Audio Visual Infrastructure Modernization Design

As an amendment to this RFP the deadline for proposals has been extended. This soliciation is updated to provide responses to questions. Please find these attached. The office of Information and Technology of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is looking to engage an audio visual engineering and design firm to conduct a complete review of the AV technologies of the Museum’s permanent exhibit (PE) and consolidate, update, upgrade and/or replace applicable technologies to bring the PE infrastructure to current standards. Briefly, the company selected through this solicitation shall be responsible for generating a comprehensive system design for AV delivery infrastructure for the Museum’s PE. The design aspects also include elements to integrate a show-control system for management and maintenance of the AV infrastructure. The Museum’s current AV system is comprised of various obsolete equipment that has served the museum for about 27 years and they have reached their end of life status. The scope of this project addresses the redesign of the backend systems and cabling infrastructure that currently supports audio and video content to the Museum’s PE. To date, the museum has replaced approximately ninety percent of the video monitors on the Museum floors that our current system feeds. While this project is focused primarily on a redesign of the backend system, USHMM anticipates that some endpoints such as lighting controllers, amps, speakers and a small percentage of monitors will need to be replaced on the exhibit floors to integrate with proposed redesign. PLEASE NOTE THAT A NON MANDATORY SITE VISIT WILL TAKE PLACE ON 3/5/2020. FURTHER DETAILS ARE AVAILABLE IN THE ATTACHED SOLICITATION PACKAGE.
