Tennis Ctr Exp-CS100429 Rhonda Adloo From:Ester Moreno <emoreno@coppelltx.gov> Sent:Thursday, April 29, 2010 4:15 PM To:Keith Marvin Subject:RE: Conduit/bore from Tennis Center to Cemetery Attachments:Tennis Center Fiber Connection Project.doc Hi Keith: I need your help! We are going to Park Board (meeting May 3rd) and Council (May 11th meeting) regarding awarding of the construction bid to Schmoldt Construction for the Tennis Center Expansion Project. I am writing a memo to Park Board and Council and want to explain in a short paragraph what this fiber optic connection is about. I know we're wanting to connect the City line from the Cemetery to the Tennis Center but this is not enough of an explanation. I've attached a copy of the project information but it is written in a "foreign" language and need help explaining it as simple as possible so anyone can understand it. Can you help me with this please? Ester >>> Keith Marvin 4/16/2010 9:49 AM >>> John, Your interpretation is correct. The expectation is that the fiber be contained within an innerduct inside the 2" PVC. Please ensure the tracer wire and pull string from my email of March 3, 2010 is in there as well. Thanks. Keith Keith Marvin, P.E. Project Engineer (972) 304-3681 >>> <john.fielder@kimley-horn.com> 4/15/2010 3:31 PM >>> All: I have received questions from electrical contractors in regards to the innerduct for the Conduit and Fiber Optic connection as part of the Tennis Center Improvements project. The specifications sent to us stated the following: "Install 2" conduit, innerduct and 12 strand single mode fiber optic cable from the Rolling Oaks Memorial Center to the Coppell Tennis Center." I read that has requesting a 2" PVC conduit, with an additional PVC innerduct, and the fiber optic cable. Is this correct? If this is incorrect, and there is no additional PVC innerduct, please let me know and I will clarify this in addendum #2.

He will likely be in touch with you or Brian to discuss locations at each building to tie into. It would be best if there is an existing conduit we can intercept. Once Kevin has sketched this up, we can contact the contractor that installed the conduit to the aquatic center and see if he could give us some budgetary numbers for the installation. I will leave the cost of the internal components to you guys. When it comes time for final design and construction, it may be best to include this in the Tennis Center expansion project that is currently under design. Keith >>> James Loggins 2/18/2010 8:27 AM >>> Keith, We'd like to connect the Tennis Center to the Cemetery. Brian can tell you which building at the Cemetery we'll need to get to. What we're trying to accomplish is to get conduit and fiber from one facility to another, to include the hardware at each end to connect the Tennis Center to the switch at the Cemetery. The pieces of all that are... the conduit getting across the road with the conduit pulling fiber from facility to facility network hardware to connect the facilities (media converters, etc) I'd like to get quotes for this, and it might be good to get several quotes for various levels of completion to see if it would be better to have one company do it all, or one company to bore, one to do the fiber, one for the connectivity, etc, or something in between. I'm sure there are details I left out of this, so let me know what I can do to help. Thanks, James 2 Tennis Center Fiber Connection Project Pathway Install 2” conduit, innerduct and 12 strand single mode fiber optic cable from the Rolling Oaks Memorial Center to the Coppell Tennis Center. Conduit should include pull boxes at a maximum distance of 500 ft between each box.
