Project manager and lead staff responsible for Quality Control are to attend an online training session (approx 1 hour). A condensed 15 minute introductory video will be provided.
Please note, the QC platform is focused on building quality outcomes in a positive environment. A key objective is identifying any required actions while contractors are on site, so any remediation can be conducted immediately and avoid potential of return visits being requested.

The school and community 'may be' able to assist with travel, accommodation and some labour, BUT there must be fair payment for the services. It is not acceptable that their enthusiasm for the opportunity is exploited. ITF is available to give advice regarding travel etc. as we have surveyed and have developed relationships with the schools, boat captains etc.
This can be made done during the project.

Must be a Starlink Mini (NOT a fixed location unit like a Gen 3 for example)

Power supply is either:

- AC Battery/Inverter unit (you may already have this for charging tools). This is the preferred option, simpler to charge on that mobile AC supply.

OR

- DC power bank meeting Starlink specifications + The USB-C to Barrel Jack Cable Accessory specifically for Starlink Mini. Power bank specifications: PD source with a minimum rating of 100W, 20V/5A (please note that Starlink Mini will not work with USB PD ratings of 65W or lower).

Coconut Wireless (Pradeep) stocks Starlink Minis and accessories: 997 9749 info@coconutwireless.technology. Pradeep, with commission the unit for you and do brief necessary training (including pausing the account when not in use to save you money). We highly recommend.

In most cases, if old reticulation exists the trench routes are likely to be similar for the new cabling, therefore where practical follow the historical trenching to lay the new cable - that will make your job easier.

When following the trenches please remove the old wiring.

Note: map distances are only approximate.

Reporting:
Acknowledge if used existing routes or otherwise.
At the end of the job please provide a map of the the wiring routes and pillar boxes. A hand drawing on the map is fine - we will add to the original map anyway. less

NOTE: Trench Depth: Where standard depths (500mm with no surface covering or 300mm with 75mm concrete) cannot be achieved due to bedrock or reality of providing concrete, a minimum cover depth of 300mm will be acceptable provided the polymeric cable cover is used. Contractors to carry a 25m roll to site as contingency and kept for future job when not used. If larger need required, consult the QC inspector. When used upload image of polymeric cover and caution tape. less

Alternatively you may do a single video walking in and out of up to 4 classrooms and in the indicate the rooms names in the note BUT the video must be very clear and be brisk between room to reduce your upload MBs and time. less

If it exists, old underground wiring is to be removed for recycling or best practice disposal. In most cases, if old reticulation exists the trench routes are likely to be similar for the new cabling, therefore where practical follow the historical trenching to lay the new cable - that will make your job easier. Note: map distances are not intended as exact trenching routes - contractor to choose most appropriate trenching.
Old pillar boxes are removed from site.

Waste is an important issue for ITF and where possible we avoid adding to the waste load in the communities. The policy for removal of existing small solar is evolving with stakeholders. At present the policy is as follows. Should there be any changes that make a material difference to your costs we agree on a contract variation.

Removal of small solar system equipment (panels, PCE, batteries etc) is the responsibility of the solar contractors.

Unless otherwise instructed (please check individual school instructions in the exhibits):

IF the old system/s has failed:

Disconnect the system and leave in a safe state.
Remove all wiring, switches, GPOs and sub boards. Includes removing wiring to/from PCE at point of entry/exit; and remove wiring to the panels (leave panel cables intact for reuse). This will make your wiring work easier and neater. Leave the panels, PCE and batteries in place.

In quarters: IF the small system is functioning (providing reliable power for at least the day time), leave wiring in place and add new wiring beside it (solar contractors will remove later). Note: if a system has clearly failed and wiring is not removed, rather left for the solar contracts - this is cause for penalty at the time of final payment.

In classrooms and other school buildings: Remove all the old wiring. Assure teachers that reliable 24 hour power will be connected soon.

In the office or staff rooms: If the small solar is viable and being used, leave the wiring in place and install new beside it.

Expect to be removing old wiring from most school rooms and from at least half of the teachers’ quarters.

Should there be disputes - contact ITF office.manager@itstime.org.au and we will resolve with the school.

Report:
Upload images of the works in each quarters and school building. These images are stored in this one QC entry, so label each image starting with the building name, for example, Q1: cable removed; Hostel 2: panels disconnected; B3: cable removed.
Where cabling is left in a room, please indicate the reason why, for example, Q4 system is delivering good power. less

Waste is an important issue for ITF and where possible we avoid adding to the waste load in the communities - as much as is practical waste will be removed from site for reuse, recycling or best practice disposal.
Assessment of waste removed is valuable for ITF and funders going forward. At the completion of the job please indicate the number of the following removed from site. No need to exact measure the meters of cable removed, but a good estimate is required:
- Light fittings
- GPOs and switches
- Main boards and sub boards
- Pillar boxes
- Approximate total length (m) of cable removed (get a close estimate without laying out the cable and exactly measuring it)
The following are usually the responsibility of the solar contractor, but enter if needed:
- Number of batteries (excluding small device batteries)
- Approximate kgs of batteries
- Solar panels
- PCE units
Any revenue from reuse or recycled material is retained by the contractor - this does not require reporting.
Reporting - as above and:
Indicate where the waste is to be recycled or disposed of.
Upload images of the waste piles.
Upload an image of loaded waste leaving the island. less

The contractor is welcome to provide a branding sticker no larger than 150mm x 100mm (if you have a printed version already that exceeds this provide it to us for assessment - small variances will be considered). Email the office manager office.manager@itstime.org.au for delivery instructions. When the Main Board is installed we will adhere it the bottom right of the cabinet and provide you with an image (because it is likely that the Main Board will not be installed until after general electrical contractor has moved on).
No stickers are to be put on inverters or batteries (ITF will put large stickers there indicating contact, maintenance procedures and detailed instructions of the school's responsibilities to care for the system).
Note you are welcome to share the story on social media etc. but you must mention it is an Its Time Foundation and you are a chosen delivery partner.

In locations where the ground prohibits penetrating earth electrodes to a depth of 1.2m, an alternative copper strip electrode method is to be installed. This method uses 25mm sq bare copper cable buried in a horizontal trench laid at a depth of 0.3-0.5m cover with a minimum horizontal length of 3m.
