maintain the 3ft service loop.  Along with that, you are not able to splice or add an extension to the cable to make it reach the new location(s).  Should any of these conditions not be able to be met, will require new cable to be ran.
  • Who terminates the cameras and access points?
    • This is called for in the specifications, however the service provider will be installing the cameras and APs.
  • What buildings are CAT6a?
    • This is specified on Page 4 of the bid documents.

ESE

  • What category is this building?
    • CAT6
  • Do we demo existing cable
    • No, this would be in addition to existing
    • Service provider is to remove existing WAP’s though.
    • Existing cabling would be abandoned above ceiling for any potential future use.
  • Can we re-use patch panel?
    • No, these are not modular so we are not able to reuse these patch panels.
  • Is the kitchen hard lid?
    • Yes
  • All Access Points will need to be in the center of the room for this project.
  • Service Providers are not able to splice or use “extensions” on existing cable, if it is too short, new cable must be ran.
  • All WAP are in the corner of the room, is this normal?
    • This is the traditional location for WAP’s however moving forward they will be in the center of the room.
  • Gym, can we use the existing location?
    • Yes, the current location is fine.
  • In the Gym Storage, is that hard lid?
    • Yes it is, there are access hatches though.
  • The Hallways to the classrooms, is that a firewall?
    • There should be penetrations there already if it is.
  • This building just had it’s cameras replaced right?
    • Yes both interior and exterior.

PBE

  • Do we need to run cable to the cameras in this building?
    • Yes, this building is going to be all new cable I am thinking. The existing camera cabling is Analog BNC Co-Ax cable so all cameras will need new cable at the very least.
  • Cafeteria camera will need to mount to pendant.
    • From ceiling 1.5” NPT pipe come down below the obstructions and the camera will hang via pendant mount.
  • WAP’s do we run one cable or two?
    • I will have to get back to you on this one.
    • We will only require one cable to be ran to the WAP’s.
  • Library camera, drop down pendant again?
    • Yes, just like cafeteria

Sage

  • Library WAPs are there any?
    • There should be, will have to make a change on that and issue an addendum
  • Scissor lift, can we use Ram Board?
    • No, we will have to use something like Masonite or plywood.

Stagecoach

  • CAM 10, how do we mount this camera as it shows it floating out in the middle of the map.
    • This one will be mounted to one of the pillars Infront of the door on a the corner of the pillar. Typically conduit would be ran up and over to the camera from the building.
  • WAP’s we are moving them to the center of the room right?
    • Yes that is correct.
  • In the Gym can we use existing camera spot?
    • Yes, that should be fine, but new cable will have to be ran.
  • Do we demo current cameras?
    • Yes
  • Cafeteria, camera on Drywall?
    • Yes or will be pendant mount on a 1.5” wide poll, below obstructions
  • Cafeteria WAP’s, where we putting them?
    • Current location is fine.
  • WAP’s that are moved to middle of room, can we use existing cable if there is no service loop?
    • No, if there is no service loop then new cable will have to be ran.
  • If needed can we demo cable instead of abandoning it?
    • Yes but this should be factored into your proposal, if a cable is to be demoed out will need to be demoed out back to the closet it is pulled from no just cut at the hall.
4/18/2023 10:55am ECI
  • What cable do you want used in Lowell?
    • Lowell is CAT6 Cabling
  • What is the date you want the project completed?
    • Currently there is no anticipated completion date, however we would like to have this completed by the end of the summer, provided hardware arrives.  
  • Is there an order of importance on which facility will go first to last?
    • There isn't a specific order as they are all priority projects, however our preference would be:
      • Sage
      • Pilot Butte
      • Stagecoach
      • Lowell
      • Eastside
      • BBHS

    • On Page four of the bid specifications, it does indicate that raceways need to be painted.

  • How high from the floor do you want the ports?

    • These will be typically above the ceiling, at the moment these are not going to be utilized, however once they come back through and upgrade the door hardware we will use data.

