Statement of Work (SOW)

Installation of Fiber Optic Cables Student Dorms

Center for Domestic Preparedness

1. PROJECT OVERVIEW

This Scope of Work (SOW) details the plan for upgrading and expanding the fiber optic network infrastructure at the Center for Domestic Preparedness Student Dormitories. The project will replace degraded OM fiber with Single Mode fiber to meet specific system requirements to accommodate the ongoing Verizon Cellular Amplifier project and enhance overall network connectivity.

2. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

2.1. Type of Fiber: All new installations will utilize Single Mode fiber optic cables.

2.2. Cable Configuration: The project includes the deployment of dual 96-strand Single Mode fiber trunks from Building 21.

2.3. Building Connections: Each building will receive 24 Single Mode fibers to support connectivity needs and future expansion.

3. DETAILED WORK REQUIREMENTS

3.1. Industry Standard: Use of high-quality Single Mode fiber optic cables and components compliant with ANSI/TIA/EIA standards.

3.2. Best Practices: Installation must follow industry best practices, ensuring minimal signal loss and optimal network performance.

3.3. Environmental Protection: Implement measures to minimize environmental impact during installation, including proper management of waste and debris.

4. SCOPE OF INSTALLATION

4.1. Conduit Use and Directional Routing:

4.1.1. Clockwise Path: One trunk will extend from Building 21, following a clockwise route to Buildings 19, 28, 78, and 210. This routing strategy is designed to ensure direct connectivity and the elimination of potential points of failure.

4.1.2. Counter-Clockwise Path: The second trunk will extend from Building 21, taking a counter-clockwise route to Buildings 171, 277, 294, and 322. This approach maximizes network coverage and redundancy.

4.1.3. Building Integration: The project emphasizes direct integration of buildings into the fiber network, eliminating reliance on intermediary devices and enhancing network reliability.

4.1.4. Existing Infrastructure: The installation will primarily utilize existing conduit systems and pathways to minimize the need for new construction and ensure efficient project execution.

5. SCHEDULE

5.1. Project commencement and completion dates, along with interim milestones, are to be agreed upon initiation, ensuring minimal disruption to campus operations (8 weeks estimated).

6. STANDARDS AND COMPLIANCE

6.1. Compliance with Standards: Installation will adhere to ANSI/TIA/EIA standards, local building codes, and all applicable safety requirements to ensure the highest quality and safety of the network installation.

6.2. Safety Requirements: Emphasis on strict adherence to safety protocols, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and adherence to all OSHA guidelines.

7. DELIVERABLES

7.1. Installation and Testing Reports: Documentation of the installation process and testing results for each segment of the network.

7.2. Termination: Fiber optic cable termination at all specified points, including Buildings 21, 19, 28, 78, 210, 171, 277, 294, and 322, using LC connectors. Each termination point must be clearly labeled and documented.

7.3. Fiber Route and Termination Points Map: A detailed map showing the proposed routes of the dual 96-strand Single Mode fiber optic trunks emanating from Building 21, including both the clockwise and counter-clockwise paths to the designated buildings, will be provided. This map will also detail the specific termination points within each building, the location of the 24-port patch panels (or the 192-port patch panel in the case of Building 21), and any relevant network infrastructure elements (e.g., existing conduits, manholes).

7.4. Photographic Documentation: As part of the project deliverables, photographic documentation of key stages of the installation process, especially the termination points and any unique construction challenges, will be included. This visual record will support quality control, provide a basis for future troubleshooting, and document compliance with project specifications.

7.5. Project Completion Summary: A final report summarizing the project outcomes, challenges encountered, and recommendations for future network maintenance and expansion.

8. QUALITY ASSURANCE

8.1. The contractor shall adhere to established quality assurance and control measures, ensuring that all fiber optic installations meet the project specifications and industry standards. This includes conducting routine inspections and testing of the fiber optic cables and connections to verify their proper installation and functionality. The aim is to ensure that the work is completed correctly the first time, minimizing the need for rework and ensuring the reliability of the network upon project completion.
