Z--DESERT DISCOVERY CENTER SECURITY SHUTTER

Color: The specified cream/ivory colored hard foam resin slat material appears to be discontinued or unavailable from manufacturers at this time. Would the Government accept a close alternative (e.g., beige/sand) in lieu of cream? If cream is required, can the Government provide a specific RAL or manufacturer color reference number so we can source a matching product? Key Switch vs. Keypad: SOW Task 12 specifies a key switch system with 20 keys for the front door. Would the Government consider a digital keypad system as a functional equivalent? A keypad would allow code-based access management rather than physical key distribution/replacement, and would avoid a wiring conflict between the 4-wire key switch motor configuration and the 3-wire remote motor configuration used on the other shutters. 3. Electrical Routing: The SOW requires that exposed wiring be enclosed in conduit, neatly mounted to the building or ceiling. Is there an existing electrical layout, drawing, or preferred routing plan for the EMT conduit (e.g., over the roof and down the building edges), or is the routing approach left to the awarded contractor's discretion, subject to COR approval? 4. Are the shutters being installed on the exterior? Beige/sand or close alternative to building paint color is acceptable. Keypad is acceptable contingent the code can be changed by BLM due to possible future employee changes. The instructions for keypad code changes and troubleshooting must be presented to COR upon completion Electrical drawing may possibly be provided but not guaranteed. Routing will be left to the discretion of awarded contractor subject to COR approval. Preferred routing is interior or over the roof due to high transient and theft prone area. Yes.
