1.If not brand new, could you please provide the current / previous contract number?
Answer: N/A
2.Is that the case or is the equipment sitting on the work surface? We also see that the rows have changed to rows of 6 operators having only 36" of space each and one display each, is that correct
Answer: The equipment will be sitting inside the consoles, the only thing on the workspace will be one monitor, keyboard, and mouse. The back of the console will need to hold all the equipment.
3.Do you require any certifications?
Answer: TAA Compliant consoles
4.What will the criteria be for making the final decision? Price, quality, best solution...
Answer: Best technological solution, quality, price is the order of our priorities. We have a set aside budget for this.

1 Mirage B3000S (NIPR) Small Form Factor PC 12 x 11 x 3.6

6.Where is the power coming from? Raised floor, or core holes...
Answer: Power is coming from the walls so the consoles will be daisy chained.
7.Will they be hardwired or plug-ins?
Answer: Hardwired preferred but plug ins available
8.Due to the size of the room, we cannot have 6 rows of 6. I would suggest 4 rows of 9. Is the customer okay with this?
Answer: Our requirement is to sit 36 people in this room and meet the technological needs however you can do that.
9.Do we need to build all desks individually, or would it be ok if they were attached?
Answer: The only requirement is that the consoles fit in the room and we are able to seat 36 people.
10.If we build 18 desks at 72 for two users instead of 36 desks at 36 for 1 user, which means there would be no seem between the two, it would save a lot of cost. Would this be an option?
Answer: Yes absolutely, we just need to be able to sit 36 people in the room.
11.I am being asked to ask are we are able to submit a quote.
Answer: Yes
12.Where will the requirement be located?
