network system, how did he approach it? <br /> Mr. Kirwan described the Cambridge system: every data cable comes from a <br /> serving closet straight to the outlet. It ends in an industry compliant <br /> RJ45 jack which will accept what ever you have going. At the closet, they <br /> mirror these jacks in location order. They build termination racks right <br /> next to it with electrical outlets, space for 10 base T hubs, network modum <br /> shelf below it, tie to the telephone system. Hubs specified have the <br /> ability to break down into segments. <br /> Steve asked how many ports they are serving out of a closet? <br /> He said in some cases it goes up to 250. Wherever they can , if geometry <br /> works, they bring it back to one closet. Whenever they can they aggregate <br /> common equipment. <br /> Tom Wren said in their proposal it says they will not provide cost <br /> estimates for servers hardware and related equipment. What does that mean, <br /> what is included in that phase? <br /> Mr. Kirwan said that phase is looking at the construction documents and <br /> infrastructure, later they get into the application hardware. They do keep <br /> the numbers from all other clients, what they estimated, what bids came <br /> back at what the technology packages were. They can express it by square <br /> foot, by student or by outlay . They do the costing for the physical <br /> infrastructure and for the systems. <br /> Ian asked if he had an idea of what a per pupil or per sq foot optimum <br /> technology budget should be, based on recent projects? <br /> Mr. Kirwan said to do all of these systems, full blown, including servers, <br /> telephone, voice mail , PC ' s is about $380-$400 per student and it could go <br /> up to $450. That is to have things in, up and running. <br /> Discussion of gym layout . <br /> Paul said there is a difference of opinion between Gus Fredricks and Dr . <br /> DeMoura. Dr. DeMoura likes the newly proposed,, center of the room layout. <br /> Dr. DeMoura said he feels it looks awkward when the court and bleachers are <br /> not centered. You can still use 2 curtains to get 3 gyms. <br /> Gus said some basketball coaches like to use a full court practice and that <br /> would cut out the opportunity to use all the other gyms . That cuts out any <br /> community use. <br /> Merry Sue agreed. There will eventually be 6 basketball teams that need to <br /> use that space. <br /> Bill said if you leave it as it was, in the future you have the potential <br /> to put back the wall . <br /> Steve said just making a bigger gym is absolutely wrong . <br /> Dr. DeMoura feels it makes more sense when the bleachers are moved , there <br /> is a better flow in and out of the gym. <br /> Paul said with the curtain down it will not look awkward . <br /> Janice said you can put a stage in the "extra gym" area and use the <br /> remainder for seating. It is very versatile the way it is. <br /> Paul asked if there was any more support for the center scheme? <br /> The Committee did not support the change. <br /> Greg Taylor was present to discuss the meeting he attended with the Cape <br /> Cod Commission . He explained it was a scoping session with the technical <br /> staff . There is another meeting on December 28th at 10 : 00 and he feels it <br /> is important for a Committee member to attend . <br /> 5 <br />