Site Walk and other Questions:

Q: Are substitutions acceptable for the Newline panels? A: Yes, but they must be clearly identified as substitutions.
Q:When referring to articulating wall mounts, what do you mean? A: We are looking for telescoping wall mounts that would extend from the wall.
Q: Do the white boards still need to slide back and forth. A: Yes, if using the existing brackets, they will slide behind the panel, but if using a wall mount, they will need to slide in front of the pane.
Q: Can the existing brackets be moved?  A: they are currently 47.25 inches apart. They can be moved to 32" apart which is the more standard necessary mounting distance.
Q: Will we be using the USB over ethernet cables in the wall? A: No, we will be running direct connections from the panels to the teacher's desks. 
Q: How should the cable management look? A: Zip ties attached to the cabinetry are acceptable. Raceway is not necessary.
Q: The bid calls for less than 8 inches of a profile from the wall. A: The mount is what cannot be more than 8". That distance does not include the panel. This is necessary to make sure the white boards can still slide and not hit the panel.
Q: What is the maximum opening in the cabinet between the white boards? A: 72.5 inches
Q: What will need to be removed? A: Ceiling mount projectors. No need to cut electrical. Remove the existing mounts if they aren't being used for the install. No need to patch holes or replace ceiling tiles.
Q: Will there be power outlets near the where the short-throw projectors are being installed? A: Yes
Q: Where does the old equipment need to be moved? Where will the new items be located? A: To an identified central location in each building. The new items will be in a central location in the building and the installers will need to move the equipment to the classrooms as directed by a district employee. Installers will be responsible for moving trash to dumpsters on each location.
Q: Are the projectors being installed new or repurposed? A: All 27 Epson projectors and 4 Hitachi interactive projectors are new. The 3 Hitachi short-throw projectors are used.
Q: Will all the installs take place on cinderblock or sheetrock? Is there any concern for asbestos? A: Yes. All installs will be on sheetrock or cinderblock. No asbestos concerns.
Q: Do installers have to be authorized resellers? A: Vendors bidding on providing the hardware must include the manufacturer's warranty or equivalant with the equipment. Vendors bidding on installation need to be able to install equipment so the manufacturer's warranty is not voided by the installation or be able to provide an equivalent warranty.
Q: Do the installers need a certified electrician? A: No. There will not be any electrical wiring ran.
Q: How will testing the new equipment work? A: Lennie Lew will assist with the testing and will provide a computer to test with.
Q: Does the district have a preferred USB extender? Do the USBs Extenders need to be active/powered? A: There is no preference. Yes, some of the distances will be greater than recommended length so powered adapters are preferred.
Q: Will there be two outlets for each panel install? A: Yes
Q: The install must take place between June and August 15th. What will the hours of access to the buildings be? Will installers be able to work on weekends? A: There will be access in the buildings from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Weekends are also an option.
Q: The bid asked for 120 HDMI cables and extenders. The count of items on the bid calls for 115. Why the extras?  A: The additional are extras in case there are any issues with cables.
Q: For the short-throws will the drywall be sufficient for mounting or does there need to be additional support? A: The drywall is sufficient, as long as the attachments are sufficient. Toggle bolts are preferred.
Q: If the existing brackets are utilized in the installation, can we reinforce the connection for the top of the existing brackets to the wall, given that it doesn't interfere with the sliding board? A: Yes

Also this Avigilon list looks exactly what I quoted the first time.  Did anything change?

3/15/22

SCSD1

We had a discrepancy with the Avigilon portion of this bid as a result we needed to re-bid this section.  There is a slight change to the bid itself.  No additional parts were added, however the quantities have changed to be consistent on all pages. 

3/25/22

DSI

We have received a rejection letter in the mail, I wanted to double check to see if this is for the original retracted part of the Overland bid, and not for the new re-issued bid. 

3/28/22

SCSD1

You are correct, the rejection letter is due to the original camera portion of the first Overland Bid should have been recently received.  This current re-bid for the camera solution is still active and will be opened on Wednesday of this week.

2/16/22

Alliance Communications & Technologies

In regards to the 2022 Overland Rewire Hardware Bid would Axis camera products be a susceptible substitution for the Avigilon system?

 

SCSD1 - Alliance Answer

Vendors are able to submit alternative products, however any alternative part numbers must be clearly identified

2/15/22

Convergint

Can we just bid on the Avigilon Cameras and mounts?

 

SCSD1 - Convergint Answer

Yes, vendors are able to bid on individual line items.

2/15/22

ConvergeOne

C-9300 Switches


whether you want to accept the Cisco EDU “free 3 year smartnet” on the switches or whether you want the CON-SSSNT coverage listed that does carry a price?

Also, if the CON-SSSNT is needed, is that for 3YR or 5YR?

Also, is the C9300-NW-A (DNA ADVANTAGE) network licensing to be 3YR or 5YR?

 

C9115AXI

whether you want to accept the Cisco EDU “free 3 year smartnet” on the Access Points or whether you want the CON-SSSNT coverage that does carry a price?

