| Question |
The Statement of Work requires removal of all existing Cat-3/Cat-5 premise wiring and installation of new Cat-6 wiring. Can the Government clarify whether the intent is for the contractor to (a) complete demolition of existing cabling prior to installing new Cat-6, or (b) install and certify the new Cat-6 cabling in parallel, transition users over, and then remove the existing cabling? We want to confirm whether maintaining uninterrupted service during the cutover is a requirement of the project.
Answer:
All existing CAT 3/5 premise wiring can be removed, then new CAT6 cabling can be installed. The old cabling can be utilized as a pull cord in certain areas. Maintaining uninterrupted service is not a requirement, however all means should be taken to reduce the down time as much as possible.
