Specifications include, but are not limited to: This bid is for video services supporting both the Lakefront (main) campus and East campus. The University of New Orleans currently contracts with a local cable TV provider for the purpose of providing entertainment and educational video programming to approximately 120 student housing units, roughly 40 connections in “student use” buildings and additional limited distribution to various academic and administrative departments and organizations. All underground infrastructure including but not limited to, backbone cabling, electronics and equipment racks in support of underground infrastructure, will be provided by the vendor. The cost of the installing and supporting underground and riser infrastructure must be included in the contracted monthly rate for both bulk and expanded channel packages. Overhead lines or visible exterior structures attached to campus buildings or school grounds will not be allowed (e.g. satellite dishes, antenna towers, etc.). Vendor must use existing demarks and distribution enclosures. The concrete encased underground conduits ensure that our communications infrastructure remains protected from seasonal storms and limits the number of additional exterior structures that can become flying debris during storms. Vendor must comply with EIA/TIA Standards* and OSHA requirements with respect to the routing of underground cable within MH entrances, confined spaces, proper backbone cable-riser relative to pathways, plenum rated cable where applicable. All cables must be identified using cable tags. Should the vendor require the services of a sub-contractor to complete an installation or perform maintenance, the vendor must notify and obtain the permission of the University prior to allowing the sub-contractor to start any work. The vendor will be responsible for all work performed by the sub-contractor
