SPECIFIC AUTHORITY
Florida Statutes Chapter 240
Florida Administrative Code Chapter 6C2
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of these procedures is to describe the many telecommunications services available and the policies that govern the University community through the Office of Telecommunications (OTC). The community includes all departments, faculty, staff and students both on and off the main Tallahassee campus as well as State agencies and specific outside entities. The procedures provide information on obtaining services, descriptions of services, technical definitions, informational sources, contacts, organizational structure, and billing procedures.
OVERVIEW
The OTC is the coordinator and provider of telecommunications transport services on and off the University's campus. This includes, but is not limited to, all infrastructure of copper, coax and fiber wiring within and between campus buildings, calling features, CATV, consulting and operator services, local dial tone, directed moves, emergency telephones, frequency coordination, outside plant, pay telephones, telephone instrumentation, voice and video conferencing, wireless technologies, voice mail, long distance services, paging, 2-way radio, DSL, and Access control.
Policy Statement
The OTC's goal is to connect our University community with global communication solutions in a customer-focused, business-oriented environment, emphasizing service excellence. The OTC is also charged with managing, coordinating and providing all telecommunications transport services in a manner that promotes the overall University mission. Because OTC is an auxiliary service, it is necessary to charge for administrative services.
OP-H-4A UNIVERSITY REQUESTS FOR TELECOMMUNICATIONS PRODUCTS OR SERVICES
The OTC is responsible for the selection and approval for all orders that pertain to telecommunication services. Most products and services, listed in the Products and Services Section (B), may be acquired through OTC.
A-1 Directed Moves
A directed move is the mandatory relocation of a department due to planned or unforeseen circumstances and is mandated by Space Utilization and Analysis.
1. Data Lines - Funding for the relocation of data lines associated with a directed move is the responsibility of the department.
2. Voice Lines - Space Utilization and Analysis authorization enables the OTC to properly relocate and bill the associated charges to a specific budget allocated for directed moves. Space Utilization and Analysis will provide a packet that contains all pertinent information necessary to complete a directed move. Directed moves provide for exact replacement of existing voice services and do not pay for the installation of any telecommunication infrastructure (voice/data outlets).
A-2 Office of Telecommunications Requests
All requests for new products, wiring, equipment or telephone service additions, deletions, moves, or changes in line Class of Service and budget number's for billing purposes must be submitted on an on-line Telecommunications Service Request (TSR) via OTC's website at www.otc.fsu.edu. All orders must have the name of an authorized individual that can be confirmed by our Customer Service Representatives using the official University's Authorized Signature List. If an FSU department requests telecomm service from an outside vendor through the University Purchasing Department, Purchasing will forward the request to OTC for prior approval of purchase. The Department of Management Services (DMS) must approve purchase orders of $25,000 or more.
1. Changes to Orders - Departmental Representatives have thirty (30) days to make minor adjustments to an order at no additional charge as long as new services or products are not added. Changes resulting in additional charges must be coordinated through the Departmental Budget Authority and OTC Representative. Telephone technicians are not authorized to deviate from their service order in any way unless approved by the Authorized Representative.
2. Communication Purchase or Lease Authorization (CPLA) - Any request to purchase communications equipment and/or labor (under normal circumstances, not required for purchases of $15,000.00 or less, as set by Category Two of Chapter 287.017 FS) must be accompanied by a CPLA form. The OTC Customer Service Area will process this form.
3. Communication Service Authorization (CSA) - Any request for regulated telephone services through the telephone company (DMS approval not required if less than $15,000.00 as set by Category Two of Chapter 287.017 FS or for less than 25 lines) must be accompanied by Form CSA. The OTC Customer Service Area will process this form.
4. Consulting Services and Estimates - OTC Customer Service Representatives provide Consulting Services and Estimates, when requested, at no charge to FSU customers. Estimates are valid for sixty (60) business days. Although every effort is made to keep actual costs within 10% of the estimate, the work will be billed on a time and material basis.
5. Sponsored Research Requests - Any request submitted under a Contracts or Grants budget number may be transmitted directly to OTC on-line. If OTC determines that annual expenditures resulting from this order will exceed $1000, a request will be submitted to the Office of Sponsored Research for prior approval. Please refer to the Sponsored Research website (link) for information on allowable and restricted expenditure constraints on Contracts and Grants budgets.
6. Order Timeframes - OTC is committed to making every effort to complete orders within ten (10) or less business days after receipt and approval. Some exceptions apply and may take longer, such as requests involving more complex changes, construction work involving cable line rearrangements, or other additions.
A-3 New Construction/Renovations
1. The OTC has the responsibility of design, development, approval, installation, maintenance and management of telecommunications wiring and infrastructure in all FSU properties. This would include, but is not limited to, voice, video and data infrastructure with fiber, copper or coaxial cabling. This also includes telecommunication closets, raceways, conduit systems, duct banks and the campus telecommunications manhole system. Such responsibility implies a first right of refusal by OTC on all wiring design, development, approval, installation, maintenance and management. The OTC assures that this mandate is carried out in two main ways:a. The OTC, in cooperation with Campus Design and Facilities Planning and Construction, review design documents in several phases of completion to assure their compliance to local and national standards and codes. Typically design development, 50% and 100% drawings, are all reviewed and input on changes are implemented throughout the process.
b. The OTC, in cooperation with the FSU's IMR Manager, ACNS, the Campus Networking Committee and AIS, has developed the Florida State University Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard. Design professionals, departments and electrical engineers have ready access to this standard to reference when questions or conflicts should arise in any construction or renovation process. Through close interaction during the design of new projects, the periodic review of current renovation projects and future campus planning, the entire design team assures that uniform, cost-effective and high quality telecommunications infrastructures are consistently installed.
