2.24. Identification of Contractor Employees. All Contractor personnel attending meetings, answering Government telephones and working in other situations where their status is not obvious to third parties, are required to identify themselves as such to avoid creating an impression that they are Government employees. The Contractor should ensure that all documents or reports produced by Contractor personnel are suitably marked as Contractor products or that Contractor participation is appropriately disclosed. The Contractor’s status as a “Contractor” shall be predominantly displayed in all POC respondence types (to include signature blocks on e-mail) and dealings with Government or non-Government entities/ Contractor personnel shall wear identification badges distinguishing themselves as such. The badges shall have the company name, employee name and the word “Contractor” displayed. The Contractor shall retrieve all identification media (including vehicle passes) from their employees who depart employment for any reason.

9.1. All fiber optic cables shall be single-mode, suitable for outdoor/underground and indoor plenum-rated use as required. It is acceptable for the Contractor to use a higher capacity cable (e.g., substituting 96-strand for 72-strand) if economically beneficial or more readily available.

9.2. All installations shall be performed in accordance with TIA/EIA standards.

9.3. The Contractor shall install a rack-mountable fiber optic patch panel for all cable terminations. Standard 19-inch racks are already available in the communications rooms for the installation of these patch panels.

9.4. Fibers shall be terminated with Angled Physical Contact (APC) LC connectors. All individual fiber strands (i.e., all 12 strands and all 72 or 96 strands) must be fully terminated in the patch panels inside each building's communications room.

9.5. All newly installed cables and strands shall be clearly identified and labeled. The Contractor shall apply labels at both terminal ends of the cable, on the cables as they enter and exit every maintenance hole, and directly on all service loops. All labeling must be machine-printed and comply with the current TIA-606-D standard.

11.0. Field Conditions and Responsibilities

11.1. Existing Maintenance Holes. The Contractor shall be responsible for pumping out MH. Water from MH shall be drained onto grass, when possible, to act as a natural filter; then it may be pumped out onto the surrounding ground, as long as there is no impact to roads, driveways, or vehicle traffic. Mud and debris shall be disposed of IAW base requirements. If the Contractor comes across a MH with contaminated water hazardous to health, the Contractor shall cease operations and immediately notify the 156 CS Project Manager and Base Safety Office. As the 156 Wing personnel do not perform confined space entries, the Contractor shall be solely responsible for utilizing their own OSHA-compliant safety and hazardous material protocols to mitigate the hazard prior to resuming operations.

11.2. Protection of Existing Infrastructure. The Contractor shall take precautions to protect existing infrastructure. If a utility is damaged attributed to the fault of the Contractor, then the Contractor shall repair and return the utility back to the condition prior to the damage.

11.3. Measurements. Distances provided in this SOW are for estimates only and should NOT be used for ordering materials or determining duct lengths. The Contractor is responsible for taking measures prior to starting work or ordering materials.

11.4. Material Disposal. The Contractor is responsible for the proper removal and off-base disposal of all excess installation materials, trash, and debris generated during the execution of this contract.

11.5. Optional Removal of Obsolete Cabling. The removal and disposal of existing obsolete or decommissioned cabling is not within the primary scope of this project. However, to facilitate a smoother installation process, the Contractor is authorized, at their own expense, to remove and dispose of obsolete cabling from the designated pathways. Under no circumstances shall the Contractor cut, splice, or remove any existing cable without first obtaining explicit, written verification and approval from the 156 CS Project Manager that the specific cable is decommissioned and safe to remove. The Contractor shall assume full liability and cost for the immediate repair of any active utilities damaged or severed during this process. Any obsolete cabling that is removed must also be disposed of off-base in accordance with local environmental regulations.
