County posts detailed SOW for sheriff’s office rack relocation and weekend cutover plan

The commissioners court record includes a detailed Statement of Work (SOW) titled 'Data Center Rack Relocation, Ladder Rack Installation, Fiber Relocation, Cabling, and Equipment Cutover.' The SOW requires a site assessment, port mapping and labeling, ladder rack installation with grounding, rack preparation with PDUs and cable management, careful fiber housing relocation with OTDR or equivalent testing, Cat6 certification testing (Fluke or equivalent), and final as-built documentation and acceptance by County Technology personnel.

The document prescribes a three-weekend implementation plan: Weekend 1 for infrastructure and preparation (no production cutover), Weekend 2 as the core cutover (highest-risk window), and Weekend 3 as a contingency/testing buffer. It also specifies deliverables and that the project 'must be completed no later than September 20, 2027.' Quotes were requested to be itemized across planning, ladder-rack materials and labor, weekend labor rates and contingency costs; the SOW instructs contractors to provide a defined cutover sequence, go/no-go checkpoints and rollback procedures.
