Telecom Takeoff

[!info] Scope

  • Telephone
  • Data
  • Cable TV

Important

Not to be confused with low-voltage-takeoff.

Note: Empty Conduit

Where COMMON ASSEMBLIES/PDI EMPTY & DUCTBANK CONDUIT/... is specified, FEEDER CONDUIT AND WIRE/... is also acceptable.

Site Low Voltage Duct Bank

    • Area = "2 - Site"
    • Phase = "Site"
    • System = "LVD - Site Low Voltage Ductbank"
    • Bid Item = "1 - Site"

    COMMON ASSEMBLIES/PDI EMPTY & DUCTBANK CONDUIT/...

    • Size and quantity per proposal > drawings > assume (4) 4"C
    • Length = Length measured from MDF to 5ft beyond building footprint

Garden Style: Outside of every building

[!important] Long-Radius Elbows Note requirements for long-radius elbows, substitute items as necessary.

    • .../BOH / AMENITY ASSEMBLIES
    • .../SCREWLESS DECORA COVERS UNITS / BOH
    • .../ROUGH IN ASSY

If system is included, take off both rough-in and device assemblies in amenity areas.

If rough-in is included, always provide backboxes and conduit stub-ups for outlets in other than units, even if qualified as "free-air per code" or similar.1
