ORDER
To
The Additional Chief Secretary/ Principal Secretary/ Secretary ……. (All Departments)
District Magistrate (All) ………..
- It has been observed that during various State Programmes organised by different Government Departments and District Administrations, there is a requirement for temporary IT-related arrangements to be made by PWD West Bengal.
- Such requisitions are often received by PWD on very short notice, thus arranging the necessary set up and networking for flawless communication becomes a very challenging task.
- In most of such cases, PWD IT support is called for in time when partial tasks of IT related installations have been started/are underway by other agencies already engaged by the event organiser. This often leads to coordination gaps with high possibility for technical glitches.
Therefore, to rule out any possible situation of major IT related technical failure or coordination gaps in networking or non-synchronization in electronic devices/components used during these events; in partial modification of Memo No. 52/ACS/PWD dated 29/06/2020, it is hereby decided that in future PWD shall undertake IT-related parts of the said works, either at the State or District level, subjected to the following conditions:-
1) In case when PWD IT support is required, P.W.D shall execute the entire bunch of the following temporary IT related works to rule out any coordination gaps in networking/wiring and quality synchronization –
- i. Video Camera set-up;
- ii. Live feed and virtual set-up, including location-to-location and location-to-social-media feeds;
- iii. Audio system set up;
- iv. CCTV surveillance;
- v. Arranging Internet Leased Line;
- vi. LED screen; and
- vii. Public Address System outside the premises (if required)
2) For all such programmes, the requisition shall be made to PWD IT wing at least 5 (five) working days prior to the scheduled date of the programme, so as to enable PWD to make necessary arrangements in a timely and befitting manner.
- The respective requisitioning authority has to ensure all other supporting infrastructure, which are essential for temporary IT setup to function properly, to be ready well in advance prior to temporary installation of IT equipment and services.
- Suitable representative(s) of the requisitioning authority may also remain present at audio & video switching location during the entire program for proper co-ordination during the live sessions as per their requirement.
All other provisions laid down in memo No. 52/ACS/PWD dated 29/06/2020 shall remain same.
