MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Communications/DDA

Chief, Information Management Staff/DDO
Director, Consolidated SAFE Project Office/ODP
SUBJECT : Funding for Wideband Coaxial Cable Installation
1. This memorandum outlines the funding requirements
from the Office of Communications and the Information
Management Staff to provide wideband cable capacity to the
entire Headquarters building. $194,000 is required of Office
of Communications and $203,000 from Information Management
Staff are required as outlined below.
2. Background - The SAFE Contract currently calls for
installing the cable with distribution covering only those
areas of the building where NFAC is located; this allows
approximately 50% of the building access to the cable. Sub-
sequent to the signing of the contract, the DDO expressed
interest in extending the cable to cover some of their office
areas, and transferred $250,000 for that purpose. We estimated
that satisfying DDO's needs would bring the building coverage
to approximately 85%; we then proceeded to ask the SAFE
Contractor for a proposal to do the entire building. The SAFE
Contractor responded with a proposal for $647,000 for the
increased scope. We estimate that the $647,000 breaks down
into $453,000 to cover the DDO areas, with the remaining $194,000
to finish the building. Taking into consideration the 250K
already transferred by DDO, and assigning the bill for com-
pleting the building to OC, we came up with allocation suggested
above. Current planning includes $250,000 from OC to install
a second "backbone" cable in addition to the above amounts.
3. It is requested that action be taken to provide
additional funding of $397,000 to install the Wicleband Coaxial
Cable throughout the Headquarters Building. It is suggested
that OC and DDO provide $194,000 and $203,000 respectively.
The rationale for this allocation is described above. A

commitment for the funds is needed by 10 March 1980; the
work will be done and funds will actually be spent,. in FY-81.
Without the additional funds, approximately 30% of the
building will not have access to the cable, including some
areas where DDO has requested access. A delayed commitment
on this extension will result in an increase of about
$200,000 when the work is done.
4. These may be FY-80 funds committed to Llie contract
at once or FY-81 funds available in time to continue the ~J.
We must, however, advise of our commitment in orders
them to execute the subcontract. Please advise me of the
availability of funds by 3 March to permit notification of
our contractor. I am available to review the cable plan again
with you to support this request.
