About this file

This is a Request for Variance form and guidance document from the VA Office of Information and Technology's Infrastructure Standards for Telecommunications Spaces v4.0. The specific variance request is from the Amarillo, TX VA Medical Center (Building 7, OI&T Administrative) dated October 24, 2023, seeking to serve Building 07/First Level WAO from the second level Telecommunications Room #208 and omit a new TR on the first level.

The document includes detailed requirements for variance requests, including architectural specifications, equipment details, and submission procedures. The variance process requires documenting why standards cannot be met due to constraints like cost, schedule, or architectural limitations. The problem statement indicates Building 07 is decommissioning an existing Computer Room #208 to serve as the TR for first and second levels, with 43 WAO total on the first level to be served by the second level TR. Supporting floor plans and site diagrams show the telecommunications infrastructure layout, including cable pathways, fiber routes, and equipment locations across multiple buildings at the facility.

c. Other potential locations considered as trade-offs but were deemed unworkable

d. Attach both the building drawing to see the macro view, architecture, and distances and the TR or other space drawing to see the footprint and other spec requirements.

2. Telecommunications Room (TR) or Other Space Architecture (Location):

a. Number of racks and total data drops (WAOs) versus the total number expected to be active (requiring patching to switches, typically approximately 50%)

b. Cable distances to WAO

c. Dimensions of the space, not just square footage. The footprint needs to be understood (primarily with 3 ft clearance around racks on all sides).

d. Other locations considered as trade-offs but were deemed unworkable

e. Attach:

i. Diamond analysis

ii. Building drawing to see the macro view, architecture, horizontal and vertical distances between other TRs and telecommunications spaces, and distances to adjacent water or RFI sources

iii. TR or space drawing to see the footprint and other spec requirements

INFRASTRUCTURE STANDARD FOR TELECOMMUNICATIONS SPACES| A-6

What is a variance?

A variance is an allowable deviation from specific requirements of a published standard where a proposed alternate method of installation or operation will provide equal or higher safety, reliability, redundancy, and sustainability objectives. Alternately, under emergency time-sensitive circumstances a temporary variance may be granted without meeting the criteria above with an actionable plan to bring the project into compliance within a reasonable time frame. They should be submitted only as a last resort after the project and site have exhausted all other alternatives to meet specifications.

What will a variance not do?

A variance will not avoid compliance with the intention of a standard section or rule. A variance is not a method to recover from an installation or design error. A variance will not be granted if the alternate method would reduce the safety or effectiveness of the installation or equipment.

What does a variance cover?

If the variance is granted, it shall be limited to the particular site and installation covered in the application and will NOT be considered as a precedent for other installations.

Who may apply for a variance?

Those responsible for compliance with the standards may apply for a variance.

Who grants a variance?

A variance is granted only by DCIE upon written request through the approved process for submission, tracking, and processing. New variance requests embedded in project designs are not actionable for approval. They still need to go through the process.

How is a variance approved?

DCIE will approve, deny, or ask for clarification from their respective mailboxes. Allow a minimum of two weeks for processing. The return email from the DCIE organizational address is proof of the final decision of the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).

What are the disposition requirements of the determination?

A record of the variance determination email and any supporting attachments should remain with the project and be attached for context to all future design review or variance requests for the site. Retain the determination on file for the site for use in budgeting and initiating projects to upgrade the infrastructure to minimum ISTS specifications at the next technical refresh.:

OI&T (Administrative)

VarianceRequested: Variance to serve Building 07/First Level WAO from the second level Telecommunications Room #208 and omit a new TR on first level.
StandardsInfo: Sheet 5, Detail 1, Telecommunication Room Notes, (OIT) Infrastructure Standard for Telecommunications Spaces, version 3.1.
StandardsText: "THERE SHALL BE A MINIMUM OF ONE TELECOMMUNICATIONS ROOM (TR) PER FLOOR."
ProblemStatement: Building 07 design decommissions and renovates an existing Computer Room #208 to serve as the TR for the first and second levels. The existing computer room now serves at the Main Computer Room. This project is providing a new MCR Building 06. The existing MCR will be decommissioned and configured to act as the second level TR. VA/AE investigated all options for serving the first level and provided multiple options for First Level TR locations. Adding a TR to first level was deemed too disruptive to existing structure due to the

age and architectural layout of the building. There is no existing first level TR space. B07/first level has (43) WAO total. This minimal load will be served by an adequately size TR on the second level (i.e., converted MCR).

EnterDetail: D6/07T-101, F2/07T-101 & F5/07T-102. See attached.
ProposedMethod: Since no other space allocation was approved, and providing a new addition was not viable based on cost and complexity and the low WAO count. VA decided to apply for a variance on this level and use the large existing space that is currently serving as the Main Computer Room, #208. Room #208 will be re-purposed to act as a TR for the First and Second levels.
PlanCompliance: Variance requested to retain design to route all First Level cables to new second level TR #208.
