These jack numbers correspond to work specified in Base Bid Item 1 of this Statement of Work and are used in this paragraph to specify location only. These 7 new jacks shall be labeled from C1-C7. If required, upgrade boxes from single to double gang. All new cable runs shall terminate at a 24 port patch panel acquired by the contractor, in the new equipment cabinet as shown on Attachment #1. Install patch cables from the panel to the network switch. The network switch shall be relocated to the cabinet in the ER. These Cat6 cables shall be green in color. There is a fiber patch panel in the Visitor Center attic which connects fiber to the network switch via an SFP port. This line enters the visitor center from a different location as the line above and shall be re-routed to the ER by running fiber from this patch panel directly to the SFP port on the switch. It is not necessary to use a fiber patch panel. Use a single pair cable. The existing fiber is 62.5 micrometer and using SC connectors at the existing patch panel. LC connectors shall be used at the switch. 5.1.2.3 Install Two New Cameras on the Dam Install two (2) new Vivotek SD8363E IP cameras on the operations tower of the dam. These should be placed at the top of the tower, accessible by a roof hatch/ladder. Cameras should be mounted on the east and west side, to allow viewing upstream and downstream of the dam. Fall protection is not required on the roof as long as workers stay within the roof parapet. Cameras may be installed on the top of the parapet but should overhang as to get an image straight down. The government will approve the location of the cameras prior to installation. Cat6 cables may be run in unused conduit extending through the parapet and shall terminate to the 8 port Cisco switch mounted adjacent to the elevator in Level 6. This is approximately a 100 foot run. Use outdoor/wet rated cables. This switch is already connected to the network by a fiber optic cable.
