MAY 2009SOLICITATION FOR OFFERS OUTPATIENT CLINIC SFO NO. VA-101-XX-RP-XXXX[INSERT LOCATION OF FACILITY]Any pipe or duct system foreign to the telecommunications installation shall not enter or passthrough a room. The A/E shall ensure that foreign piping such as water pipes, steam pipes,medical gas pipes, soil pipes, sanitary drains, storm drains, A/C ducts, and other unrelatedsystems utilized for or containing liquids, or gases are not installed or pass through rooms.Sprinkler piping serving only telecommunications spaces shall not be considered foreign to thetelecommunications installation, and shall not pass through the space to serve other areas.Rooms shall be located away from or protected from sources of EMI at a distance which willreduce the interference to less than 3.0V/M through the frequency spectrum. Pay specialattention to EMI from electrical power supplies, transformers, motors, generators, x-rayequipment, radio transmitters, and induction heating devices.Rooms shall be located to minimize effects of lightning strikes and sunlight radiant heating.Rooms shall not have windows.Rooms that are considered computer rooms should not be located on exterior walls.Rooms shall have a controlled access door with card reader to control access to authorizedpersonnel.(3) Room EnvelopeFinish flooring shall be anti-static plastic laminate or vinyl tile. The acceptable resistancerange is from 0.5 megohm minimum to 20,000 megohm maximum.Floors, walls and ceilings shall be sealed to prevent dust, and all walls shall be painted a lightcolor.Backboards shall be ¾" fire-retardant plywood.(4) Heating, Ventilation, and Air ConditioningDesign conditions shall be 75 ˚F [24 ˚C] dry bulb temperature (cooling), 65 ˚F [18 ˚C] dry bulbtemperature (heating), with individual room temperature control.(5) PowerPower for all rooms and equipment shall be connected to the appropriate branch of theEssential Electrical System. Equipment shall be backed by an uninterruptible power supply(UPS), except HVAC equipment. Provide 120V 20A and 30A capacity, and 220/208V 20/30Acapability as required. Match receptacles types with equipment provided and installed by VAOffice of Information and Technology (OI&T).(6) GroundingTelecommunications systems grounding and bonding will consist, at a minimum, of anequipotential grounding system (Telecommunications Bonding Backbone (TBB)) thatoriginates from the Telecommunications Main Ground Bar (TMGB). The TMGB (typicallylocated in the Telephone Equipment Room) is then connected to other telecommunicationsspaces (independently from other building grounding systems such as electrical or lightningprotection) via the TBB. The TMGB is connected to the building electrical service ground pointvia a mechanically and electrically protected minimum #1/0 copper equipotential groundingconductor, and to building steel. The TBB helps ensure that all equipment in thetelecommunications spaces is referenced at the same equipotential earth ground level, andreduces high frequency electrical noise resulting from high speed digital switching, RFI, andEMI. Cabinet, rack and fixed structures bonding conductor(s) shall be minimum #6 AWG-Part I: Basic Solicitation Requirements – Page 134 of 196Lessor __________ Gov’t. ____________________ of __________ Pages
