45) Are different color cables to differentiate technologies desired or would j-Hook Tree be adequate?

a) Patch cables should be different color to differentiate technologies but in addition j-Hook tree for network runs would be acceptable.

46) Will a Demarcation extension to MDF space be needed?a) Yes

47) Will LV be pulling camera cables?a) Yes

Addendum 3



The following questions were received after Addendum 2 was issued on November 6, 2019 and relate directly to answers previously provided. They have been reviewed by the Town of Jupiter and answers have been provided below each question.

If additional questions are received a final addendum will be issued on November 15, 2019.

1. Will Plenum or non-plenum CAT 6A Cable be required?

a. Non-plenum

2. Are we going to get new prints showing the changes made on Addendum 2?a. No. Since no quantities, lengths, or materials changed which could not be explained or

represented in text form no new prints will be issued.

Addendum 4



The following questions were received after Addendum 3 was issued on November 7, 2019 and following the non-mandatory pre-bid meeting held at the Town of Jupiter on November 12, 2019. They have been reviewed by the Town of Jupiter and answers have been provided below each question.

1. The Access Control Cabling---Is this under the LV contract or will the cabling be a part of the Access Control RFP?

a. Access Control Cabling will not be a part of the LV bid. It will be included in a separate bid for the Access Control System.

2. Understanding that ALL patch cords will be provided by the successful LV Contractor---The installation of those patch cords will be only in the Data Center space and not the work area space. Is this accurate?

a. Yes. 3. How will the cabinets be arranged in the data center?

a. 2 parallel rows of 5 cabinets each (10 cabinets total) in the center of the room with a single ‘hot aisle’ in the center.

SUMMARY OF SCOPE OF WORK

Main Components

This installation of the following cables and equipment:

Six hundred nine (609) Cat 6A Non Plenum Voice/Data drops

Thirty eight (38) Cat 6A Non Plenum Wireless Access Point Data drops

Forty six (46) Cat 6A Non Plenum CCTV drops

Fifty two (52) Cat 6A Non Plenum Television drops

Twenty six (26) Quad Shield RG6 Coaxial Non Plenum Cable – Television drops

One hundred ten (110) feet – Eaton 24” Overhead Cable Tray w/accessories

One (1) 24 Strand Multimode OM3 Fiber Riser Cable – MDF to IDF

One (1) 6 Strand Multimode OM3 Fiber Riser Cable – IDF to Body Cam Room

Ten (10) Eaton Cabinets w/ Wire Management – (MDF - Data Center)

Two (2) Eaton 4 Post Racks w/ Wire Management (IDF)

One (1) Eaton Wall Mount Cabinet (Body Cam Room)

The typical work area outlet (WAO) will consist of one (1) 2-port faceplate. Each WAO will

be configured with one (1) white jack for voice and one (1) blue jack for data. All data jacks will

be CAT 6 jacks and all voice jacks will be CAT 5e jacks.

Includes labor to terminate all voice, data and video cables in the MDF and IDF and

Body Cam room per the approved plans. All patch panels will be mounted in Eaton cabinets or

Eaton 4 post racks. In addition, the appropriate amount of horizontal wire management and

vertical wire management devices will be mounted in the cabinet systems for the proper

organization of wires and equipment. A series of overhead cable tray will be installed in the

MDF and IDF for the proper routing of cable to the cabinets and backboards. All cabinets and

cable tray will be properly grounded to ground bars in the MDF and IDF. All cables will be

tested and labeled at the jack and the patch panels for easy management by customers IT staff.

Fiber backbone consisting of one 24 strand OM3/10G multimode fiber will be installed

between the MDF and the IDF. In addition, one 6 strand OM3/10G multimode fiber will be

installed from the IDG to a wall mounted cabinet in the Body Cam room.

Additional equipment has been included in the materials section of this document.
