About this file
This document provides site information for a Phased Array Radar Test Article performance work statement. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration owns three S-Band radars and a far field calibration tower in the vicinity of the planned site for the PAR Test Article within the Radar Test Facility. The proposed site is located on land leased from the University of Oklahoma research campus. It must be placed along the line of sight between two existing NOAA radars to minimize obstructions and blockage. Existing instrumentation will be removed from the lease parcel prior to award. The performance work statement requires the PAR Test Article and Radar Test Facility, including a security fence and parking lot, to be constructed within specified dimensions of the 240-foot by 285-foot leased area in the designated southwest corner. The successful offeror must return areas outside this scope within the lease boundary to their pre-existing condition upon delivery.

Phased Array Radar Test Article Performance Work Statement - Appendix B
Site Information
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) currently owns three (3) S-Band radars in the vicinity of the planned site for the PAR Test Article (aka Radar Test Article or RTA) within the Radar Test Facility (RTF). These current radars include KCRI (a WSR-88D supported by the NWS Radar Operations Center for test and evaluation), KOUN (a research WSR-88D supported by NSSL), and the Advanced Technology Demonstrator (ATD; supported by NSSL) phased array radar. NOAA also owns a far field calibration tower that is used with the ATD.
Figure 1 shows the relative location of the existing NOAA S-Band radars and the proposed lease outline (yellow). The proposed RTA/RTF shall be placed along the ATD-KCRI line of sight to minimize obstructions and blockage for the
RTA.
Figure B-1: Overview of the NOAA radars and layout of the proposed lease.
Access to the leased area would be through the parking lot at the ATD site (the existing light pole at the south end of ATD parking lot will be moved prior to contract award). The access road must cross a drainage ditch and shall not impede water flow. No part of the RTA/RTF shall impede Merkle Creek which flows south of the lease area. The lease site is on the University of Oklahoma (OU) research campus and utility service (natural gas, electric, water, network) shall be coordinated with OU Facilities. All construction and staging activities must be contained within the lease boundary.
There is existing instrumentation in the southwest portion of the lease parcel that will be removed prior to contract award (see Figure B-2). The instrumentation areas (highlighted in red) outside the lease parcel will remain and shall not be disturbed by construction. The RTA/RTF shall be placed in the southwest corner of the lease boundary as close to the ATD-to-KCRI line-of-sight as possible (to minimize obstructions and blockage of the RTA) and as far to the southwest of the lease area as possible (in order to lessen impact on wind flow to the OK Mesonet site shown in Figure B-2).

Figure B-2: Close up view of the lease area and areas of interest around the lease area.
The north-south access corridor is 170-ft wide and the east-west corridor is 95-ft wide (see Figure B-3) to accommodate the access road. The RTA/RTF (along with the security fence perimeter) and the parking lot shall be placed on the 240-ft by 285-ft parcel. Please note other RTF requirements in the Performance Work Statement. Areas outside the RTA/RTF site, parking lot, and access road and within the lease boundary must be returned to pre-existing condition prior to delivery.
