QUESTIONS THAT WERE PRSENTED AT THE SITE VISIT ON 17 MARCH 04 1) Would it be possible to develop contacts with the building contractor so that we may seek the possibility of using them for the actual construction work? (If they drill the holes, it wouldn't void their own warranty would it?) Please refer to the Statement of Work of the request for proposal, para. 1 "...there will be no facility modifications (roof/wall penetrations) permitted." 2) Would it be possible to get an extension on the RFP due date based upon time frames to coordinate due to question 1 and with the carriers to get their approval? Closing date has been extended to 2 Apr 04. 3) Who (if anyone) is coordinating this with the local carriers to get their permission to re-transmit their licensed frequencies? Will that be the bidders responsibility? Request bidders take care of this. 4) Will we be allowed to return to take signal strength measurements in Bldg 1235? Typically this is done after a bid is won and as a way to verify the design. We will be available 5) Is the list of accepted bidders limited to those present at the site walk? No 6) What are the performance metrics of the system for acceptance (if any)? Performance metrics are clear reception of cellular phones within the facility. 7) I assume some kind of battery backup? Is there a time requirement (i.e. 4 hours, 8 hours)? No back-up is required. If the facility has no power, no one will be in side Working
