Formare Technica, Ltd. LAN - WAN - PBX - STRUCTURED CABLING - CUSTOMER OWNED OSP - AUDIO/VIDEO Background To understand what is “Division 17”, you must first understand: What is CSI ?

Formare Technica, Ltd. LAN - WAN - PBX - STRUCTURED CABLING - CUSTOMER OWNED OSP - AUDIO/VIDEO What is CSI ? PMI = Project Management

Formare Technica, Ltd. LAN - WAN - PBX - STRUCTURED CABLING - CUSTOMER OWNED OSP - AUDIO/VIDEO What is CSI ? CSI = Architecture

Formare Technica, Ltd. LAN - WAN - PBX - STRUCTURED CABLING - CUSTOMER OWNED OSP - AUDIO/VIDEO Background CSI - Construction Specifications Institute One of the documents that CSI produces, jointly with CSC - Construction Specifications Canada is the: MasterFormat™

Formare Technica, Ltd. LAN - WAN - PBX - STRUCTURED CABLING - CUSTOMER OWNED OSP - AUDIO/VIDEO Background The MasterFormat consist of the following: Front End - Intro, Bid Forms, Conditions, Etc. Division 1 - General Requirements Division 2 - Site Construction Division 3 - Concrete Division 4 - Masonry Division 5 - Metals Division 6 - Woods and Plastics Division 7 - Thermal and Moisture Protection

Formare Technica, Ltd. LAN - WAN - PBX - STRUCTURED CABLING - CUSTOMER OWNED OSP - AUDIO/VIDEO Background Division 8 - Doors and Windows Division 9 - Finishes Division 10 - Specialties Division 11 - Equipment Division 12 - Furnishings Division 13 - Special Construction Division 14 - Conveying Systems Division 15 - Mechanical Division 16 - Electrical

Formare Technica, Ltd. LAN - WAN - PBX - STRUCTURED CABLING - CUSTOMER OWNED OSP - AUDIO/VIDEO Background Architects use this MasterFormat to organize the requirements for a new building or renovation Here is how the process works…

Formare Technica, Ltd. LAN - WAN - PBX - STRUCTURED CABLING - CUSTOMER OWNED OSP - AUDIO/VIDEO Process First a customer identifies a need

Formare Technica, Ltd. LAN - WAN - PBX - STRUCTURED CABLING - CUSTOMER OWNED OSP - AUDIO/VIDEO Process Who then hires a design professional often an Architect

Formare Technica, Ltd. LAN - WAN - PBX - STRUCTURED CABLING - CUSTOMER OWNED OSP - AUDIO/VIDEO Process Architect will complete the drawings and written specifications

Formare Technica, Ltd. LAN - WAN - PBX - STRUCTURED CABLING - CUSTOMER OWNED OSP - AUDIO/VIDEO Process Bids are received and the contract(s) is awarded to the successful bidder(s) and construction begins

Formare Technica, Ltd. LAN - WAN - PBX - STRUCTURED CABLING - CUSTOMER OWNED OSP - AUDIO/VIDEO Process This is typically about the time when it becomes obvious that technology has not been effectively addressed during the design process – (Pre 2/28/2002)

Formare Technica, Ltd. LAN - WAN - PBX - STRUCTURED CABLING - CUSTOMER OWNED OSP - AUDIO/VIDEO Process The main construction project is completed and the contractors turn over the record copy drawings and manuals to the O&M group Meanwhile, the technology systems managers wade through what they were given and often need to continue to rework, enhance or otherwise modify the results

Formare Technica, Ltd. Process One reason why technology requirements are not included in the main construction project is because: Technology is not adequately included in the current model used by the Architects to organize the requirements of a building

Formare Technica, Ltd. LAN - WAN - PBX - STRUCTURED CABLING - CUSTOMER OWNED OSP - AUDIO/VIDEO Process Currently, the construction industry places the Technology and Communications requirements at the tail end of Division 16 - Electrical Requirements Not only are 2 pages insufficient, the location fosters the perception that telecommunications industry is a subset of the the electrical industry and therefore also a subcontractor

LAN - WAN - PBX - STRUCTURED CABLING - CUSTOMER OWNED OSP - AUDIO/VIDEO Current Model Communications 710 Communication Circuits 720 Telephone and Intercommunication Equipment 740 Communication and Data Processing Equipment 770 Cable Transmission and Reception Equipment 780 Broadcast Transmission and Reception Equipment 790 Microwave Transmission and Reception Equipment

Formare Technica, Ltd. LAN - WAN - PBX - STRUCTURED CABLING - CUSTOMER OWNED OSP - AUDIO/VIDEO Current Model A second reason that the telecommunication design is not in sync with the formal design process is because there is often a separate RFP for the telecommunication requirements which places the design responsibility on the contractor who does not start a detailed design process until after winning the bid

Formare Technica, Ltd. LAN - WAN - PBX - STRUCTURED CABLING - CUSTOMER OWNED OSP - AUDIO/VIDEO Why Division 17 This results in construction project designs that go out to bid with little or no coordination for technology other than a few outlet boxes and conduit stubs or a note to “coordinate in field with owner”

Formare Technica, Ltd. LAN - WAN - PBX - STRUCTURED CABLING - CUSTOMER OWNED OSP - AUDIO/VIDEO Why Division 17 These two reasons explain why there is often: no space allocated in the building for Technology no money in the capital budget for the required Technology Infrastructure And typically not much time left to resolve the issues

Formare Technica, Ltd. LAN - WAN - PBX - STRUCTURED CABLING - CUSTOMER OWNED OSP - AUDIO/VIDEO Reasons The reasons for this go back to the FCC break up of Bell System BIC’s Engineers and REA Practices were the resources architects depended on to provide requirements for telephone service inside a building With the break up, the services that these BIC engineers had traditionally provided became the responsibility of the building owners

