Additionally, the Contractor shall enter into all communication "containers", to include communication Vaults, Maintenance-Holes (MH), Hand-Holes (HH), and Pedestals in order to record/document detailed container information by means of field drawings. Outside plant features/containers include vaults, maintenance-holes, hand-holes, pedestals, underground cables, direct buried splices, terminals, etc. The communications pathways include duct routes, aerial and direct-buried cable, trench routes, communication pathway entry points on building exterior walls that lead to interior building entry terminals, etc. The Installer shall augment the GPS survey by using conventional land surveying equipment and electronic cable locating (underground utility toning) equipment to meet requirements. The Installer shall ensure collected/provided data is compatible with the

CVC. (CDRL A001)

NOTE: Installer(s) shall coordinate with the 96 CS/SCOW office through and Request for Information (RFI) to ensure they have the latest data dictionary before accomplishing any project GIS actions.

2.2.22.1. Entities, Attributes, and Domain Values for Recording Required Communication Feature Data
