Answer:
Are the 4 new racks and switches for the new IDF\'s going in the lower & upper Elementary Schools additions?

Yes, 4 racks and 3 switches.

Where will these be located? They were not shown on the drawing handed out on the walk through.

Not sure because of the lack of details as it’s still a bond proposal. Possibly two in the Upper and two in the Lower Elementary buildings.

What fiber/copper backbone requirements are needed between the new IDF\'s and existing MDF?

We will need to two new fiber runs from the existing MDF to the new IDF’s

Can you verify that non-plenum cable is acceptable in all locations? Non-plenum was requested during the walk through.

As the design details are minimal because of the proposal status, we cannot explicitly confirm specifics. We would like you to bid non-plenum.
