The first departure is an allowable departure that may be taken to increase the density in areas where the user indicates there is a need. Any departure therefrom should be approved by the FAMU Information Resource Manager. A review is conducted by the PL or his designee to determine the communications electronics and materials needed for the project. A materials estimate for completion of the project is developed by this university representative who then provides comparative cost estimates and issues recommendations. When project materials arrive on campus, they are logged into an inventory tracking system and a receiving report is generated through the University Central Receiving Department.
Payment is authorized only for materials that are logged into the inventory system.
The items are subsequently moved to a secured and restricted storage area for technology materials until deployed to a secured project staging area. The contractor that is engaged to provide labor to install a network cabling system must sign a materials release agreement that addresses acceptable use of University special project materials. Upon execution of this agreement, the contractor accepts full responsibility for all of the retrofit materials. The building staging area is re-keyed to a system accessible only by the contractor until the completion of the project. Upon completion of the installation of computer network cabling, the contractor must provide as-built drawings, test results and restore the key system.
