SUBJECT: Project SAFE Cow unications Support System - Data Grid
4. The facilities implications of the above are:
a. Ela trical distribution risers will have to be
expanded from C and vaults only. s is ideal since
both A and 9 vaults are electrically peaked out.
b. Electrical demand from these Dusers' consoles STATINTL
will be in t o er of magnitude of 3 to 5 amperes at
115 volts, single phase, per terminal (including peripheral
equipment).
5. Project SAFE management is looking to a turn-key type contract with
a systems engineering firm which will be monitored by the SAFE Coro staff.
Thus, the systems contractor will be responsible for the systems engineering,
construction design, installation, and testing. In this mode the Office of
Security and Office of Logistics' Real Estate and Construction Division will
serve as advisors during the planning staff and review the ongoing construc-
tion.
6. The Project SAFE plan calls for a system development contract to
be awarded in February-ttarch 1978. The installation of the system is
scheduled to start 1 October 1978 and to be finished by 1 May 1979.
Communication system testing will commence upon completion of installation
until final acceptance.
7. The external building SAFE users throughout the Washington Metropolitan
area will be served through commercial leased lines or possibly by the OC
microwave system.
8. The development and installation of the communications systfni
including the Data Grid will be funded by other SAFE funds (i.e. the
facilities S3,50O,OOD will not be used). Only the minor modifications of
the Headquarters Builfding,such as the electrical risers or closets are
facilities related are to be accomplished by RECD? using SAFE facilities
funds.
STATINTL 9. Mr. I Chief, Special Projects Staff, ODP, confirmed
the turn-key plan for the communications system including Data Grid. He
reemphasized that "nonfacilities' SAFE funds will fund this Installation
and restated the planned construction start date as 1 October 1978.