Also, if the CON-SSSNT is needed, is that for 3YR or 5YR?

Also, is the Cisco DNA Essentials licensing correct in requesting 5YR licensing?

 

I just did not know if you want to have both licensing “match” in the number of years for switches and Access Points.

 

 

 

SCSD1 - ConvergeOne Answers

We Prefer to go with the Free 3 Year SmartNet coverage if available on all hardware. 

We are thinking that if we can go with the 5 year on the DNA Licensing. 

2/15/22

DSI

By chance were you aware of the 8% price increase for all Avigilon Video Surveillance products that go into effect March 4th? If not, would it be beneficial to change the award date to before then to avoid the 8% price increase.

 

Also, DSI is not currently a Certified reseller of Cisco products, can we still provide a bid for all Avigilon Products and General Electrical Equipment?

 

 

SCSD1 - DSI Answers

In regards to the price increase, we are limited by our scheduled board meetings for approval.  In reference to the other components of the bid, vendors are able to bid on individual line items for this bid, meaning vendors do not need to bid on all items to be awarded.  

2/15/22

Quill

Thank you for the opportunity. Unfortunately, Quill will need to no bid this opportunity for the following reasons:

  1. We cannot support a wiring project

 

 

SCSD1 - Quill Answer

This bid is for the hardware/software only, there is no installation being provided by vendors at this time for this bid.  

2/22/22

SCSD1 - Update

A new version of the bid has been released.  Quantities of Networking gear has changed slightly.  Changes to new bid document are colored in Green.  Red Strikethrough text is old text that is no longer applicable. 

2/22/22

SHI

By the way, the quantities at the end of the RFP still reflect the old numbers. Just wanted to let you know in case that throws things off for some vendors.

2/22/22

SCSD1 - Update

Version 2.1 has now been released to fix this clerical error.

 Site Walk Questions

    • What is ESE-CAM-001’s primary focus
      • The Field that is located on the corner of G St and Gobel St.
    • With the Exterior Multi-Sensor Cameras, you indicate the 270 degree cameras, what is the fourth lens used for?
      • This is to cover the blind spot that is created from the 180 image sensors. The 180 does cover a full 180 degrees, however below the camera is a dead spot, that is what we use that fourth image sensor for.
    • Would we be able to substitute the camera hardware?
      • Yes, we are allowed to accept alternative bids, however any alternative bids must be indicated as such.
    • Do we need to bid the whole project?
      • No, this bid is designed a bit different than some of our others. Potential bidders have the option to bid any of the parts or all three if desired.  We have this bid broken out into Electrical (Low Voltage Data Cabling), Hardware, and the Installation of the hardware/Software Configuration.
    • Can we use existing wire for the cameras?
      • Yes, however it must be within the wiring specifications listed within the bid.
    • Type of cable that was used to install the existing cameras?
      • CAT6
    • If wiring doesn’t fall within the specifications, would SCSD1 put up an IDF?
      • Yes, with the district reserving the right to approve the location of the IDF prior to wiring being ran.
    • Can the existing cabinet in the principal’s office be used?
      • The cameras themselves would need to tie to the network and be within the wiring specifications.
    • Under Wiring Specifications, Part 1 – General, Section 2 – Work by Others, part A, it indicates the owner will provide all powered network equipment (switches, routers, etc.). If we are using the principal’s office, will SCSD1 provide the network equipment for this? 
      • The district will provide network switches in the principal’s office for cameras that may potentially be ran to that location provided they are within the wiring specifications and not exceeding the length of 300 ft.
    • Where are the Data Closets?
      • Page 4 of the Bid Specifications show that the following:
        • MDF – RM 108 – Closet A. (Room just north of RM 107)
        • IDF – RM 229 – Closet B (On maps provided room labeled Rack B1-B2, Second Floor Library)
        • IDF – RM 215 – Closet C (On maps provided room labeled Rack C1, Second Floor Work Room)
    • Is the MDF where the server will reside?
      • No, the Server is actually hosted back at the Central Administration Building
    • With the Server in another building, that is a lot of traffic running over the network.
      • True, however we have many other buildings utilizing this same deployment method, example is our Northpark and Westridge cameras, the whole building is wired this same way with about the same number of cameras without any issues reported so far.
    • How is ESE-CAM-019 to be mounted?
      • This would be a poll mount (Pendant) that should extend below the reflective lighting.
    • Who is responsible for removing the existing cameras?
      • The existing cameras should be removed by the successful installing bidder.
    • With the installing bidder removing the existing cameras, will it be required to paint and patch holes left by old cameras?
      • Yes, installing vendor is responsible for repairing, painting, and patching of holes that are created by the cameras that are being removed from the building.
    • Where is ESE-CAM-013 to be installed?
      • Into the hard lid ceiling.
    • Is the library like ESE-CAM-019?
      • Yes, the same method of installation would be required here.
    • With the cameras in the stair wells, the design shows more on the landing between the sets of stairs, would a lift be provided to access these?
      • These cameras should be installed more on top landing but overhang just enough to capture the stair wells on both sides of the diving wall. This would eliminate the need for a lift.
    • With mounting of ESE-CAM-001, how should this look?
      • This camera should be mounted on the roof. Basically, we envision that a penetration out of the ceiling of RM 209 with conduit running up to the roof.  From here, the camera should be easily serviced from the roof without extending out over the side of the building. This would be similar to how we mounted the Pro Line cameras at the High School.  The camera mount itself is either attached to a custom bracket that is secured to the wall edge or an electrical box on the inside of the wall that is weather resistant.
    • ESE-CAM-009, installed the same way, why?
      • This is to allow the camera not only to focus on who is coming into the area, but also cover the drive way up to the kitchen area.
    • Multi-Sensor’s that are exterior, mounting height?
      • About the same level as the existing light fixtures, this should give us height insurance.
    • ESE-CAM-012 Mounting?
      • This would be on the corner of the building, most likely you would use the existing penetration for the current PTZ there and use strapped Sealed Flex to be able to run the cable into the camera.

