Where all tests conducted according to the preceding schedule are satisfactory the installation
shall be accepted as complete. Where any item fails to meet specification, the identified defect
shall be remedied and the cable link retested.
DOCUMENTATION
The Contractor shall update all relevant site records and specification documentation, and shall
provide the following documentation, bound, indexed and suitably presented for each site:
Site plan showing the physical location and designation of each cable route, cable ducts and
cable trays ("as built" drawings);
Floor / building layout showing all IO outlet locations, numbering, rack and frame information;
Cable run list showing “A” and “B” end location of each cable room-wise;
Complete set of all test results. These may be presented electronically if there are a large number
of test results. Each set of results shall be clearly identified by the relevant cable run or outlet
designation;
Where cabling is found to be faulty during acceptance testing, the results of both the original
(failed) tests and the final results shall be supplied. Each set shall be clearly identified as the
results before or after corrective work was undertaken;
Documentation of all cabling components used, including manufacturer's part number;
Site certification documentation;
Fault identification and resolution procedures.
Documentation and drawings shall be prepared using a suitable computer drafting program.
3. The cable laying should be done in PVC conduits (round/flat) of appropriate size. The supplier
shall be responsible for laying the actual length of cable as per site plans to be got approved from
the purchaser. The payment for the laying shall be as per the actual length used/laid. If any minor
civil works like boring/ making holes in the walls etc are required to be done, the same shall be
carried out by the supplier without any extra cost.
4. Where the length of cable exceeds 1 metre within a building, the same will be housed in a PVC
conduit. The conduit must be laid along the wall/roof so as to give an aesthetic look. If the cable
has to cross the floor it shall be housed in a GI/PVC pipe and the pipe shall be beneath the floor.
5. Where the cables are to be laid through open ground including the public road etc, these shall be
protected by housing the same in GI pipe embedded at a depth of not less than ½ metre below
the ground surface with a brick lining underneath the same.
6. The pit/pathway of the cable shall be documented & drawing handed over to purchaser for future
maintenance.
7. The joints in the cables are not permitted.
8. The cable terminating/entering from the ceilings/ground shall be properly sealed so that ants,
rodents, water etc can not damage it.
9. Compatibility with the present LANs at BBMB offices is a must.
10. After laying cable, the trenches shall be filled up & recarpetted (premix carpeting of the
roads) by the supplier.
11. The excavation work may involve various soil conditions such as soft soil, hard soil etc. But for
the purpose of this contract there will be only one classification of soil i.e ordinary soil only.
12. The RCC/Steel route indicator should be fixed for the OFC cable being laid underground outside
the building at about 100/200 metres or say at each gap point/turns in the pipe line during laying.
13. Before the work is started, ‘Caution-cum-information’ sign/board shall be positioned by
the bidder where digging is planned.
14. During the laying of OFC, the firm should take preventive steps to ensure that no accidents take
place & no other cable is damaged. The bidder shall be responsible for payment of compensation
amount to the departments/local bodies concerned for any accident that is caused.
