If this determination occurs after award, how will any resulting change in scope be handled for pricing purposes? Answer: The contractor can bid assuming re-use of existing speakers and wiring. If during install, if wiring or speakers are found to be broken, then replacement by additional purchases outside of this contract can be completed. 2. CLIN 0005 references an “OFE Equipment Rack.” Please confirm what “OFE” designates and whether the equipment rack is contractor-furnished or Government-furnished. Answer: Sorry for the confusion on this point. Please include a new Lectern within the bid.

I am guessing completion in late spring 2027 realistically. 6.

If available, we respectfully request that these documents be provided to assist offerors in developing accurate equipment, cabling, installation, and labor pricing. Answer: Not sure, please stand by. 12. Additionally, considering the technical clarifications above and the limited time between the Government’s anticipated responses and the current quote deadline, Communication Logic respectfully requests an extension of the proposal due date to September 30, 2026.
