2. Contract or Task Order Title. Cable Tray Support System Replacement

3. Background.

Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Computing Centers provide routine and mission-critical computer processing resources and support to numerous Government agencies, 24 hours per day, and seven days a week.

DISA’s operational goal is to provide high availability and redundancy to all supported programs and workloads at a Tier III redundant datacenter. The San Antonio Data Center requires an overhead suspension of the Information Technology (IT) Cable Tray in Computer Room 1 (CR1). The existing cable tray is currently supported by stanchions bolted to the raised access floor panels blocking space for IT server racks and does not meet the Department of Defense (DoD) standards of having overhead suspended cable tray.

4. Objectives.

This project will replace the existing floor mounted support stanchions with braced overheard suspension system to suspend the IT Cable Tray in Computer Room 1 (CR1) from the interior roof structure above the IT racks to meet the requirement of DoD Core Data Center (CDC) reference architecture and engineering standards.

5. Scope. Replace the existing floor mounted support stanchions with the installation of a braced overheard suspension support system connected from the interior roof truss structure down through the drywall ceiling and suspended ceiling panels to support the existing cable tray in CR1 (Building 200, Room 141). The existing cable tray location is shown on the floor plan layout drawing at Appendix A. The project will require temporary removal of suspended ceiling panels, opening access holes in the ceiling drywall board, installation of overheard suspension system from the roof truss structure to support the existing cable trays, repair ceiling board and re-installing the suspended ceiling panels. The existing cable tray shall be kept in-place to maintain data center operations. Work shall include all equipment, supplies, connections, quality control and warranty.

5.1. Task 1: Project Management. Develop detailed project schedule, investigate existing conditions, conduct weekly project status meetings, prepare and submit shop drawings and product data for approval by the Government. Prepare and submit phased installation plan for placing braced overheard suspension system and connecting the existing cable tray. Schedule project meetings and record meeting minutes, maintain a clean work area, provide notification of hazardous conditions, and follow applicable Standards and Guidelines as listed within this PWS.

5.2. Task 2: Suspension System Installation. Install the braced overheard suspension system in CR1 from the interior roof truss structure to connect to the existing cable tray. Repair ceiling board and re-installing the suspended ceiling panels. Clean the area and floor during installation work.
