1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

The Contractor shall use provide communications cable installation support for new furniture requirements designed in the Statement of Work Furniture Package associated with this attachment. A certified data cabling installer must meet the Installation Facility Standard (IFS) requirements in appendix G11.

1.1 Scope of Work

This Service will provide for sound management, installing, upgrading, re-routing, terminating, testing and removal of communications cable infrastructure at WPAFB as identified in the MOA.

1.1.1 The vendor will provide inter-building cable plant work to include installing, upgrading, re-routing, terminating, splicing, testing, removal, cable acceptance, inspection, and labeling documentation of copper and/or fiber optic cabling running through the manhole/hand-hole, duct systems and/or directly buried of copper and fiber optic cabling.

1.1.2 The vendor will provide intra-building cable plant work to include installing, upgrading, re-routing, removal, termination, inspection, testing, cable acceptance, inspection, labeling, documentation and installation/removal of copper and fiber optic cabling.

1.2 Requirements

1.2.1 Regulations and Guidance. The following standards will be used as applicable in the performance of this task. It is the vendor’s responsibility to obtain and adhere to all industry standards and best commercial practice documentation. A list of applicable standards is identified in section 1.3.3.

1.2.1.1 Base Facility Standard (BFS) or Installation Facility Standard (IFS), current version, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio OPR: 88 ABW/CE and 88 CS/SCX.

1. Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA)/Electronic Industries Association

(EIA) Standards (See Appendix B).

1.2.2 Site survey. A survey between the 88 ABW/CS and CE Interior Design, and the customer have already taken place. If required after Furniture Package Award, another walk through may be requested by the vendor/installer.

1.2.3 Schedule. The vendor will prepare a schedule showing the order in which the vendor proposes to perform the work and the dates on which the vendor contemplates starting and completing the salient features of the work.

1.2.3.1 The vendor will follow all requirements provided on the Telecommunication drawings supplied.

1.2.3.2 The vendor will have access to all available Base Civil Engineering (BCE) drawings, upon request, and base communications drawings to identify existing utilities and future utilities and/or construction, which impact the project. Base communications drawings will be supplied, when required. The drawings provided are For Official

Use Only and the vendor will not dispose of or destroy them in any manner. The

Vendor will verify the accuracy as applicable to the requirement and notify the

Government PM of inaccuracies or discrepancies.

1.2.4 Labeling. The Vendor will refer to the IFS for labeling requirements.

1.2.5 Pre-testing. The vendor will perform a pre-installation quality inspection of Fiber Optic

(FO) and copper cable on reels and already installed government cables prior to using.

1.2.5.1 The vendor will perform end-to-end testing on all installed communications cabling.

Installed copper cabling will be continuity tested for shorts, grounds, splice errors

(i.e., reverses, opens, transpositions and split pairs), and loop resistance. Installed fiber will be tested to ensure the light loss will not be greater than manufacturer's specifications for cable and properly connected connectors.

1.2.6 Post-testing. The vendor will perform end-to-end testing on all installed communications cabling. Installed copper cabling will be continuity tested for shorts, grounds, splice errors (i.e., reverses, opens, transpositions and split pairs), and loop resistance. All deficiencies will be corrected prior to government acceptance. All horizontal cabling will be end-to-end tested after all terminations have been accomplished to ensure they pass the applicable category specifications. Fiber optic cabling will have both Optical Time Domain Reflectometry (OTDR) and attenuation testing. Installed fiber will be tested to ensure the light loss will not be greater than manufacturer's specifications for cable and properly connected connectors. The Vendor will test all fiber optic cables and make sure that any fiber optic cabling that does not meet the fiber optic standard will be checked, troubleshot, fixed, and re-tested; any fiber optic cabling that can’t be fixed after troubleshooting will be re-installed and tested to meet fiber optic standards.

1.2.7 Test Results. The vendor will ensure the cable ID on the test results reflect the run locations as identified on the cable labels.

1.2.7.1 The vendor will provide post-testing results via electronic media (CD OR DVD) for review.

1.2.7.2 All test results will be verified by a Government 88 ABW/CS representative prior to the Final Inspection.

1.2.7.3 If the Government finds any discrepancies with the test results the vendor will be notified and have 2 business days to make the appropriate correction and return them to the Government PM.

1.2.8 Final Inspection. The 88 ABW/CS PM and customer will perform a final inspection with the vendor, confirming all task requirements were met.
