Answer: No fiber is required. 3) How many feet of the indoor/outdoor fiber cable is needed? Answer: No fiber is required. 4) Are the dual data/dual voice drops (95 locations x 4 drops each) or (95 x 2 drops each)? Answer: There are 95 drop locations. Each drop has two voice jacks and two data jacks. They can refer to the ICE Cabling Standards page 10 and 11 Section 3.3 Work Station Outlets. 5) How many feet of cable trays will be required? Answer: Cable tray is being installed by the General Contractor is not a requirement of the cable vendor. The SOW is indicating that cable tray is installed therefore the need for j-hooks will be minimal. Q1: Will Sellers pay any taxes to do business in Puerto Rico?

Q1: One of the documents referred at the Federal Bids website is ICE #3 Attachment: Structured Cable Plant Standard Version 4.1. This document states in page 10, Exhibit 3, section 3.3 that all data jacks should be keyed, however I'm having a hard time finding a manufacturer that still offer that product. Are there any amendments to that documents? Can we quote non-keyed data jacks? A1: Yes, you may quote non-keyed jacks.
