Scope of work:
must be able to pass background and drug test
Coordinate installation dates and blackout dates with specified OM/FM. Crews
should avoid work on Saturdays and leave the building in a usable state for the
weekend.
Ensure locations are clean and secure at the end of each day on site.
Install ¾” plywood on the wall when necessary for the rack location.
Cable installation – provide Cat6A cable for each Access Point (AP) (plenum-rated
where necessary).
Provide and install additional Cat6A cables for equipment (ISP hardware to firewall,
AV rack, Chapel camera, door control system, HVAC) locations (generally five (5)
cables).
*Additional cables may be authorized for VoIP phones for business operations in a
meetinghouse (Seminary, Mission Office, FM Office).
If there is no camera installed in the rear of the chapel, run the new line to the side
closest to the switch. Provide the termination box and patch cord for future camera
install.
Install cable support for all new cable runs.
Network equipment – Install owner-provided network equipment and APs IAW the
provided instruction guide. Firewall needs to be on a shelf and not other network
equipment.
Approved locations for an additional managed switch: AV rack, an official Family
History Library designated on the property list provided by the church, a location
where the number of APs and approved building systems consumes more than 20
ports on the core switch.
Install APs as shown on the Church-provided heatmaps (generally within 3 feet of the
prescribed location and in the room specified). Variations of the building will exist,
and reasonable decisions on locations should be made to reflect the modelled
environment.
Where necessary, provide and install a wall-mounted rack (open face when located
in a secure location or lockable when in an accessible space). If the network
equipment is not in an ideal location it should be moved to more suitable space (air
conditioned, dust free, in compliance with code, etc) Rack locations should be
coordinated with the FM and may be co-located with the AV rack if requested by the
FM.
Inform the FM if the ISP equipment needs to be relocated because of the new rack
location.
Provide and install new modular CAT 6A patch panels and patch cords for horizontal
cabling.
Where it can be accommodated, provide and install a CAT 6 patch panel for existing
cables that can reach the rack location.
Demolition – Remove and demo the existing network equipment (firewall, Switch,
unmanaged hubs, APs) from the meetinghouse for Vendor to recycle. Remove all
Meraki devices with an announced EOS date. Replace switches only in authorized
situations listed above.
Relocate existing cables into the new CAT 6 patch panel. (Any existing cables that do
not reach the patch panel will not be repulled and should be removed if it will not
damage other building systems or infrastructure)
Install blank faceplates in locations that have network cables removed.
Termination and Patch Cords – Terminate AP cabling with Cat6A jack, surface mount
box, and patch cord into the AP.
Provide and install new patch cords for all new wireless and connected network
locations specified above.
Label the Patch Panel with logical labels not just patch numbers. Update port labels
in CNM for the devices connected to the switch.
Repair any holes in the ceiling from removing old APs or hardware. If the holes are
too large to fill, cover them with an escutcheon plate.
Surface mount wire track is acceptable as a last resort when other cable paths are
not viable, AND with FM/OM approval. Lack of agreement on the way forward should
be escalated to the HQ Project team.
Testing and documentation – Perform Cat6A ANSI/TIA-568-C testing with screen
capture of results. Cable certification is for newly installed cabling.
Obtain and provide the cable manufacturer's certificate of warranty.
Perform wireless site surveys for each location.
Upload deliverables to CNM for each site.
Before leaving a site validate that the HVAC, Door Control system, and A/V system
function. (Consult Church provided AV resources for any AV system questions)