    • Answer:  Not that we are aware of, but we understand that bids could be graded and dependent on the condition of the device. 
  • Question:  I see you are accepting conditional bids by grade of the iPad.  Does this mean that you will allow the winning bidder to receive the iPads to grade them in order to calculate the final purchase price at which time the final payment will be made?  Or will your district separate the devices by condition in order to calculate the final number?
    • Answer:  Yes – we will allow the winning bidder to grade the iPads, although the grades need to be defined on the bid. For example, A – Excellent – Device is New or slightly used for less than 90 days. Device is complete with its original box, packaging and accessories. Device is 100% functional with the remaining OEM warranty.
  • Question:  Do the iPads include their AC Chargers, if not all of them have chargers what percent of them do you estimate have them?
    • Answer:  Not all of the devices have their power blocks and cable, however we estimate 75%  or more of them do have their power block and charging cable. 
  • Question:  Can you provide a sample Serial Number for the iPad 2's and the iPad Mini's so we can look up the configuration of the devices?
    • Answer:  iPad Mini:  F4LKFETSF193  and   F9FML7QMFP84    iPad 2:  DMQG8KY6DFHY  and  DN6G9E6RDFHY
  • Question:  Can I email you an offer on the iPads or do they need to sent by regular mail, Fedex, etc.?
    • Answer:  It would be better to be sent by regular mail. That way we can stamp it and not open it until the bid opening.
  • Question:  Are they any pictures of the devices available that you could send me?  
    • Answer :
    •    

          
  • Question:   How does the winning bidder gather the iPad lot?
    • Answer:  This should be a part of your proposal on how you want those items to be obtained.  Each method that is submitted will be taken into consideration for the winning bid.   
  • Question:  Do you pack and ship or are we responsible for pick up?
    • Answer:  This should be a part of your proposal on how you want those items to be obtained.  Each method that is submitted will be taken into consideration for the winning bid.

Bid Questions:

 

9/14/18:   QUESTION:   You specified G50 as the frequency band for the Lavalier systems, but not for the additional 12 handheld transmitters.  Should those also be G50?  H50?     ANSWER:  For the line item 12 - QLXD2/BETA58A Handheld Wireless Microphone Transmitter These handheld Microphones should be configured for the G50 Frequency Range. 

9/14/18:  QUESTION:  The UA844+SWB unit on the bid comes with 4 power cables.  Did you need 12 additional, or 8 additional, for a total of twelve?  ANSWER:  We are wanting to obtain 12 power cables outside of the whatever is shipped with the UA844+SWB, this will allow us to have spares in the event that something goes wrong. 

9/14/18:  QUESTION:  Do you have additional UA88+SWB units that are not on the bid?  You'll need a total of 3 to do 12 channels.  Each of those will come with 4 power cables.   ANSWER:  We currently have two UA844’s on hand from our old system, we will just be needing the power.

