To provide an estimate for the actual work required and build data around the work taking place based on industry standards, we can break down the staging tasks and assign estimated hours for each task. Here's a detailed breakdown: 1. Receiving and Inventory: - Estimated time: 0.5 hours per device - This task involves receiving the equipment, verifying the quantities against the packing list, and checking for any visible damage. 2. Physical Staging: - Estimated time: 0.5 hours per device - This task involves unboxing the equipment, placing it on the staging racks or tables, and preparing it for configuration. 3. Power-on and POST: - Estimated time: 0.25 hours per device - This task involves powering on each device and verifying that it passes the Power-On Self-Test (POST). 4. Burn-in Testing: - Estimated time: 4 hours per batch (assuming devices can be tested in parallel) - This task involves running the devices for a continuous 4-hour period to ensure stability and identify any early failures. 5. Software Installation and Upgrade/Downgrade: - Estimated time: 1 hour per device - This task involves installing the required operating system version and upgrading or downgrading the software based on Vodafone's standards. 6. Golden Configuration: - Estimated time: 1 hour per device - This task involves loading the golden configuration provided by Vodafone onto each device. 7. Basic Configuration for Remote Access: - Estimated time: 0.5 hours per device - This task involves configuring basic settings to enable remote access to the devices for further configuration and monitoring. 8. Device Labeling: - Estimated time: 0.25 hours per device - This task involves applying labels to each device based on Vodafone's naming convention. 9. Testing and Validation: - Estimated time: 1 hour per device - This task involves performing a comprehensive set of tests to validate the functionality, connectivity, and performance of each staged device. 10. Packing and Shipping Preparation: - Estimated time: 0.5 hours per device - This task involves properly packing the staged devices, creating shipping labels, and preparing the equipment for delivery to Vodafone's designated site. Based on the above estimates and the quantities provided in the BOM, here's a summary of the estimated work hours: - Cisco Nexus 9300 series switches (8 units): - Total estimated hours: 8 * (0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 1 + 1 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 1 + 0.5) = 44 hours - Burn-in testing: 4 hours - Cisco Catalyst 9300 series switches (9 units): - Total estimated hours: 9 * (0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 1 + 1 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 1 + 0.5) = 49.5 hours - Burn-in testing: 4 hours Total estimated work hours: 44 + 49.5 + (2 * 4) = 101.5 hours Please note that these estimates are based on industry standards and may vary depending on the specific devices, complexity of the configurations, and the efficiency of the staging team. It's always a good practice to add a buffer to the estimates to account for any unforeseen issues or contingencies. --- # Vodafone SCB Network Obsolescence 2024 LOE Framework ## CUSTOMER INFORMATION - Customer Name: Vodafone SCB - Abbreviated Customer Name: Vodafone - Customer Contact Name: [Contact Name] - Customer Contact Email and Phone: [Contact Email] / [Contact Phone] ## WWT ACCOUNT TEAM INFORMATION - Account Manager Name: Stephanie Chambers - Account Manager Phone Number: [Account Manager Phone] - Consulting Systems Engineer (CSE) Name: Jason Davis - Consulting Systems Architect (CSA) Name: N/A ## FEDERAL INFORMATION - Not applicable, as this is not a federal project. ## QUOTE DETAILS - Due Date: [SOW Due Date] - Type of Quote Needed: Firm Fixed - Hardware Provided by WWT?
