The District requires the services of network and telecom data cabling contractors experienced with the installation, termination, and service of data closet infrastructure, Cat5e / Cat6 / Cat6a / Cat7 / fibre optic network cabling, District provided wireless access points, and accurate supporting documentation (as-builts, cable scans, etc...) in institutional buildings. The successful respondents will be eligible to provide data cabling services for new school construction, addition or renovation projects.

The District is standardizing on the Panduit format; however, a number of sites exist with the Nordx format. No other formats would be considered throughout the District.

In the cases of new school construction or school additions projects, prequalified cabling contractors would be eligible to work as subcontractors to the general contractor.
