ANSWERS:
Regarding the removal of the old equipment/hardware - Will the school keep or discard
the of old equipment? Who is responsible for the disposal?
No, the school will not keep the old equipment. The awarded contractor will be
responsible for the removal and disposal of all debris and equipment.
Is there a preference for the location of the rack?
The rack shall be mounted in the concession stand area; the room adjacent to the gym
court. (See Plan)
We may opt to include a tablet as the optional mobile station. For the system I have in
mind, a user can connect a phone or tablet to wirelessly via Bluetooth to the system to
play music/ media, as well as the capability to connect to the 3.5mm/ 1/8” audio jack in
the floor. It will include a rugged case and stand to hold it and a mic.
Would there be a preference for iPad or android/ galaxy tablet?
The mixer will require network connection. Will that be an issue with your IT department?
Since this is an optional item, the preference would be up to the Proposer to provide
sufficient information.
With our wireless network, it will not usually allow devices to connect to one another like
this. It’s a security issue so it’s blocked and hard to get around. IT would prefer the
Bluetooth option, although the person controlling it would need to be closer because
Bluetooth doesn’t have the range that Wi-Fi does.
