 Question: Can we perform Remote Programming for some of the tasks listed under Section V
under Pricing Proposal, Items 1-14?
Answer: Yes, this will be set-up after the PSA is awarded.
 Question: Please clarify Item # 7 under Section V – what is considered a non-system related
issue?
Answer: The District wants to track all activities having to do with the ACAMS and Video
systems. This should include any time caused by other systems. For example, if a camera
goes off line and appears to be malfunctioning but in fact it is found that a network line
had been severed by a separate contractor who is installing a new light fixture.
 Question: Would you be willing to set a standard allotment of hours for each vendor to bid on
Items # 12, 13, 14 under Section V – Pricing Proposal? It is difficult to estimate accurately the
services in these categories.
Answer: I don’t think that we want an “allotment”. Vendors should be able to use their
“experience programming systems of similar size and complexity” to come up with a
reasonable price to charge for the Services.
 Question: Are there as-builts (drawings) for each campus for panel locations etc.?
Answer: For the most part yes.
