Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides responses to vendor questions regarding the network cabling installation opportunity.

• Wall Material: Walls may contain cement or other impediments affecting Wi-Fi signal. AP locations are general and will be optimized by Ops personnel.
• Cable Removal: Previously run cable must be removed 48-72 hours after new cable installation and testing.
• Access: Only the communications closet requires an escort. Ops personnel will arrange access.
• Patch Panel & Termination: Ops personnel will install the 24-port patch panel. Vendor is responsible for running CAT 6 cable to designated areas and labeling it. All cables require female keystone termination.
• Cable Quantity: One CAT 6 wire per location is required, totaling 24 drops. Room 142 will have an AP and the final drop.
• Cable Type: CAT 6 cable type (fire-resistant for HVAC or regular) depends on whether wires pass through HVAC systems. Refer to SOW 3.2.8 and 8.1 for plenum requirements.
• Labeling: Each CAT 6 cable must be labeled on both ends for identification.
• Work Hours: Work is generally expected during normal weekdays (0700-1600). After-hours or weekend work may be accommodated if a justifiable reason is provided.
• Contractor Responsibility: Contractor is responsible for network cable installation, mounting the rack, and installing the patch panel. Ops personnel will handle AP and Apple TV mounting.
• Materials Provided: The government (Ops personnel) has purchased APs, racks, patch panels, and patch cords. The contractor primarily provides the network cable for drops and potentially some mounting hardware.
• Riser Conduits: Verification of riser conduit destinations to specific floors was partially successful; some conduits could not be definitively identified.
• Grounding: A grounding BUS bar is available for the wall-mounted rack.
• Core Drills: No concrete core drills are anticipated.
• Faceplates/Mounting: Wall plates and recessed installations are not required. Cable drops will come directly from the drop ceiling with terminated keystones. APs and Apple TV ports will be ceiling/wall mounted by Ops personnel.
• CAT 6 Footage: Contractors should use CE diagrams (Attachment 3) for estimates, verified during installation, with a maximum run of 300 ft per drop.
• RCDD Requirement: No explicit RCDD requirement is stated in the SOW, but SOW section 8.1 should be reviewed for potential requirements.
• Brand Specs: A StarTech bracket and a 24-port Hubbell switch plate are specified.
• Cable Color Code: T-568B is the specified color code.
• Renovations: No renovations are anticipated, but SOW 10.1 and Attachment 4 should be reviewed for ESOH statements.
• EMT Conduit: Either a low voltage or electrical contractor can install EMT conduit pathways; review SOW section 8.1.

These clarifications refine requirements regarding cable types, installation methods, materials provided, and contractor responsibilities, which may impact proposal preparation and execution.
