Sheffield IT‐Infrastructure Upgrade

STATEMENT OF WORK

SCOPE OF CONTRACT:

Contractor shall provide all equipment, labor, materials, tools, and other incidentals to perform all work necessary and required for the construction of the project as indicated. Two buildings at the Sheffield Workstation in Sheffield, PA need IT‐infrastructure upgrades. This site currently needs a secured, designated, IT Network room or space to house IT Servers and Switches. This central IT section will support 2 buildings. Currently, there are no wireless access points located at this facility. Both buildings will need wireless access points. Buildings are approximately 125’ apart, conduit will connect both buildings.

LOCATION:

All work will be at the Sheffield Workstation:

Sheffield Workstation

4850 U.S. Route 6

Sheffield, PA 16347

[2]

BUILDING 1 – SHEFFIELD C&M SHOP (NRM ID 84857)

EXISTING CONDITIONS: The C&M Shop currently has DSL for internet service. The building does not have any network infrastructure in place. This building will support 13 staff members during peak season.

PROPOSED ACTION: Requesting to upgrade network infrastructure and internet connection. The back wall is recommended for hosting IT Cube Cabinet, then an IT rack for space allowed. New cabling will be run from

IT cabinet to all workstations in the facility. There should be 2 data lines for each access port. Surface mounted data jacks along with vertical and horizonal wire mold could be used to decrease labor cost trying to route the new cabling. IT has recommended to have a conduit installed into the back of the building connecting Building 1 to Building 2. The distance between these buildings is 60 feet. Recommending 4‐inch conduit connect the two buildings. The conduit will extend into the FIRE SHOP Attic Space and end in the

FIRE SHOP Office Space. There will be a 2nd IT cabinet installed to wire out the workstations in their office. A fiber optic cable connection along with 6 lines shall be run between the 2 cabinets. A wireless access point

(WAP) shall also be installed.

Install a solid Copper Grounding buss bar with grounding strap cable sized for the distance it needs to run back to the facility main grounding point, 2 x12 grounding bus bar for the server rack and hardware.

Verify and install as needed adequate power for electrical. A dedicated 20 amp, 2 or 4 plug receptacle to power a 2200 UPS for the switch. This provides protection for surges and low voltage.

Verify and install appropriate equipment, as needed, to maintain 72 degrees, 24/7 when the door is closed for extended periods of unattended occupancy. Some solutions seen elsewhere have been to install exhaust fans, ducts, grills, and returns for proper ventilation and cooling.

If not able to achieve cooling, install a mini‐split AC system with independent thermostat controls.

Proper lighting is needed for IT closet.

BUILDING 2 – SHEFFIELD FIRE OFFICE/SHOP (NRM ID: 84852)

EXISTING CONDITIONS: Currently has no internet service. The building has no current network infrastructure in place. Peak Season this building will support 12 staff members.

PROPOSED ACTION: Requesting to upgrade network infrastructure and obtain an internet connection.

Conduit pathway to run from new IT Cube Cabinet in the C&M Shop to a 2nd, new IT Cube Cabinet in the

Fire Shop. New cabling will be run from 2nd IT Cube Cabinet to all workstations in the Fire Shop Office space along with Fire Shop Garage space for meetings. There should be 2 data lines for each access port.

Surface mounted data jacks along with vertical and horizontal wire mold could be used to decrease labor cost trying to route the new cabling. A fiber optic cable connection along with 6 lines shall be run between the 2 cabinets. A wireless access point (WAP) shall also be installed.

Install a solid Copper Grounding buss bar with grounding strap cable sized for the distance it needs to run back to the facility main grounding point, 2 x12 grounding bus bar for the server rack and hardware.
