Specifications

2. One or more Secure-It Sonic Shock SSA-100 units shall be used to secure the projector(s), audience
flat panel, and other major pieces of equipment not permanently housed in the instructor
workstation.
Intention
The intention of the language in the contract, as I wrote it, was that it would apply primarily to these types
of jobs:
1. Installation of a new complete system
2. Substantial renewal of an existing system, such as refresh of the AV core
3. New or replacement installations of individual pieces of equipment which would normally be
equipped with a Sonic Shock as defined in Security sections A and B.
Example Scenarios
1. TU requests a new classroom system to be designed and installed in a classroom that has no existing
system. A Sonic Shock would be expected to be provided in accordance with contract terms in
Security, Sections A and B.
2. TU requests a projector replacement; the projector is obsolete and a newer model is desired. A
Sonic Shock would be expected to be provided in accordance with contract terms in Security,
Section B. The work requested is directly tied to a piece of equipment that requires a Sonic Shock.
3. TU requests a projector replacement as above; when the room is inspected, the TU staff member
notices a missing Sonic Shock alarm on another piece of equipment which would be normally
alarmed, such as a document camera. A Sonic Shock would still expected for the projector; however,
TU would not expect contractor to provide or install a Sonic Shock for the document camera.
4. Visual Sound’s sole due-diligence expectation would be to report the omission with the document
camera if the installer happened to notice it in the course of the projector work; to be clear, a
formal inspection of the room is not expected in this case to determine whether all equipment
specified in the On-Call Contract has Sonic Shock alarm(s). That is the duty and responsibility of TU
staff in this case—except for the projector.
Basis of Interpretation
1. The contract terms and conditions supersede all other interpretations. We expect that products,
services, and standards stated in the contract will be applied, whether explicitly quoted or not, to all
jobs under the contract.
2. Variances between the contract terms and conditions and TU’s published standards must be worked
out and addressed prior to issuance of a quote.
3. If TU or VSI waives something in the preliminary discussions leading up to a quote, it must be
specified in the SOW as part of the quote submission. This will prevent surprises and
misunderstandings for both parties.
4. Although TUs published standards provide additional guidance, if there is a collision between the
standards and the contract, the contract prevails absent prior agreement.
5. The director is the sole person who will interpret the contract within the OTS Classroom and
Computer Lab Technologies group.
6. If Visual Sound feels the interpretation is incorrect, the appeal path is TU Procurement.
