CalPac has experienced in design, planning and project management, especially in communications facility installation. Recently CalPac completed a project for the Guam Public School System, known as the JFK E-Rate project. This project is a federal government funded program, mandating that the local government, public school system provide accessibility to educational programs via telecommunication facilities.
Brief Summary of the JFK E-RATE project.
CalPac prepare the design and perform the engineering services associated with the Inter-building Backbone and Classroom/ Network. This back bone network conduit and cabling system connected the Intermediate Distribution Frame (IDF) to the Main Distribution Frame (MDF). CalPac also designed the Intra-building Network System for conduit, data, voice and CATV from the MDF or IDF to the Information Management Outlet (IMO), in the classrooms.
CalPac preformed the installation of buried conduits and associated hardware for the Inter-building Backbone and Intra-building Network System from the MDF or IDF to the individual IMO. This included trenching, back filling, sand bedding, warning tape, pull string, pull boxes, junction boxes, concrete repair, repair of any damaged utilities, clean-up and disposal of debris.
CalPac did the installation of the MDF, IDF, IMO, Fiber, Copper, ½ Coax, CAT 5 Data and Voice and RG 6 cables and associated hardware This also included the splicing, activation, balancing, preliminary and final testing of all cables required to complete the scope of the GPSS E-RATE project.
CalPac provided complete as-built records for this project. These documents were prepared detailing room outlet number, outlet receptacle type, jack position, jack type, cable type and cable number.
