1. The 270000 specs state that there is reconnecting of existing fiber optic cable. If so, where is this and how many strands are involved?

This will run underground through the conduit that will be installed under this contract.

Termination points will be in a 19” rack mounted fiber optic termination panel. One in the supplied rack in the basement of BLDG # 2005 and the other end in BLDG # 2212.

There are two buildings… BLDG #2005 (the larger of the two AND the OPTION item2) and BLGG #2212 (the smaller of the two and BASE Bid Option). Bldg. #2005 needs three 48-port patch panels and Bldg #2212 needs one 48-port patch panel and one 24-port patch panel.