Formare Technica, Ltd. LAN - WAN - PBX - STRUCTURED CABLING - CUSTOMER OWNED OSP - AUDIO/VIDEO Reasons BICSI was formed to help address this issue Formal communication with the A/E/C design professionals has typically been limited to a particular system, if at all (AT&T – IBM)

Formare Technica, Ltd. LAN - WAN - PBX - STRUCTURED CABLING - CUSTOMER OWNED OSP - AUDIO/VIDEO Division 17 It has now become clear that we need to add a “T” to the AMEP design process Some have called it the “4th utility” The goal has been to establish an effective and comprehensive model that can be used to plan, build and also manage technology infrastructures in a manner consistent with the design industry

Formare Technica, Ltd. LAN - WAN - PBX - STRUCTURED CABLING - CUSTOMER OWNED OSP - AUDIO/VIDEO Division 17 Division 17 is this model It can be used to organize a comprehensive set of performance specifications, cost estimates and series of Technology drawings Division 17 can completely manage a stand alone technology project or serve as an integrated component of a complete building/project design

Formare Technica, Ltd. LAN - WAN - PBX - STRUCTURED CABLING - CUSTOMER OWNED OSP - AUDIO/VIDEO Division 17 - Specifications A performance specification specifies the minimum quality requirements for how a product shall be manufactured and installed CSI SectionFormat consists of 3 Parts PART 1 - GENERAL - administrative PART 2 - PRODUCTS - materials PART 3 - EXECUTION - installation

Formare Technica, Ltd. LAN - WAN - PBX - STRUCTURED CABLING - CUSTOMER OWNED OSP - AUDIO/VIDEO Division 17 - Specifications PageFormat PART 1- GENERAL 1.1 WORK INCLUDED A.Provide all labor, materials, tools, and equipment required for the complete installation of work called for in the Contract Documents PART 2 - PRODUCTS 2.1 FLOOR MOUNTED RACKS A.Racks shall meet the following physical specifications: 1. 19” rack mounting space foot high. PART 3- EXECUTION 3.1 FLOOR MOUNTED RACKS A.All racks shall be anchored to the floor. B.Provide vertical and horizontal cable management in the front and back.

Formare Technica, Ltd. LAN - WAN - PBX - STRUCTURED CABLING - CUSTOMER OWNED OSP - AUDIO/VIDEO Division 17 - Specifications The Division 17 Organizational Model provides the framework for preparing the specifications, but it is not the source The origin of specifications arose from drawing notes that became too numerous to fit on a drawing and have evolved into the Project Manuals present today

Formare Technica, Ltd. LAN - WAN - PBX - STRUCTURED CABLING - CUSTOMER OWNED OSP - AUDIO/VIDEO “T” Series Drawings To prepare these drawings, the technology industry must be able to obtain accurate base files (floor plans) to prepare a set of “Technology” Drawings to plan and communicate the technology requirements with clients and other design professionals The following is a summary of the types of drawings that should be created:

Formare Technica, Ltd. LAN - WAN - PBX - STRUCTURED CABLING - CUSTOMER OWNED OSP - AUDIO/VIDEO “T” Series Drawings T0 – Campus or Site Plans Exterior Pathways and Inter-Building Backbones T1 – Layout of complete building per floor Serving Zone Boundaries and Backbone Systems T2 – Serving Zones Drawings Drop Locations and Cable ID’s T3 –Communication Equipment Rooms Plan Views - Tech and AMEP and Elevations - Racks and Walls T4 – Typical Drawings Faceplate Labeling, Firestopping, ADA, Safety, DOT, etc.. T5 – Schedules (spreadsheets) for cutovers

Formare Technica, Ltd. LAN - WAN - PBX - STRUCTURED CABLING - CUSTOMER OWNED OSP - AUDIO/VIDEO Review We have identified that there is a gap between the Technology and Construction Industry We understand some of the history of how it has happened We have an organizational model for the performance specifications and We have a Drawing Series that is dedicated to Technology

Formare Technica, Ltd. LAN - WAN - PBX - STRUCTURED CABLING - CUSTOMER OWNED OSP - AUDIO/VIDEO New Process The key now is for telecommunication consultants to become part of the established design and construction process This is not always easy and is often challenged One method is for the customer to include telecommunication requirements in the project scope when selecting an architect or lead design professional

Formare Technica, Ltd. LAN - WAN - PBX - STRUCTURED CABLING - CUSTOMER OWNED OSP - AUDIO/VIDEO New Process A second step is to have the “architect” incorporate the Division 17 requirements from the earliest stages of planning through the design and construction stages by including a Technology Engineer or Consultant in the process

Formare Technica, Ltd. LAN - WAN - PBX - STRUCTURED CABLING - CUSTOMER OWNED OSP - AUDIO/VIDEO New Process For this to happen, Telecommunication Consultants must prepare the project requirements using: Performance Specifications based on The proposed Division 17 Organizational model The existing CSI master format, section format and page format documents Organized Series of CAD Drawings

Formare Technica, Ltd. LAN - WAN - PBX - STRUCTURED CABLING - CUSTOMER OWNED OSP - AUDIO/VIDEO New Process Then Telecommunication Contractors, Installers and Integrators must learn to interpret and work from: Performance Specifications based on The proposed Division 17 Organizational model The existing CSI master format, section format and page format documents Organized Series of CAD Drawings.

Formare Technica, Ltd. LAN - WAN - PBX - STRUCTURED CABLING - CUSTOMER OWNED OSP - AUDIO/VIDEO Next Steps BICSI has submitted proposal to CSI Review of MasterFormat is underway with next edition out /28/2002 Division 17 concept was approved. Now called Division 25 Communication by CSI.
