ANSWER: Patch and paint 40ft wall that contains fiber cable in conduit (4in horizontal strip).
The old conduit and cable need to be removed.
Q5. Moving the existing equipment will require down-time. Will the government allow this work during low-traffic times (off-duty hours) such as nights or weekends?
ANSWER: Prefer normal duty hours, M-F, 0730 – 1630. Currently, the traffic is low due to teleworking guidance.

ANSWER: Reuse the same lock boxes. New boxes need to be installed on the second floor.

ANSWER: Will reuse the same MPOE from 3rd floor to room 204.
