Questions & Answers 1/28/2010 QUESTION: Can you confirm that the government has and can make available a copy of the original programming code for each room or will the contractor be required to develop new code? ANSWER: We do not have the code for the three rooms. When I spoke with the vendor who previously installed the rooms, he stated that the code within the AMX control system is not encoded and can be extracted. Also they do not have a copy of the code. If the contractor cannot extract the code they will indeed need to reprogram. QUESTION: Does each room have the exact same make and model equipment or is there variation of the equipment make and model, room to room? ANSWER: Each room has dissimilar equipment since they were assembled at different time frames. The following clauses/provisions are hereby incorporated by reference.
