Q1: What infrastructure needs to be removed?

A1: Existing infrastructure for classified networks within the JOG-E space needs to be removed and re-run per the IDP. Existing distribution systems above the false ceiling can be re-used.

Q2: Is there a raised floor available in any of the spaces for running of infrastructure?

Q3: Will the spaces be occupied during the installation?

A3: Some of the spaces will be occupied. Rooms 406A, 407, 408, and 412 will be occupied. The preferred installation plan would be to complete the installation in the other spaces first, transition personnel to those spaces, then complete 406A, 407, 408, and 412.

Q4: Do all workers on the contract need a TS/SCI clearance?

Q8: Should the contractor patch and re-paint the walls after removing old infrastructure?
