5830--Upgrade Public Address System

Statement of Work Public Address System 1. BACKGROUND The Department of Veterans Affairs Corporal Michael J. Crescenz VA Medical Center (CMCVAMC) operates a Public Address (PA) system which is used throughout the campus. The PA system is currently past its useful life, and soon the PBX program that supports the communication of the PA system to the Cisco VOIP system will be retired, rendering the PA system unusable. A service contract is necessary to or replace the PA system to a standalone system that does not rely on PBX in order to assure that the mission of the CMCVAMC can continue. In order to provide these services, the Contractor shall furnish all parts, services, tools, equipment, labor, facilities, insurance, transportation, and supervision. 2. CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITIES The Contractor shall provide all labor, material, tools, equipment, and supervision required to overhaul the facility s PA system. Contractor will perform a site visit to determine best solution to replace outdated 70V distributed speaker paging system which currently interfaces with a PBX system to function with the Cisco system. The contractor will then implement solution, provide, and install new head end components for the PA system to encompass everything from the audio input to the output of the loudspeakers; all the routing, processing, control, and monitoring. The contractor will install three new amps in the central head end, and 5 others will replace existing amps installed in various outlying locations. The contractor will also upgrade the paging system server onsite to a new workstation with the latest Windows OS and required software. The new PA system should be standalone and operate without connecting to the VA s network. The new PA system should also not rely on PBX in order to communicate with the Cisco VOIP. 3.
