A.1 STATEMENT OF WORK_rv1

Subscription Television Service

1. Service Identification: This requirement is for basic and expanded subscription television service for the El Paso VA Health Care System (ELPVAHCS) main facility located at 5001 N. Piedras St., El Paso, TX 79930, and corresponding Community Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs):

Total

2. Scope of Work. The El Paso VA Health Care System (ELPVAHCS) has a requirement to provide cable/satellite television services, equipment, and labor as described in the Statement of Work. The provider shall comply with all safety and security requirements and regulations applicable to the provider's activities at the specified location.

a. The provider shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and services necessary to provide cable/satellite television services to the ELPVAHCS located at 5001 N. Piedras St., El Paso, TX., and its corresponding CBOCs. The provider shall furnish all satellite receivers and/or cable boxes needed to provide service to the facility. This will include more than one receiver/cable box per building if needed to provide access to other television sets.

b. The provider shall provide the ability to change the channel on each television and to be able to watch different programming on each television at the same time. Splitting the signal to other televisions in the building is not acceptable.

c. The provider will furnish the option to upgrade reception hardware at a minimal cost (i.e., capability for Digital Dolby sound, HDTV decoding, and Personal Video Recording capability, etc.), and said cost will be determined through negotiations between the provider and the government.

d. Providers must allow for expansion to new government-owned facilities. Currently, the existing commercial cable/satellite service provider services all the cable/satellite infrastructures at this location. Therefore, the prospective television-programming provider must furnish the necessary infrastructure to distribute the television programming signal to all designated facilities.

e. In instances where there is no existing cable/satellite infrastructure, the provider will furnish and install all needed equipment at a rate acceptable to both parties via a contract modification.

3. Specific Tasks - Subscription Television Channel Lineup: The Department of Veterans Affairs recognizes that Federal law prohibits the Government from requiring specific programming on the cable/satellite television system. As allowed under 47 U.S.C. 544 (b)(2), the Department of Veterans Affairs is requesting that the provided programming fall under the following broad categories: Local Channels | 24 Hour News | Weather | Sports Stations | Super Stations | Family Favorites | Government Channels

a. The selected provider agrees to provide the broad categories of programming described above. If the provider makes any change in programming services offered or channel positions, the provider shall give the Government a 30-day written notice in advance of such changes. Examples of channels that fall under these categories are listed below:

ESPN / TNT / USA Network / Lifetime Television / FOX News / TBS / Bravo Home & Garden TV (HGTV) / The Learning Channel (TLC) / KEYU - Telemundo KACV – PBS / C Span / KAMR (NBC) / Inspiration / EWTN (Catholic Network) EWTN Español / OWN / Trinity Broadcasting (TBN) / CNN / ABC Family / A&E Food Network / FOX Sports Southwest / FX / Comedy Central / The History Channel Galavision / ESPN2 / Discovery Channel / C Span 2 / American Movie Classics (AMC) / Sci-Fi Channel / Turner Classic Movies / TruTv / Disney Channel / KFDA (CBS) / KCIT (FOX 14) / Animal Planet / KVII (The CW) / KCPN (UPN 65) / KVII (ABC) / LMN / Community Channel / E! Entertainment / The Weather Channel / Travel Channel / CNBC / MSNBC / Univision

b. Additional channels are to be added upon request and availability. Approval for the addition of channels can only come from the Contracting Officer.

c. The provider shall ensure that the system is designed, installed, and operated in a manner that meets or exceeds the industry technical standards. These standards are mandatory and shall apply to all classes of television channels. The provider shall at all times maintain and operate the system in strict compliance and will comply with the following:

i. The provider recognizes that signal leakage or other interference, including emission, radiation, or induction, from the satellite system that affects the Government's communications or healthcare facilities, or other electronic device or equipment located on Government property may disrupt or endanger healthcare activities and may pose a threat to the safety of both the public and VA personnel. The provider shall take all necessary actions, including testing, maintenance, and coordination with Government personnel, to prevent any such leakage or interference. Upon receiving notice of such leakage or interference from whatever source, including the provider's own testing and monitoring activities, the provider shall immediately take corrective action at its own expense to eliminate the leakage or interference. Compliance with the technical standards set forth or incorporated in this contract shall not relieve the provider of its obligations arising under this subparagraph.

