Cable Plant Week of
June 4, 2004

Russells Report:

The summary of my weeks activities are:

Housing time clock project: The contractors portion
of this project is completed, insofar as the original project deliverables.
Housing may slightly amend the project, due to changes in vendor offerings.

The installation of the additional telco cable between
coll. 9 ADF and the student Health Center has the cable installed and
terminated. The testing and physical inspection (punch list) is all
that remains.

I will attend seminars at Graybars vendor show this
Thursday.

Reviewing and gathering budgetary costs for the Chancellor
relocation.

The report has been completed and forwarded, awaiting
comment from the relocation committee.

We have been asked to comment on the following:        

a. Basement closet recommendations and cost of utilizing
existing versus new closet in the vertical 'stack'        

b. Recommendations for a situational room (data /
voice/ media). This room is proposed to be located on the 2nd floor.

Humanities Bldg.

This project has gone to bid without allowing me
to assure changes to the drawings and spec book were accurate. There
are numerous mistakes. I will do a complete review of the bid documents.

Insofar as retaining the third copper cable in the
Humanities project and/or all future projects, the project has gone
to bid with the third cable optional and bid as an addition to the project.

We still need to meet with PP&C and the users
of the building.

Baskin / engineering Building, working with Baskin
staff to get fiber installed between Baskin and E2. Presently determing
final fiber requirements and designing the Baskin 0.1 closet. This project
will be managed by Cable plant as a small cabling project.

Engineering Building: Some items have slipped through
the submittal process (CATS was unable to review). I am working with
the contractor and PP&C towards workable solutions.

Housing Admin / Staff Art studio project: This project
was performed without knowledge of CATS. Several issues remain outstanding.

Reviewing construction documents for the following
projects:

ERC 50% construction

Biomedical Research Facility

SBC CAMFAC cable install. coordinating activities
between SBC and Jim Gabrio to get the conduit installed. SBC will saw

Investigating setting up Pinnacle to better track data needed for
the small wiring projects.  The new database is very complex, documentation
is vague, therefore reading and experimentation in the test database
is necessary to accomplish this task.  Implemented a process in
the test database for Marcy & Neil to test.

final ok from Marcy. Marcy to schedule time in early June for us to
meet and finalize this project.
5/27 no change

Investigating some Oracle code that will turn SQL into html. 
Just ran across it, cant definitely say, yet, if it will be of value
to us, for Pinnacle.  Will play around with it and let you know.
