SECTION I – THE SCHEDULE

1. Background

As part of the ongoing foreign assistance agreement between the Government of the United States of

America (USG) and the Government of Lebanon (GOL), the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law

Enforcement Affairs (INL) is currently building a five‐floor dormitory building of 2748 sq.m. and a six‐ floor classroom building of 2876 sq.m at the Lebanese Internal Security Forces (ISF) Aramoun training academy in the city of Aramoun.

The project is an element of the EP2 program that is a combination of training, equipping, and construction activities. The goal of the EP2 program is to improve the professionalism of ISF

Gendarmerie units outside the greater Beirut area. INL has invested in and achieved many successes during the last 10 years of programming centered on the professionalization of the Lebanese police. The

EP2 program will expand the presence of a professional police force throughout Lebanon, focused specifically on the Gendarmerie.

The construction phase of the project is scheduled to be completed in September 2021.

INL seeks in this action the supply and installation the IT and Technical Equipment and Lecture Camera for the classrooms.

2. Scope of Work

The requested goods are detailed in the below bill of materials including the specifications and quantities for each item.

The goods shall be delivered to site in good conditions and installed according to the project’s design drawings.

The requested period of performance for the imported items is 90 days including ordering, shipment, custom clearance, delivery to site, and installation.

A. The contractor shall provide and install IT and Audio Equipment for the classrooms. The requested bill of materials is listed in Sub Section 3. Specifications

B. The contractor shall provide and install the Lecture Camera System. The requested bill of materials is listed in Sub Section 3. Specifications

1) The Lecture Camera system, has two core targets:

a‐ to be able to monitor the training by the HQ for evaluation, without direct interference in the classroom.

b‐ to be able to watch the session live from home or from work, for the students, with them interacting live with the trainer. It is useful, especially if the coronavirus pandemic

IT equipment for classrooms Page 6 of 58 continues, or for time‐saving and to reduce petrol consumption if the session is theoretical and doesn't have any practical training.

2) The proposed Lecture Camera system shall include:

a‐ Cameras: 8 rooms equipped with 8 fixed cameras filming the instructor.

b‐ Sound capture: To be able to capture the classroom sound, the instructor puts a wireless neck microphone, and if the students want to speak, they have a handheld wireless microphone. The sound output at the receiver is connected to a sound mixer and into the DVR. Classrooms could be equipped with speakers amplifying the sound coming from the microphones. Rechargeable batteries (AA or AAA or else) compatible with the wireless microphones a must to decrease the consumption of batteries.

c‐ Network: The image and the sound, get into the DVR which records all the data synchronically for each classroom (image + microphones). Data could be registered in the hard disks for latter investment, and could be watched live through web applications

(Zoom, The big blue button ...). The system should enable these software usability

(licensing for at least 5 years). The system communicates through a 32‐ports switch.

A PC controls the system output with a 32” screen. A UPS in case the building isn’t equipped with one or is not suitable for the system, should be installed.

d‐ IP ptz camera: The IP PTZ camera is to be installed in one classroom. In this case, there should be an additional AKG WMS 40 system (wireless neck microphone, and wireless handheld microphone), 2‐channel sound mixer, indoor speaker).

The two Mobile Wi‐Fi IP cameras compatible with the DVR system are requested for mobile filming.

3) The contractor shall be responsible for the complete system implementation and functionality, including licensing and training.

52.225‐19 Contractor Personnel in a Designated Operational Area or Supporting a Diplomatic or

Consular Mission Outside the United States (May 2020)

1. Requirement:

FAR clause 52.225‐19 "Contractor Personnel in a Designated Operational Area or Supporting a

Diplomatic or Consular Mission Outside the United States" paragraph (e)(2)(v) requires that all contractor personnel receive personal security training. The High Threat Security Overseas Seminar for

Contractors (HTSOS‐C) course described below meets this requirement unless the contract requires more intensive security courses.

The U.S. government is providing a High Threat Security Overseas Seminar for Contractors (HTSOS‐C) course to the contractor for use in training all U.S. citizens and Third Country National (TCN) personnel assigned to specified high risk locations. The contractor shall provide this training course to U.S. citizens and TCN employees expected to be at that location for more than one (1) day (see exceptions below).

The training is available in several languages and maybe conducted individually or in a classroom setting.

The CO will advise the contractor on how to obtain the electronic course at time of award. The training must be taken by the employee in pre‐deployment or within 15 days of being assigned to the hazardous location and every five years thereafter, or upon transfer to a new contract.

Exceptions: Contractor personnel who are required, per specific contract provisions, to take the State

Department’s Foreign Affairs Counter Threat (FACT) course will be considered to have met this requirement provided they have a valid, unexpired, completion certificate issued by the Diplomatic

Security Foreign Affairs Security Training Center. No other equivalent or substitute contractor security training is will be considered to have met this requirement.

The contractor shall file proof of each person trained in their contractor‐maintained personnel record and it must be available for inspection by the CO or COR upon demand. Since the training is good for five years, a training certificate should be provided to each trainee to use as proof of training for future positions.

The following locations applicable to this contract have a high safety risk and require HTSOS‐C training:

Beirut, Lebanon.