A-4 Telecommunication Infrastructure Compliance
Departments are not authorized to install their own telecommunications and low voltage wiring without utilizing the campus telecommunications infrastructure. In the event that unauthorized installations take place, the responsible party will be required to bear all expenses necessary for OTC to ensure compliance with the University Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard, revision number 2.2e, dated October 12, 2005.

In some instances, long-distance calls may be more expensive than calls made through the SUNCOM network. While the use of cellular phones is more expensive than conventional telephones, improved efficiency resulting from the use of cellular telephones may provide an overall savings. State-owned and leased cellular telephones should not be used for personal calls. In the event that personal calls are made or received, the employee will be responsible for reimbursement to the University for that usage.2. Pagers - Are available to departments upon request.
b. Orders for Purchase or Lease of Cellular Phones - To purchase or lease a cellular phone, the request must be made via a Telecommunications Service Request (TSR). This signature indicates agreement that the request is justified for the use of cellular equipment for a specific authorized public purpose, and that the appropriate departmental personnel have read and understand University procedures for reimbursement for personal use of cellular equipment, and University rules and procedures for collection and handling of cash.
c. Approval of Business Use and Reimbursement for Personal Use of Cellular Phones - Telephone statements showing a detail of cellular phone usage are sent to each account project leader on a monthly basis. Within thirty (30) days of receipt, the department should do a complete review of the bills, including the following steps:i. The budget manager (or designee) should distribute the applicable portion of the statement (showing a detail of calls made) to each cellular user, who should indicate which calls were business related (including detailed explanations as required by each department) and which were for personal use. An example of a monthly tracking sheet of cell phone use is available in a downloadable Excel format.
ii. Once the employee has appropriately designated each call, the budget manager (or designee) should review and approve the designation. For cellular services that include packaged minutes:- If personal usage does not cause the packaged minutes to be exceeded, no reimbursement is necessary.iii. The employee must submit a check (payable to Florida State University) for the total amount of reimbursable personal usage. For cost efficiency, Department Business Managers shall periodically review the choice of billing options considering:
- If personal usage causes the packaged minutes to be exceeded, then personal usage is assessed at the rate of the excess minute rate. This reimbursement will be applied to the amount of personal use or the amount of excess minutes usage incurred, whichever is less.
Personal usage includes non-business related usage communications to include both voice and data.- The demonstrated need for cellular telephone for each specific user;iv. The department must collect and handle these payments in accordance with University Cash Collection and Handling Rules. Payments should be coded as an expense reimbursement. If an employee fails to submit the reimbursement check within the allocated time period, department management should be informed, and the account should be turned over to the University's Accounts Receivable office for collection.
- The most economical billing option for each specific user; and
- It is not allowable for a department to consistently allow personal usage to force the use of a higher valued service.
At a minimum, this documented review should occur on an annual basis.
v. Payments for personal use and amounts designated as business use should be reconciled on a monthly basis to departmental ledgers.

D-1 Responsibility for Telecommunication Services Usage and Charges Incurred
It is the responsibility of each individual department and respective department head to verify that the University Telephone network is being used for University and State business. The OTC can provide the tools needed to monitor such activity, but assumes no responsibility for inappropriate use of the SUNCOM network, other long distance department calling cards, or other telecommunication services such as cellular telephone airtime and pager services. One method that can be used is to restrict toll access on specific telephone lines. Another method would be to provide authorization numbers that could be dialed prior to the long distance call. The statement would then be presented to the person assigned to that authorization number. Various security methods are in place to prevent improper use of authorization numbers. If charges for personal usage (for example: for long distance calls or cellular airtime) are included on the department's statement, the department must ensure that reimbursement is recovered. (Procedures for cash handling are available from the Office of the University Controller web site at:
http://www.vpfa.fsu.edu/policies/controller/2c-1.html).
D-2 Charges for Telephone Equipment and Telecommunications Service
The charges for telephone equipment and services are listed on the monthly telecommunications statement detail that supports the monthly departmental ledger entries. All services are subject to administrative fees. These charges are divided into the following four categories:
1. Non-Recurring Charges: These costs are generally incurred when products or services are added or modified. The charges include all labor, parts, and materials.
2. Recurring Monthly Charges: This represents the monthly charges for all telephone lines and supplemental equipment or services. Basic line charges are not prorated for partial months of service. Long distance charges, incurred under any of the previously described long distance options, will be billed appropriately by OTC when received from the vendor. The most current monthly line rates may be viewed at http://www.otc.fsu.edu/Department/Cost/BSCost.html.
D-3 Fraudulent Calls
If billing for a call that is suspected to have been made through fraudulent means appears on a department's bill, the following steps should be taken:
1. Make a copy of the bill.
2. Highlight the calls suspected to be fraudulent.
3. Send this highlighted copy to the attention of the Accounting section in OTC, along with a contact name and telephone number. OTC will interface with the budget account coordinator and the telecommunications provider.
D-4 Responsibility for Other Expenses Relating to Equipment Installations, Moves and Changes
