J059--Chapel Video Feed Upgrades Bedford VA Medical Center

The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking bids for the upgrade of the chapel video feed at the Bedford VA Medical Center. The project involves installing a new HD PoE network camera, encoder, network switch, and digital modulator to replace the existing camera and audio system. The contractor will be responsible for designing and installing the new system, including running new fiber and Cat6 cables. The project requires the contractor to work with the COR to determine the best options for the system design and installation. The contractor will also be responsible for testing and commissioning the new system. Some key points to consider include: • The existing fiber drop goes to Building 3's Data Closet, and the contractor will need to measure the best route for the new fiber cable. • The contractor will need to provide all necessary mounting hardware for the camera, integrator device, and local networking gear. • The system will require a single-mode fiber connector, but the type is unknown. • The contractor will need to provide a new encoder, network switch, HD PoE network camera, A & V decoders, and digital modulator, but there is no preference for manufacturer and model. • The contractor will need to work with the COR to determine the best options for the system design and installation.
