A diagram of the room layout can be obtained from the Contract Specialist POC identified below (note that diagram does not show dimensions described above). Government responsibilities: 1. Provide access to necessary areas to complete the project during normal business hours (0700 ? 1530 M-F) 2. Provide a safe and clean environment for contractor employees and their subcontractors. 3.

VTC codec must be sufficient for the room size; should be rack-mountable with separate camera; and be capable of displaying local camera view and remote site on-screen simultaneously. Video teleconferencing equipment should support IP and ISDN trunk type connectivity, and will initially be connected to ISDN. VTC equipment should be ready to accept up to three ISDN lines without requiring additional equipment, though the room will have only one ISDN line at the time the work is performed. Camera should be able to move and focus on various areas around the conference room, and will be wall-mounted (or on a contractor-provided shelf) on one side of the projector screen (location to be determined at installation time). The equipment must have the necessary outputs and inputs to be fully operational with the other audio/visual equipment (computer and projector) and include remote controls for both the VTC unit and the computer (wireless keyboard and mouse) so the presenter can remotely control Powerpoint slides on the computer. A spare computer VGA input with A/V cables and Ethernet cable for connecting a presenter?s laptop PC (at the lectern) to the projector and speaker system is also necessary. 7. Provide and install audio system equipment to include necessary audio amplifier, VTC microphones, and ceiling-mounted speakers. Ceiling speakers should be multi-media quality speakers. 8. Audio amplifier, microphones and speakers must provide sufficient coverage for the entire room for video teleconferences and local presentations. Audio system must have the necessary outputs and inputs to be fully operational with other audio/visual equipment. 9. Mount all electronic equipment inside a DDAA-provided multimedia lectern and contractor-provided wall-mounted rack. The lectern will be placed at the front of the training room approximately four feet from the left-hand wall and four feet from the front wall. The lectern measures approximately 48.5? H x 41? W x 30? D. and contains a standard 19? rack with 10 space EIA compliant 10RU rack rails. Since this is insufficient space to hold all of the equipment and allow for adequate equipment ventilation, the contractor should provide a wall-mounted rack to hold the remaining equipment. The rack should be mounted in the storage room behind the projector screen. 10. Route all necessary cabling, power, wiring, etc from the lectern along the floor to the left-hand wall. Cabling should be protected against damage from foot traffic by a cable protector / floor guard to eliminate a tripping hazard. Cabling from the lectern should enter the wall through nose plates near the electrical outlet so that the amount of exposed/visible cabling is minimized, and have approximately six feet of spare cable (coiled underneath the lectern) so that the lectern may be moved as needed. Ethernet cables for the PC and laptop PC, and a telephone cord will also need to be routed from the wall to the lectern. 11. Provide and install required installation equipment, interfaces, control system, remotes, power switches, switch boxes, cables, wall-mounted rack, surge protector, floor cable protector/guard, wall plates / nose plates, other mounting brackets and miscellaneous hardware. The control panel interface should be a 7? ? 8.5? (diagonal) color LCD touch control panel located at the lectern and should integrate the system as much as possible. Some method of operating the camera and muting the microphones from the table(s) during a VTC should be provided. 12. Install, test and align the system. Labor will include all on-site installation, assembly, fabrication, modification, wiring, coordination and supervision, configuration, programming, testing, checkout and training. 13. Provide training to Government personnel on proper use of equipment. 14. Provide wiring diagrams/schematics, programming code, instructions, and equipment factory manuals to DDAA upon completion of project. The contractor will not be required to make any structural, electrical or other modifications; however the contractor will be required to coordinate with and facilitate Government facilities personnel and facilities contractors relative to any structural, electrical or other facility modifications that need to be done. The exact time frame for installation of the equipment will be coordinated with the Government as to when the conference rooms will be available and ready for equipment installation. Contractor shall ensure full integration and operation of all equipment, including any necessary programming, assembly and testing. Contractor shall test and align the system. Contractor will provide training to the Government personnel on how to operate the equipment and will provide any required training documentation/instructions.

The Government intends to award a contract resulting from this RFQ to a responsible offeror using the lowest price technically acceptable process. Quotes shall be evaluated for acceptability only and shall not be rated. Award will be based on the lowest evaluated price of quotes meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for the non-cost factors. The following non-cost factors shall be used to evaluate quotes: Factor 1 ? Technical capability of the products offered to meet the Government?s requirement and Factor 2 ? Past Performance. Factor 1 shall be evaluated on a ?go/no go? basis. If a quote has been determined to be a ?go? on Factor 1, then Factor 2 will be evaluated to determine if the offeror?s past performance history is satisfactory. An offeror who has submitted a technically acceptable quote and who has been found to have a satisfactory past performance history will then have its quote evaluated for the lowest price. Factor 1 ? Technical capability of the products offered to meet the Government?s requirement The minimum criteria for acceptability for this factor shall be the submission of descriptive literature that clearly indicates what the offeror is proposing and will be providing all products in accordance with the stated characteristics in the Scope of Work (SOW). ?Descriptive literature? means information (e.g., cuts, illustrations, drawings and brochures) that is submitted as part of a quote. Descriptive literature is required to establish, for the purpose of evaluation and award, details of the product offered meet the specifications in the SOW. The information is required to determine the technical acceptability of the offered product. Failure to submit descriptive literature or failure of descriptive literature to show that the product offered conforms to the requirements of this solicitation may result in the rejection of the offer.

Past Performance By past performance, the Government means the offeror?s record of conforming to the solicitation specifications and to standards of good workmanship; the offeror?s adherence to contract schedules, including the administrative aspects of performance; the offeror?s reputation for record of reasonable and cooperative behavior and commitment to customer satisfaction; and generally the offeror?s business-like concern for the interest of the customer. Evaluation of past performance will be a subjective assessment based on consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances. It will not be based on absolute standards of acceptable performance. The Government is seeking to determine whether the offeror has consistently demonstrated a commitment to customer satisfaction and timely deliveries. Offerors who have submitted a technically acceptable quote will be given an opportunity to address any unfavorable reports of past performance. In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Offerors must submit a completed copy of FAR 52.212-3 OFFEROR REPRESENTATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS-COMMERCIAL ITEMS with the price offer, or may complete the representations and certifications on the internet at http://orca.bpn.gov. Failure to include the certifications along with a price proposal will render an offeror ineligible for award.

Prices, representations/certifications, descriptive literature, and past performance information must be received NLT 4:00 PM EDT on September 5, 2007.
