The mission of the Technology
Infrastructure Department is to provide
standardized structured wiring specification’s
and installation practices for data, telephone,
CCTV, LAV (local audio/visual), grounding &
bonding and the supporting electrical systems in
all of our schools. Coordination of all aspect
of the design and construction is important,
since our schools vary widely in their needs and
construction. Therefore an understanding of how
these standards affect retrofits and new
construction is important.
It is the
responsibility of the Architect, Engineers, and
Contractors to be familiar with these
specifications and how and when to apply them.
Design teams are required to use an RCDD and/or
an engineer with a minimum of three years
experience working closely with our design
requirements.
Only a member of this department
or the appropriate AHJ (as described within the
DCPS SWS) may approve any requests for variances
from these standards. These requests shall only
be approved in writing. To maintain cost
effectiveness and ease of maintenance, only
products approved by these standards or the
appropriate AHJ are to be used. Contractors
shall meet the conditions set forth in the DCPS
Technology Contractor Pre-approval Requirements.
The latest version is a major
revision written to prepare DCPS for the
technology of the present as well as the
future. As such the new version will be
referred to as the DCPS Structured Wiring
Standard (SWS) 1st edition 2012.
