The purpose of this amendment is to 1) Give a more detailed description of the installation and work to be done; 2) Answer questions raised during the site visit held on March 27, 1998; 3) Add: CLINs 0024, 0025, and 0026; 4) Delete and Replace: CLINs 0012, 0014, 0015, 0018, 0022 and 0023. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTALLATION AND WORK TO BE DONE: The Contractor shall provide and deliver CCU cables and pan/tilt control cables and camera brackets so that the brackets can be mounted and the cables run to the camera positions from each console by NIST staff. NIST, upon the delivery of equipment and consoles, will assemble the consoles and install the CCU's, pan/tilt controllers, wave victor scope, sync generator, and power supplies and related accessories.