d. The Contracting Officer Representative (COR) shall approve all fiber and cable/satellite installations before commencement of work.

e. Period of Performance:

Base Year: October 6, 2025 – October 5, 2026 Option Year 1: October 6, 2026 – October 5, 2027 Option Year 2: October 6, 2027 – October 5, 2028 Option Year 3: October 6, 2029 – October 5, 2029 Option Year 4: October 6, 2029 – October 5, 2030

4. CATV/Satellite Service and Maintenance

a. Service shall be provided in accordance with industry standards. The provider shall respond to reports of trouble within twenty-four (24) hours. Weekends and holidays shall not be included in the twenty-four (24) hour period for the administrative areas. Weekends and holidays shall be included if the outage is determined to be in a public or lodging area, as determined by the COR. If the trouble is determined to be caused by factors not attributed to the provider’s equipment or service, the provider shall notify the Government of the nature of the outage

b. The provider shall provide the COR with a redline drawing of any new installations within 10 working days of the completion of the installation. Failure to provide redline (as-built) drawings may result in a delay of payments. Periodically, the government will provide the provider copies of the base maps, including CATV locations. The provider shall review these maps, make corrections, and return the redlined drawings within 15 working days to the Contracting Officer. The government requires the revisions in an electronic MICROSTATION format.

At the direction of the COR, the provider shall conduct tests and measurements to demonstrate that the system meets or exceeds the industry technical standards. The COR may direct such tests and measurements twice each calendar year and whenever the COR has reasonable cause to believe that the system does not meet the industry technical standards. Such tests and measurements shall be conducted by the provider at the provider’s own expense and with its equipment for any and all activated channels. Immediately upon completion of any such test or measurement, the provider shall provide the results of such test or measurement, including raw data, summaries, and conclusions, to the COR.

d. CATV/Satellite Installation: All new and initial cable/satellite installations for the ELPVAHCS will be at the direction of the Contracting Officer (CO). Any installations completed without the express written consent of the CO are completed at the provider’s own risk without guarantee of payment.

5. Performance Monitoring

a. The COR or designated representative (including a private cable/satellite TV expert or consultant) may inspect and conduct tests and measurements of the provider's equipment and facilities. Except in the case of an emergency, the COR shall conduct such inspections, tests, and measurements in a manner that will minimize any disruption of the provider's operations.

b. If requested, the manager of the provider's CATV/satellite system shall be available for periodic meetings at least quarterly, or as needed, with the COR and supporting personnel to review the provider's performance under this Contract.

b. The Government recognizes that, over the term of this subsequent contract, television technology, the regulation of television, and the programming services available for distribution will undergo continual change. The technology, equipment, and services required by this SOW may become obsolete, uneconomical, or otherwise disadvantageous to the government. The provider and the government agree to consider, in good faith, proposals submitted by either party for modification of this SOW to permit the introduction of new equipment and technology or to otherwise improve CATV/satellite service at ELPVAHCS. Modifications under the subsequent contract will conform to FCC guidelines and standard industry practices.

c. Length of Service shall be for one base year with 4 one-year options of continuing the service. The Government may add or terminate television services at any building, outlet, or drop without penalty. There shall be no “term” or minimum length of service required for television services at any location. There shall be no termination fee for terminating service, and if the Government has prepaid for any service, the provider will reimburse the Government the appropriate pro rata share of that cost.

9. Identification, Parking, Smoking, and Regulations:

a. The Contractor’s personnel will wear visible identification issued by the ELPVHCS Security and Police Service at all times while on the premises.
