Q1: Description: AS-02 general note 20 calls for the contractor to level out surfaces at the
ramp locations. There is not a note as to who procures the ramp system at the new modular
villages or installs them. Please confirm that the access ramps are a part of the modular
system and will not be provided by the contractor.
A1: Refer to item 2-1.1.
Q2: The portable units do not show any penetrations through the flooring, however, the
portables are completely installed by another company. Are there any pre-installed points of
entry for utilities in the modular buildings? Please confirm if the portables have pre
manufactured/pre designated penetrations for utilities (MEP).
A2:

1.7 DEFINITIONS
A.
Bonding – The permanent joining of metallic parts to form an electrically
conductive path that will assure electrical continuity and the capacity to
conduct safely any current likely to be imposed.
B.
Common Bonding Network (CBN) – The principal means for affecting
bonding and earthing inside a building.
C.
Ground/Earth – A conducting connection, whether intentional or incidental, by
which an electric circuit or equipment is connected to earth, or to some
conducting body of relatively large extent that serves in place of the earth.
D.
Retrofit Rack Grounding/Earthing – The application of grounding/earthing
products and technology where equipment is already deployed and
functioning.
1.8 OVERVIEW
A.
The purpose of the grounding/earthing system is to create a low impedance
path to earth ground for electrical surges and transient voltages. Lightning,
fault currents, circuit switching (motors turning on and off), and electrostatic
discharge are common causes of these surges and transient voltages. An
effective grounding/earthing system minimizes the detrimental effects of
these electrical surges, which include degraded network performance and
reliability and increased safety risks.
B.
The grounding/earthing system must be intentional, visually verifiable,
adequately sized to handle expected currents safely, and directs these
potentially damaging currents away from sensitive network equipment. As
such, grounding/earthing must be purposeful in its design and installation.
Four issues require special consideration:
1. Although AC powered equipment typically has a power cord that contains
a ground/earth wire, the integrity of this path cannot be easily verified.
Thus, many equipment manufacturers require grounding/earthing above
and beyond that which is specified by local electrical codes, such as the
National Electrical Code, etcetera. Always follow the grounding/earthing
recommendations of the manufacturer when installing equipment.

Relocatables 11, 12 & 13 Addendum No. 2
Saddleback College
South Orange County Community College District
2. While the building steel and metallic water piping must be bonded to the
grounding/earthing system for safety reasons, neither may be substituted
for the telecommunications bonding backbone (TBB).
3. Electrical continuity throughout each rack or cabinet is required to
minimize safety risks. Hardware typically supplied with bolt-together
racks is not designed for grounding/earthing purposes. Additionally, most
racks are painted. Paint is an insulator. Unless rack members are
deliberately bonded, continuity between members is incidental, and in
many cases, unlikely.
4. Any metallic component that is part of the data center, including
equipment, racks, ladder racks, enclosures, cable trays, etc. must be
bonded to the grounding/earthing system.
1.9 WORKMANSHIP
A.
The ground/earth system must be designed for high reliability. Therefore, the
grounding/earthing system shall meet following criteria:
1. Local electrical codes shall be adhered to.
2. The grounding/earthing system shall comply with ANSI/TIA-942 and
J-STD-607-A.
3. All grounding/earthing conductors shall be copper.
4. Lugs, HTAPs, grounding strips, and busbars shall be UL Listed and made
of premium quality tin-plated electrolytic copper that provides low
electrical resistance while inhibiting corrosion. Antioxidant shall be used
when making bonding connections in the field.
5. Wherever possible, two-hole lugs shall be used because they resist
loosening when twisted (bumped) or exposed to vibration. All lugs shall
be irreversible compression and meet NEBS Level 3 as tested by
Telcordia. Lugs with inspection windows shall be used in all noncorrosive environments so that connections may be inspected for full
conductor insertion (battery rooms are an exception where windowless
lugs may be used).
6. Die index numbers shall be embossed on all compression connections to
allow crimp inspection.
7. Cable assemblies shall be UL Listed and CSA Certified. Cables shall be
a distinctive green or green/yellow in color, and all jackets shall be UL,
VW-1 flame rated.

A.
PANDUIT shall manufacture all products, including but not limited to
grounding/earthing and bonding for communications systems.
B.
Products of equal performance and warranty will be allowed.
2.2 GROUNDING/EARTHING AND BONDING
A.
The Telecommunications Grounding Busbar (TGB) in each
telecommunications space will be grounded/earthed to the
Telecommunications Main Grounding Busbar (TMGB) located at the service
entrance. The gauge of the connecting ground/earth cable, known as the
Telecommunications Bonding Backbone (TBB) will follow J-STD-607-A
guidelines, as is shown in the table below.

B.
The TMGB will be bonded to building steel and grounded/earthed to the
electrical service ground according to BICSI TDM Manual and J-STD-607-B
guidelines. Local codes may supersede these requirements. In
telecommunications spaces with only one rack, the rack jumper cable can be
connected directly to the TGB.

