Multiple buildings on campus include Buildings 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 18, 39, 41, 43, 45, and 46. Buildings 52 and 53 are in conformance with OIT requirements per OIT leadership and removed from the project at this time.

The Air Force ownes building 47 and was removed from the project per OIT leadership.

The OIT priority building order provided is: Buildings 11, 10, 5/6, 8, 3, 2, 43, 46, 45, 1, 4 ,41 Quadrants (BA, BD, BC, 1A,1B,1C,1D, 2A,2B,2C,2D, 3A,3B,3C,3D, 4B,4C,4D, 5A,5B,5C,5D, 6A,6D).

The construction shall include provisions for expanding the size of IT Closet Areas, addressing UPS deficiencies, grounding and bonding conditions within each closet, alarm monitoring, configuration of equipment within the closets such as cable trays/housings, rack configuration, sizing of sleeves for cabling, removing abandoned cable and addressing physical security needs. The construction shall provide new equipment rack(s) furnished with both horizontal and vertical cable managers, vertical bonding bars, UPS, patch panel and an optical fiber termination shelf. Scope will include re-pulling data drops associated with relocated equipment racks and the termination of optical fiber and all wire management is included in the scope of work.

Additionally, dedicated air conditioning units with monitoring shall be provided. The contractor shall ensure closets are enclosed smoke tight, provide access controls and video surveillance (per Physical security requirements), correct emergency power receptacles for UPS systems and monitoring and ensure cable management trays and removal of old CAT 3 cable infrastructure is documented.

Contractor shall develop and provide a complete set of ICRA drawings in coordination with the scope of each building for COR approval prior to construction. Provide limited construction period services as described in this and other sections of the contract and provide “as-builts” based on observation and contractors’ marked drawings.
