Walk-Through Observations & Logistics
| Topic |
| Discussion / Action Taken |
| Project Scope |
| Reviewed requirements for furniture removal, relocation, and installation. |
| Electrical & IT |
| Determined that electrical and IT cables will be terminated above the ceiling grid. Confirmed that new IT cables will be pulled from the communications closet and verified all cable specifications on the new furniture system. |
| Logistics & Disposal |
| Walked the loading dock area to plan product delivery and removal of furniture. Established locations for metal recycling and a 20ft trash container. |
| Safety & Egress |
| Reviewed the temporary wall location. Upgraded the design from one door to two doors to support emergency egress and removed the card entry requirement for these doors as specified by J9 representatives. |
| Pending Decision |
| It remains to be determined whether the old cables will be abandoned in place above the ceiling grid or if DG432 will recover and dispose of them. |
Contractor Q&A & Coordination
| Conference Room Q&A |
| Held a post-walk-through session for contractor questions. Notably, two of the four teams present had previously provided information during market research. |
| J9 Integration |
| Steve Hein (J9 Facilities) and Bryan Brannam (J9 Safety) participated in both the walk-through and Q&A. They provided crucial guidance on facility limitations, ensuring synchronization between the contractors and J9 requirements. |
| Conclusion |
| Contractors were successfully escorted out after the Q&A. The overall engagement was highly positive. |
Temporary Seating Courses of Action (COAs)
| Personnel Group |
| Relocation Plan |
| Status / Notes / Setup |
| Civilians (5) |
| Moving internally to a non-Global J9 space equipped with existing desks and pre-installed Green/Red cables. |
| Approved. Exceptional support was provided by Steve Hein to secure this space. Workstation setup can be completed by onsite personnel; however, if DG432 is present to support the equipment storage, they can also perform the setup in this temporary location. |
| Contractors |
| Moving to occupy seats within the SCIF. |
| Approved. The Site Lead and Global Contract Lead confirmed all mission requirements can be accomplished with this arrangement. |
IT Equipment Removal Plan
| Equipment Scope |
| Approximately 300 monitors, keyboards, mice with, KVMs, Thin Clients, SIPR and NIPR computers, USB cables, and power cables. |
| Objective |
| Clear the project area of all IT equipment so the existing furniture can be disassembled and removed. |
| Storage Strategy |
| A concrete plan for the storage location and packing method was established. |
| Pending Decision |
| It remains undetermined whether onsite employees will execute the IT removal/storage or if DG432 will deploy a team to complete IT equipment removal and storage (similar to the DG Hill furniture project). Note: If DG432 deploys to complete IT equipment removal and storage, they are also authorized to set up the temporary civilian workstations and may handle the old cable recovery/disposal. |