2.3 COMPONENTS, KITS AND HARDWARE
A.
PANDUIT® StructuredGround™ Grounding System (StructuredEarth™
Earthing System) kits, components, and hardware shall be used to construct
the grounding/earthing system.
B.
Use PANDUIT GB4 series BICSI/J-STD-607-A telecommunications
grounding busbars for the TMGB, which is ideally located at the AC service
entrance. Use a PANDUIT GB2 series busbar for the TGB in each of the
other telecommunications/equipment spaces throughout the building. Use
PANDUIT
LCC-W series lugs when connecting conductors to the TMGB and TGB.
C.
Route the TBB to each TGB in as straight a path as possible. The TBB
should be installed as a continuous conductor, avoiding splices where
possible. Use PANDUIT HTAP kits, family HTWC, to provide a tap from the
TBB to each TGB. When more than one TBB is used, bond them together
using the TGBs on the top floor and every third floor in between with a
conductor known as a Grounding Equalizer (GE). Use the J-STD-607-A
guidelines for sizing of the TBB when sizing the GE (shown in the table
above).
D.
Avoid routing grounding/earthing conductors in metal conduits. If the
grounding/earthing conductor must be routed through a metal conduit, bond
each end of the conduit to the grounding/earthing conductor. Use PANDUIT
GPL series grounding clamps to bond to the conduit, a PANDUIT HTWC
HTAP with clear cover to bond to the grounding/earthing conductor, and a #6
AWG copper conductor to connect the GPL grounding clamp to the HTWC
HTAP.
2.4 RACK GROUNDING/EARTHING
A.
Equipment and racks shall be bonded in accordance with the methods
prescribed in ANSI/TIA-942, as is shown in the figure below.

D.
Mount an electrostatic discharge (ESD) port kit, PANDUIT part number
RGESD-1 directly to the rack grounding strip on the back of the rack at
approximately 48 inches from the floor. Mount a second RGESD-1 directly to
the vertical mounting rail of the rack in the front at approximately the same
height. Use the thread-forming screws provided to form a bond to the rack.
Place the ESD protection identification stickers directly above the ESD ports.
E.
When the equipment manufacturer provides a location for mounting a
grounding connection, that connection shall be utilized. Use the appropriate
PANDUIT RG series jumper for the equipment being installed and the threadforming screws provided in the kit.
F.
Use PANDUIT part number RGCBNJ660P (common bonding network to rack
jumper) to attach the rack ground strip to the common bonding network. Do
not bond racks or cabinets serially. Use the copper compression HTAP that
comes with the kit to bond the conductor to the common bonding network.
G.
Patch panels will be bonded to racks using the PANDUIT bonding screws,
part number RGTBS-C for racks having #12-24 equipment mounting holes,
and RGTBSM6-C for racks having M6 equipment mounting holes.
2.5 RETROFIT RACK GROUNDING/EARTHING
A.
If the racks already have network equipment installed, it may not be feasible
to install the rack ground strip without disrupting data cables. Further, it may
be undesirable to disassemble rack hardware to install paint piercing
grounding washers. In these circumstances, the PANDUIT retrofit rack
grounding kits, PANDUIT part family RGR, are to be installed.
B.
For retrofit rack grounding/earthing installations, use PANDUIT part number
RGRKCBNJ to ground/earth the rack to the common bonding network. Use
PANDUIT part number RGEJ696 (provided with #6 AWG grounding
conductor) or PANDUIT part number RGEJ1096 (provided with #10 AWG
grounding conductor) to ground/earth equipment chassis to the rack
grounding busbar provided with the RGRKCBNJ as is shown in the figure
below.

C.
RGW paint piercing grounding washers are not used in this scenario. Thus,
the grounding busbar provides continuity through the vertical channels of the
rack, but not the top and bottom of the rack. Thus, wherever practical, the
solution using the RGS rack grounding strip and the RGW paint piercing
washers shall be used instead of the retrofit rack grounding kits.
D.
All other grounding/earthing requirements apply to retrofit installations without
exception.
E.
Use PANDUIT® STRUCTUREDGROUND™ Grounding System
(STRUCTUREDEARTH™ Earthing System) in every application possible. See

C.
Provide the Districts' Project Manager with the opportunity to witness all testing.
On reasonable request, the installer shall demonstrate that the test procedure
competently identifies the fault conditions being tested for.
D.
Complete all of the tests identified in these specifications.
E.
Ensure that all test equipment is in calibration before delivery to site and
throughout the testing period. The Installer shall be responsible for ensuring that
any necessary tests and rework to maintain equipment's calibration status is
carried out. Any tests performed on uncalibrated test equipment shall be
repeated at the Installer’s cost.
F.
The test documentation shall be available for inspection by the Districts' Project
Manager during the installation period and copies shall be submitted to the
Districts' Project Manager within fourteen days of completion of tests on cables in
each area. The Installer shall retain a copy to aid preparation of Record
Documents information. See Records Documents details under submittals
section.
G.
If on submittal of the Record documentation there are any missing test results or
incorrectly named files, the test shall be repeated at the Installer’s expense.
H.
Provide competent, factory-trained engineers and/or technicians, authorized by
the manufacturer of the cabling system, to technically supervise and participate
during all tests for the systems. Personnel shall be competent in and qualified by
experience or training for comprehensive TDR and OTDR operation and
troubleshooting, for optical fiber testing.
I.
All cables and termination hardware shall be 100% tested for defects in
installation and to verify cable performance under installed conditions. All
conductors of each installed cable shall be verified usable by the installing
contractor before system acceptance. Any defect in the cable system installation
including but not limited to cable, connectors, feed-through couplers, patch
panels, splices, and connector blocks shall be repaired or replaced in order to
ensure 100% useable conductors in all cables installed.
J.
Each installed cable shall be tested for installed length using a Time Domain
Reflectometer (TDR) device. The cables shall be tested from patch panel to
patch panel, block to block, patch panel to outlet or block to outlet as appropriate.
The cable length shall conform to the maximum distances set forth in the
ANSI/TIA-568-C Standard. Cable lengths shall be recorded, referencing the
cable identification number and circuit or pair number.
