VIDEO SURVEILLANCE REPLACEMENT

AMENDMENT 0002:  2/19/2022:

QUESTION: “I had not considered the challenge of lightning strikes. Would it be beneficial for us to include lightning strike kits for the exterior units? Maybe as optional equipment?”

ANSWER:  “No this will not be added as a requirement to the scope, but I would be glad to receive it priced outside the quote as an option so the additional pricing does not affect the overall quotes of all being compared on the same technical requirements."  

AMENDMENT 0001:  2/19/2022:

QUESTION: Does NOAA NWS have a preferred camera manufacturer? Are there known cameras which work with the system or currently being used in the system?

ANSWER:  No.  We have no preference.  The cameras must meet all requirements listed in the SOW.  Refer to 1.6.2, 1.6.4, and 1.7.   All existing system equipment and cabling will be removed and disposed of by the contractor.  Refer to 1.5.

A complete overhaul/upgrade is needed.  For Melbourne, none of the current cameras are suitable for continued use.  Several of the Pan/Tilt no longer operate due to lightning strikes.  Our system is old technology with BNC connectors. Will require new cabling etc.  

Clauses in the RFQ 52.204-25 & 26 and the provision under 52.204-24 cover Telecommunication sources which cannot be used.

Minimally the following:

Additionally, in order for video surveillance equipment to be installed on U.S. government properties, it must comply with section 889 of the 2019 NDAA. In short, none of its components can be constructed by any of these companies:

• Huawei Technologies Company
• ZTE Corporation
• Hytera Communications Corporation
• Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Company
• Dahua Technology Company

Two floor plans for each locations are attached.
