DoDEA Technology Systems Design Guide –DoDEA Network Requirements1.0PURPOSEThis design guide has been prepared to provide the Architect/Engineer (A/E) community withthe necessary criteria to assist in the design of the special systems that are typically found in aneducational facility. While certain features of the system design will vary from project toproject, the requirements reflected in this guide are intended to provide the minimumrequirements required by the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA). Thisdocument provides information about DoDEA Network Requirements. A separate SpecialSystems guide accompanies this document and includes standards for additional low voltagespecial systems.2.0APPLICABILITYThese instructions apply to DoDEA, the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Norfolk DoDEADesign Center, Construction Agents having DoDEA Military Construction (MILCON)responsibilities to include USACE, Naval Facilities Command (NAVFAC), and the Air Force CivilEngineer Center (AFCEC), as well as Architect/Engineer (design) firms, and constructioncontractors. These instructions are intended to be used for new DoDEA MILCON projects orprojects that are modifying existing facilities.For all new or modified DoDEA facilities, the designer/construction contractor mustdemonstrate that the criteria outlined in this and other relevant guides for each technologysystem have been met. Host Nation funded projects should comply with this guideline to thegreatest extent possible; after standard warranty periods have expired, any modifications tohost nation funded facilities shall comply with the criteria outlined in this guide.3.0REFERENCESReferences include, but are not limited to, the following documents.

DoDEA Technology Systems Design Guide –DoDEA Network Requirements4.0RESPONSIBILITIES4.1HEADQUARTERS, DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE EDUCATION ACTIVITYHQ DoDEA is responsible for program management by providing scope, direction, funding, andfinancial management of the entire DoDEA Military Construction (MILCON) design andconstruction program. HQ DoDEA Facilities Branch, in coordination with the DoDEA DesignCenter, and each DoDEA Area Project Manager (PM), is responsible for ensuring that designsubmittals for DoDEA projects are routed through HQ DoDEA’s Information Technology (IT)Architecture, Standards and Auditing (ASA) MILCON review team. The HQ IT ASA MILCONreview team reviews and provides timely comments on design submittals to ensure compliancewith this guide and other relevant standards, and provides review comments to the respectiveDoDEA Area PM to be implemented into the project. Other HQ DoDEA functions, such as, butnot limited to, the Office of Safety and Security or Education Division, shall also provideguidance where their Areas of Responsibility intersect with Technology System requirements.4.2DODEA AREA OFFICES (DODEA‐AMERICAS, EUROPE, PACIFIC)The DoDEA Area Offices shall provide a Project Manager (PM) who shall coordinate with theSchool Superintendent, local logistical staff, and host installation representatives regardinglocal technology requirements. This individual, the Facilities Engineer for the project, shall bereferred to throughout this document as the DoDEA Area PM. In concert with the HQ staff, toinclude the IT ASA MILCON review team, Area Facilities and IT representatives, the DoDEADesign Center, and the Construction Agent Project Manager, the DoDEA Area PM shall ensurethat the A/E and construction contractor implement the latest DoDEA standards for DoDEANetwork and Special Systems within DoDEA projects. The DoDEA Area PM shall initiatecoordination with IT ASA at the Planning stage of the project, with detailed IT ASA reviewsbeginning at the 35% stage for all projects. A half‐size hard copy of drawings and an electroniccopy of specifications shall be provided.4.3HOST INSTALLATIONThe host installation and supporting agencies (such as the Network Enterprise Center on Armyinstallations) are responsible for working with the DoDEA Area PM to ensure DoDEA projectssatisfactorily incorporate local technology requirements. The installation shall provide relevantinformation regarding local telecommunication facilities, network infrastructure anddistribution systems, shall identify the location and capacity of the existing available fiber opticand copper cables in the proximity of the project, and shall provide technical support as neededduring design and construction activities.Version 2.1 (Update) – April 14, 2016Page 7

DoDEA Technology Systems Design Guide –DoDEA Network Requirements4.4CONSTRUCTION AGENTThe Construction Agent Project Manager for USACE, NAVFAC or AFCEC, in concert with theDoDEA Area PM, and the DoDEA Design Center, shall ensure that the A/E and constructioncontractor implement the latest DoDEA standards for DoDEA Network and Special Systemswithin DoDEA projects.4.5DODEA DESIGN CENTER – NORFOLK DISTRICT TECHNICAL MANAGER (TM)The Norfolk District TM supports HQ DoDEA, the DoDEA Area PM, the Construction Agent, andthe A/E as a technical subject matter expert. The Norfolk District TM shall support IT designreviews to verify compliance with the latest DoDEA standards for DoDEA Network and SpecialSystems. Along with the DoDEA Area PM, the Norfolk District TM shall ensure that reviewcomments provided by the IT ASA MILCON review team are adequately addressed in DoDEAproject designs.4.6ARCHITECT/ENGINEER DESIGNER AND CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTORThe Architect/Engineer designer and construction contractor must demonstrate that thecriteria outlined in this and other relevant guides for each technology system have been met inall new or modified DoDEA facilities.In general, telecommunications racks, conduit, cable trays, terminations, and outlets shall beMILCON funded. Rack switches are typically Operations & Maintenance (O&M) funded.Controllers and amplifiers for PA/Intercom/Clocks/Bells, proximity card access controls, Ai‐Phone