9/14/18:  QUESTION:  You have specified 6 Antennas.  Usually, 2 are required per complete system, and BNC cables are required to connect them to the UA88+SWB.  So I'm not sure if you're creating 3 complete systems, and are supplying your own BNC antenna cables.  ANSWER:  We will be making three systems in total, and should already have BNC’s on hand for this.  The UA844+SWB does come with some BNC Cables, if however, we find that we need additional cables, SCSD1 will purchase those outside of this bid. 

9/14/18:  QUESTION:  QLXD2/BETA58A needs to have a frequency indicated.  Can you tell me which frequency you need?  ANSWER:  For the line item 12 - QLXD2/BETA58A Handheld Wireless Microphone Transmitter These handheld Microphones should be configured for the G50 Frequency Range. 

9/14/18:  QUESTION:  The power cables are included in the UA844+SWB for 4 wireless units. The issue here is that they actually need (3) UA844+SWB instead of one.  ANSWER:  We currently have two UA844 units, we just need the power cables for these.  

9/14/18:  QUESTION:  I would like to know if this bid requires the vendor to install anything.  ANSWER:  The installation of these materials is going to be performed by SCSD1 Staff, vendors are not installing these systems for this bid.

Bid Packet Version 2 (Updated 2/7/18)   Bid_Packet_V02.zip 

 

Bid Questions:

QUESTION:  Is this job basically changing from CAT5e over to CAT6a?   ANSWER:  Yes, we are pulling out almost all of the CAT5e and replacing it with CAT6a.  Room 120 has T-1’s and some additional cables, these are not to be touched, they will stay where they are.

 

QUESTION:  Will we need new fiber patch panel’s in the IDF?  ANSWER:  Yes, according the bid specs, we prefer Corning over Leviton on Fiber Patch Panel’s. 

 

QUESTION:  Are we going to be adding another IDF/MDF?   ANSWER:  No, all IDF’s and MDF’s listed on map are already onsite. 

 

QUESTION:  How are we expected to terminate the drops for the AP’s?   ANSWER:  We would like to have RJ-45 Keystones placed on the end of drop.  These should also be tied off above the ceiling, SCSD1 will be patching from the Keystone to the AP’s. 

 

QUESTION:  Is the Electrical Contractor responsible for purchasing the Patch Panel’s?  ANSWER:  Yes, these will need to be purchased by the Electrical Contractor and must be rated for CAT6a, refer to bid specs for brand information. 

 

QUESTION:  Is the Electrical Contractor responsible for providing Patch Cables?  ANSWER:  No, SCSD1 will be providing those.

 

QUESTION:  What is expected for service loops?  ANSWER:  SCSD1 is requesting a 3ft service loop for each drop.

 

QUESTION:  Will the electrical contractor be responsible for face plate replacements?  ANSWER:  Keystones will defiantly need to be replaced, however you might not have to replace the faceplates.  If a faceplate does require replacing that responsibility will be on the electrical contractor. 

 

QUESTION:  Cameras, what are we doing for those?  ANSWER:  Internal cameras you will be pulling the CAT6a to each star location on the map, RJ-45 Keystone termination above ceiling with a 3ft service loop.  External Cameras, you will need to pull to the exterior of the building with conduit, sealed to fire code.  The drop must be terminated in a weather proof 4 square box with a blank faceplate.  The coil for this run must be located inside of the building as there won’t be enough room in the box for the service loop. 

 

QUESTION:  Plenum?  ANSWER:  Yes, this is required for all data runs.

 

QUESTION:  Is conduit ok in room 118?  ANSWER:  Yes, that should be fine, this is the mechanical room of the building. 

 

QUESTION:  RM111, can we use existing conduit?  ANSWER:  If conduit exists to that location and the CAT6a will fit in that conduit, you can use it. 

 

QUESTION:  RM 134,132,130,122,128 How do we get into the ceiling?  ANSWER:  I spoke with our Master Electrician this morning about this, he wasn’t 100% sure on how to get into the ceiling, he thinks there might be a hatch in the electrical room (RM120).  He did propose two other locations in which he has used in the past and that would be to run drop into room 116 and gain access to the ceiling from this room.  The other method was on the south side of room 134, the entry way is a drop ceiling. 

 

QUESTION:  Is there a way to have a full-size print for Walnut?   ANSWER:  As in full size print, depends on what you’re asking for exactly.  In the bid packet that is up on the website I do have three vector files in that package.  The “.AI”, “.EPS”, “.DWG” are all vector-based images, AI is for Adobe Illustrator, the EPS is a generic Vector which can be used in AI, Corel and many other vector-based programs, and the DWG file is an AutoCAD file that was exported from AI.  With these vector-based images you can scale these drawings up to any size you desire without any pixelation of the image.  These maps however are not to scale, if this is something that you are requesting please let us know and we will get in contact with our facilities department and see if we can get a digital rendering of those. 

