This message has been distributed to various recipients / companies who have expressed interest or will likely be involved in some manner with this project. The purpose of this memo is to provide you with some information about certain matters that may impact upon your participation in the project, and more specifically, to inform all parties about some changes to deadlines for tasks on this project. Here is a listing of the topics to be addressed within this message: 1 — General Project Information 2 — Revised Bidding Deadlines 3 — Specified Product References / Performance 4— Submittal Of Alternate Products 1 — General Proiect Information This project involves new construction of a four-story (basement plus three levels) classroom and administrative building (approximately 40,000 SF) on the BYU IDAHO campus (formerly Ricks College) in Rexburg, ID. A general description of this building from a Division 17 perspective would define the work to be completed as the installation of approximately 783 Category 6 plenum cables into 265 workstation outlets within two Telecommunication Rooms. On June 5, the complete construction documents package was made available at a pre - bid conference for general bidders at the project site. Interested firms may obtain a set of the complete project specifications / blueprints by sending a $ 200.00 deposit check (refundable upon return of the documents) to the following point of contact. Chuck Frost, Physical Plant Director BYU IDAHO Physical Plant Building 525 South Center Street Rexburg, ID 83460-8205 Phone (208) 356-2451 The Owner has historically used a short list of Pre -Approved Contractors from which they will accept project bids. INFOmotion has worked with the Owner's IT Staff to establish a preliminary list of questions that should be completed by other Provisional Contractors on this project, and should be included as an additional response item within their written bid response. This list of questions is hereby made available to all parties, so that all contractors that choose to do so can include all relevant questions .relative to contractor capabilities. 2 — Revised Biddina Deadlines Interested parties should be advised of this revised schedule of deadlines to be observed for participation on this project. June 14, 2001 at 5PM — Deadline for submission of Alternate Product documentation package for review and consideration (see Items 3 and 4 that follow) June 26, 2001 at 2PM — Deadline for General Bidder bid responses Since the deadline related to Alternate Products is close at hand, this message has been distributed to expedite and communicate the details about that process. 3 — Specified Product References / Performance Within the project bid specifications, INFOmotion has acted upon the instructions by the Owner to establish a combination of industry standards as the minimal performance standard (Category 6, per Draft 8 of ANSI / EIA / TIA — 568A & B), with the additional listing of specific AVAYA communication products as the preferred product performance benchmark that exceeds those minimum standards. For consideration, here is an abbreviated listing of the most relevant products listed: ✓ Category 6 Four Pair Cabling (UL CMP rated) — AVAYA GigaSPEED 2071 cable ✓ Category 6 Workstation Outlets —A VA YA GigaSPEED MGS300 Jack Inserts ✓ Category 6 Patch Panels— AVAYA GigaSPEED 48 Port Patch Panels When this benchmark system is installed in compliance with the manufacturer's requirements, the resulting system will benefit from a 20 year extended warranty as provided by the manufacturer_ Any other competitive product platforms that are proposed should also consider this extended warranty benchmark as a significant issue of importance to the Owner. All relevant extended warranty programs for alternative products shall also be documented as required below. Interested parties are strongly encouraged to include these products, as well as other products, in the form of a multiple product set bid response strategy. The Owner wishes to receive proposals for competitive products that will meet and exceed their .expectations for performance and value. All parties that wish to provide additional product options should pay close attention to meeting or exceeding the required / desired performance of these benchmark products. This represents a definite opportunity for competitive contractors to demonstrate their capabilities to select, document, and propose those product solutions that represent an excellent performance / price relationship to achieve the Owner's technology objectives for this project- 4 — Submittal Of Alternate Products Attached to this message is an excerpt from the bid specifications document entitled Excerpt And Revisions - Division 17020 — Standards & Compliance which establishes the process for submission of any alternate product sets for review and approval. Since the completed system will be comprised of a cable component, a connectivity component, and the expectation for an extended manufacturer's warranty, any approval of alternative systems shall be specific to each contractor that submits them. Specifically, INFOmotion and the Owner intend to independently verify that the contractor that submits alternative products for review and consideration has been adequately certified and that they are currently eligible to offer these extended system warranties by the manufacturer(s) involved, Thank you in advance for your involvement with this project. I have every confidence that the group of participants that are expected to participate in this project will create that ideal mix of performance and value to meet and exceed the project objectives. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
