With new <br /> advancements in technology there is concern the networking equipment will overheat within the <br /> limited confines of the closet space used to house the equipment, especially during the summer <br /> months. <br /> To protect the.Town's investment in technology and to prolong the life of the equipment, air . <br /> conditioning units are requested to properly cool the data networking closets. Firm quotations <br /> have been received for this cost previously estimated at$40,000 per year which brought forth a <br /> preliminary cost estimate of$240,000 over the six-year project span. <br /> The cost has been revised to $7,000 per closet. The amended cost request is $25,000 per year for <br /> a two-year period. <br /> Members of the CIP Committee briefly reviewed this matter with David Delvecchio, the Town's <br /> Network Administrator. Mr. Delvecchio indicated that heat is a concern with technology <br /> equipment, especially with servers in a small closet spaces lacking circulation. Cooling and <br /> proper ventilation will prolong the life of networking equipment. It was noted there are seven <br /> closets, and currently two have air conditioning. Mr. Delvecchio stated that a general formula <br /> using wattage and BTU's is used to determine cost assumptions. The average "design" life of a <br /> data networking closet cooling system is 5-10 years. <br /> Motion made by Mr. Gottlieb to amend the Air Condition Network Closet project of the <br /> School Department to $25,000 for FY18 and $25,000 for FY19, and pursue funding from <br /> MCAT for this project. <br /> Motion seconded by Mr. Richardson. <br /> VOTE: Unanimous. 5-0. <br /> Roll Call Vote: <br /> Mr. Collins, yes Mr. Gottlieb,yes Mrs. Thayer, yes <br /> Mr. Richardson, yes Mr. Gasior, yes Opposed, none <br />
