Description

Amendment to this synopsis is to include the following: Extended Response date to 19 September 2006/4:30pm PST; include Questions and Answers; and provide Revised COMM LAB Conceptual Layout. Question: I am having trouble with obtaining the information and specific requirements listed under the Security Requirements section of the SOW (Line Items a - i), which I am told can make a significant difference, especially the TEMPEST requirements. Answer: The JSF Security authorities decided to eliminate the TEMPEST requirement from the SOW. Under the Place and Period of Performance Section (Line Item b) a delivery date is not given, however; just below the NOTE paragraph on the same page, the SOW states that the "delivery must be 60 days after receipt of purchase order and FOB Destination". Answer: The Delivery of supplies/materials and Period of Performance to be completed 90 days upon Receipt of Order. 1. Is this to be certified and by whom? Yes it will be accredited by SAF/AQ and it is the contractors responsibility to meet accreditation requirements stated in the SOW. 2. Are Fire sprinklers be required due to hanger location? No, however, the base fire department is requiring pull station(s), photoelectric smoke detectors, and audio visual alarms. Notifier is the base standard. 3. Who will be doing the utility connections; will we be terminating at the building for electrical and telecom? Connections from mobile unit to building power will be done in house; all interior wiring and devices shall be installed by the proposing contractor. Typically, we are looking for a "plug and play" operation. 4. What are the internal telecomm requirements? 8 comm/data connections in the main room and one comm/data connection in the secondary room located within the SCIF. Data lines shall be fiber and Cat6 for phones. Customer will specify. 5. Who is supplying the Hirsch and IDS systems? The Hirsch access control devices will be GFE and the Advantor IDS (base standard) shall be provided by the proposing contractors. For the Advantor, we are assuming 2 motion detectors, 1 keypad and 1 control panel, and 2 BMS's. 6. Who is responsible for the internal wiring of the access control points? Please note on drawings. Proposing contractor shall be responsible for all internal installation of conduits, conductors, and devices. Access control devices will be GFE (Hirsch). On our concept drawing, 3 ea entry and 3 ea exit proximity pads (one set per door), 3 magnetic door locks, one M8N control panel (vestibule room), and 2 TXRS (F/O). 7. What codes listed under ?execution? are required ? All standard national building/manufacturing codes to include, but not limited to the NEC, IBC, NFPA, Life Safety Codes are applicable. 8. What is the weight of crypto safe? The crypto safes weigh 1000 lbs each, and there are two each (see attached revised concept drawing for location) . 9. Who is doing utility connections? See item #3 10. There is a ramp shown but not ?called out? on the bid request. The ramp shown will not fit-can we ramp the building?After further review, we will not require a ramp to be built at this time however, we will be requiring one set of stairs with landings for each entry and exit point. NOTE - We are looking to industry for the best solution for our project. Drawing is "conceptual" and not limited to these approximate dimensions. Show us what you propose will best fit our requirements. Most important, when the job is complete, the government expects a complete and useable product. Please contact terence.vickers@edwards.af.mil for Revised Conceptual layout via email. NOTE: Due to time contraints, the final response time will have to be as listed above - 19 Sep 2006, 4:30pm, PST.