 

2018/02/20 - QUESTION:  Would it be possible to have another Site Walk to meet the Mandatory requirements of this bid for companies who did not see the original publication in the time frames?  ANSWER:  Yes, we will do another site walk.  We will not be granting any extensions to the bid deadline.  The additional site walk will be held on February 22nd.  This will be optional for the companies that attended the previous site walk, and mandatory for any companies wanting to bid on this project that did not participate in the previous site walk. This will be held on February 22, 2018 at 3:45pm.  We will meet in the main office of Walnut Elementary. 

 

2018/02/22 - 

QUESTION:  Can we get a bigger sized map?  ANSWER:  Yes, we have the vectors published on the website so you can blow this up as big as you need it.  If you need assistance or want a specific size, email us and I can resize it for you and publish that on the website. 

 

QUESTION:  What ends are we using to terminate the Fiber?   ANSWER:  SC Ends, on page 3 of Version 2.0 of the bid packet, bullet item number 3 states that “Fiber to be ran between MDF and IDF must be OM3, this must terminate in Fiber Patch Panel with SC ends.  Fiber must also be ran in independent conduit.”

 

QUESTION:  Corning for Fiber Patch Panel?  ANSWER:  Yes, Corning is preferred for Fiber Patch Panel’s.  On Page 7, Section 1 D states that Corning is preferred over any other brand, we will also accept the usage of Leviton, any other brands must have prior approval. 

 

Question:  Ceiling access to Room 134 (Lunch Room) ANSWER:  Access is available through the ceiling of Room 116.

 

QUESTION:  RM 111, can we use the existing conduit?  ANSWER:  Yes, if it is currently installed in that area and the new cable will fit in the conduit, you can utilize the existing conduit. 

 

QUESTION:  Can we put room 111 drops in the wall?  ANSWER: Yes, you can place the drops through the wall and not use the conduit, however the conduit will need to be removed. 

 

QUESTION:  RM 134, AP & Camera Mounting?  ANSWER:  We will be needing to have a 4 square box for each of the items on that hard-top ceiling. 

 

QUESTION:  Is conduit required?  ANSWER:  Not in drop ceiling however in the mechanical room (118) it will be required if not placed above hard top ceiling.

 

QUESTION:  Are we placing a rack in Mezzanine?  ANSWER:  We don’t have that in the bid specifications, as a result we won’t be requiring an additional rack to be provided for this location. 

 

QUESTION:  When is this bid due?  ANSWER:  On page 11 of the Version 2.0 of the bid packet, it states that bids will be accepted until 2:00p.m. on Friday March 2nd, 2018.

 

2/27/18

QUESTION:  The bid shows “Leviton” jacks and patch panels…We typically use higher end jacks and patch panels by Panduit.  Any problem with that substitution?   ANSWER:  SCSD1 would be ok with this substitution however we really would prefer the usage of Leviton. 

 QUESTION:  Is there a reason this cabling project is an “after school hours” project and not a summer project? As we are discussing this for labor costs, this process requires that whatever our team works on in an evening has to be fully finished/terminated and up and running the following morning.  We consider this a “rolling deployment” and can take longer, thus more cost.  Any chance this could be done when school is out for the summer?    ANSWER:  This project can be scheduled to be during the summer months. 

 

QUESTION:  Bid requires that both closets have a grounding bus installed.  Is that something that is actually already done?  Or is it something that datacomm company would have to do?    ANSWER:  Both the MDF and IDF in this building are both currently grounded.  So there wouldn’t be any need to have any additional ground provided for either of these data racks.

Bid Questions:

  • 3/20/18 09:21am - QUESTION:  Is Mobility a core requirement for this bid?  We were thinking about a smaller profile charging station instead of carts.   
    • ANSWER:  Mobility is going to be important for these solutions, as the students could potentially take the devices to specials and for those younger grades, moving the cart is easier than each child carrying a device.
  • 3/20/18 10:00am - QUESTION:  Can I assume the Lock n Charge are still OK for Sweetwater? 
    • ANSWER:  The Lock n Charge 30s are tough for younger students. The cabling is difficult, and they are hard to reach into. That is why we opened it up to what vendors feel would meet our needs
