Renovation of an educational facility in Adrian, Michigan. Completed plans call for the renovation of a educational facility.

The Lenawee Intermediate School District (LISD) located in Adrian, Michigan seeks proposals from qualified vendors for the provision and installation (unless otherwise specified), of one hundred and three (103) wireless internet access points, mounting hardware and related network cabling necessary for the operation of the wireless internet access points and LISD wireless internet network. The selected respondent(s) will provide the LISD with all necessary goods and services to implement the LISD's 2022 Wireless Internet Access Point Upgrades project in accordance with the Contract Documents, which include the Project Drawings and Details, which are incorporated into this RFP and made part of this RFP by this reference. All goods and service must conform to the requirements of the specifications unless an exception is noted in writing and such is agreed upon and accepted by the LISD in writing. The selected respondent will be responsible for completing all necessary plan reviews, if any, with the applicable governmental jurisdiction(s) and for obtaining all necessary permits, licenses, or other permissions necessary to perform the work in accordance with Michigan law, rules, and regulations. Software Licenses Respondents must provide pricing for a five-year license to any and all software and/or webbased applications that are required for operation and/or performance of the systems included in the respondent's proposal. Detailed specifications about each software/application program must be included with respondent's proposal, including why the software/application is necessary and how it relates to the applicable system components. The scope of the project includes: Network Cabling o Cabling and connections must be consistent with exiting data cabling and terminations. o The UTP and STP wiring, jacks, patch cables, and patch panels shall be Category 6 plenum rated throughout the entire installation (NO Substitutions allowed without documented written approval). o All cables being run for horizontal distribution within the plenum areas must be bundled together with cable ties every 6 feet, and supported by cable trays, and/or structures attached directly to the building structure/upper decking in the plenum areas or crawl spaces. o Where cable trays and conduit are not provided, wiring shall be attached and supported to upper decking by way of J-hooks or bent steel rods installed between decking grooves, or comparable support devices, attached directly to the existing building structure decking or like framework. o Wiring will not be supported by ceilings, ceiling hangers, or to existing electrical, plumbing, or air ventilation structures or to existing conduit. o No single Cat6 run shall exceed 100 meters. o Use provided sleeves for all firewall and/or floor interconnects. Seal all wall penetrations with Fire Stop red caulk (MetaCaulk 1000) or other pre-approved fire stop installation. o Wiring must be routed so that it does not interfere with access to panels, switches, valves or other maintenance systems. o The punch down jacks and punch down patch panel cross connects shall be designed so installer will always punch down the cable pairs according to EIA/TIA 568B specifications. o TWISTED PAIRS MUST REMAIN TWISTED TO WITHIN 1/4" OF CONNECTOR. This is required for high-speed data networks. o Wiring will not be installed near fluorescent lighting, high-voltage sources, electrical motors, or other sources of interference. Recommended distances for UTP cabling shall be at least 1 ft. for florescent lighting (unshielded), and 3 ft. for transformers or motors (unshielded). o If STP cabling is required, vendor must request in writing to owner. o Splices within cable runs are not acceptable because it may compromise the integrity of the wiring for high-speed data transmission. o Contractors must adhere to manufacturers requirements for bending radius and pulling tensions for all cable runs. o All conduits must have bushings at the end of the conduit to prevent cable jacket tears. o Where cable is being run from one conduit to another, the cable vendor must ensure that twists do not occur during the cable installations as this can cause kinking and tangling of the cabling within the cable run. o After installation is complete, any debris resulting from cable installation must be removed, with the area left as clean as before the installation started. Exterior installs o Any installs in exterior areas needs to be terminated with a keystone inside the building and provided an outdoor rated patch cable to the exterior device. o Any penetrations need to be sleaved and sealed with appropriate caulk. Raceway o The Contractor shall furnish and install; white, metal raceway, wire mold brand cable pathways, mechanically affixed. Patch Panel/Cables o The wiring components shall consist of jacks, faceplates, wire and all accessories required to properly install the wiring and devices. o Faceplates, jacks, keystones should be of the brand Leviton, unless another brand is approved by owner in writing. o Wiring will be labeled on both ends of the outlet, 3 inches back from punch down panel, and 3 inches back from the face plate punch down. o Labels for all UTP wiring shall be white, self-laminating, adhesive labels. o EXAMPLE: 01-C-27 (RACK 01 - SHELF C - PORT 27) o Cable contractor identification tags shall be attached above conduit stub-up, and at each end of every UTP installation. Cable Certification Tests and Labeling o UTP cable certification must be performed with a Fluke DTX1800 tester or equivalent o Tests results shall be identified by the corresponding labeled Cable ID and must include wire map, resistance, length, propagation delay, impedance, return loss, attenuation, and crosstalk.
