General Provisions and Terms
1.0 General
1.1 Austin Independent School District will require the equipment, cable, and installation of a backbone Ethernet 10BaseT computer network for Highland Park Elementary School.
1.2 This bid will provide a list of equipment needed but the bidder is responsible for submitting a response that comprises a working solution. Bidders Conference will be held at the Highland Park Elementary School, 4900 Fairview Drive, Austin, Texas on Wednesday, February 10, 1993 at 10:00 a.m.
1.3 The bid shall include:
- All components necessary for the installation of a 10BaseT Ethernet network in a star topology which shall be available in all classrooms, laboratories, library, and administrative offices in Highland Park Elementary School. Equipment must conform to IEEE 802.3, OSI 8203, Ethernet specifications using twisted pair cabling (10BaseT).
- The equipment shall include:
(2) central hubs consisting of multi-function 802.3/Ethernet backplane and associated components with full mounting hardware capable of supporting a total of 50 face-plates and 112 taps (expandable to 200 taps). The two central hubs, to be located in the Highland Park A/V Closet and CATV Closet, are to be interconnected using industry standard 62.5/125 multimode fiber optic cable. The fiber will terminate into a fiber Ethernet bridge in each of the hubs. The hubs must be configured with a bridge to permit 10BaseT repeaters (commonly referred to as hublets or 10BaseT hubs) to be used in classrooms without violating the IEEE 802.3 repeater limit rules.
(6) modular face-plates and (44) modular office wallboxes (see Attachment B), each of which can accommodate up to four 10BaseT MJ8 plugs.
(112) 10BaseT taps to accommodate 112 MJ8 plugs
(50) 8-pin Mud Plug cables 10 feet in length.
- Category 5 un-shielded twisted pair cabling in sufficient quantity to install four (4) 10BaseT circuits between each of 44 offices and classrooms and a central hub, and (24) 10BaseT circuits between the Media Center and a central hub. Category 5 un-shielded twisted pair wiring is capable of 100Mbps operation with networks such as FDDI.
- Industry standard 62.5/125 multimode fiber optic cable to interconnect the two network hubs.
- Installation of all cabling and network equipment components, connection of same and verification of proper operation.
- On-site equipment training for personnel (up to 8 persons, 12 hours each) specified by the Principal. Follow-up training as needed, and at least one review session prior to August 31, 1993. On-call assistance must be available and specified.
1.4 In all 44 classrooms and offices, only two 10BaseT taps in each faceplate are to be enabled in the initial implementation. In the Media Center (all) twenty four 10BaseT taps are to be enabled.
1.5 The central hub equipment must be capable of supporting all 112 enabled circuits and plugs, and the central hub enclosures must accommodate expansion equipment necessary to activate all 200 circuits and 200 MJ8 plugs.
1.6 All wiring and fiber must be compliant with the EIA/TIA-568 Commercial Building Wiring Standard.
1.7 It is understood that failure to mention any work which would normally be required to complete the installation shall not relieve the vendor of his responsibility to complete all tasks.
1.8 Your bid must follow the attached format to enable us to fully and fairly evaluate all of the bids received.
2.0 Scope of Work and Bids
2.1 The bidder shall furnish and price into the bid all supervision, labor, materials, tools, supplies, and services for the installation of all equipment and cabling. Work shall commence upon receipt of the purchase order and be completed 15 working days later.
