2. STATEMENT OF WORK:
Provide and install conduit, raceways, seal horizontal and vertical penetrations, set up infection control to meet the ICRA (Infection Control Risk Assessment), install fire stopping systems and other work to support NextGen WiFi Contractor’s complete functioning AP’s after installation on the Sheridan WY, VA campus as shown and described in the project drawings, specifications, and this SOW. A list of required conduit paths and a description of work are provided in SOW Attachment 1. The drawings show the floor plans of the buildings, and the locations of APs.
Work shall include:
1. Installation of 48 conduit paths installed by the Contractor. This includes all components for a complete functioning system such as hangers, gang boxes for the mounting of Access Point (AP) devices, etc... All conduit ends shall be terminated so there are no rough edges.
2. Installation of 11 Angle brackets for mounting of the Access AP devices. AP devices shall be provided by the VA or the NextGen WiFi Contractor, but the horizontal mounting brackets shall be provided and installed by the Contractor. Mounting Brackets shall be installed so that there is no exposed wire showing which may require minor modification of the Mounting Bracket. See Submittal Requirements in Paragraph 3.1.
3. Other estimated quantities are in the Table below. The cumulative total of each column is considered accurate within +/- 20%. The Contractor shall field verify and notify the CO in writing with proof if quantities vary from what is shown below before the work is started. Any work done beyond what is shown by this SOW, Drawings and Specifications will be done at the Contractor own risk. No change in contract will be considered by the Government if the cumulative total of each column is within +/- 20%.
| Bldg No., Floor No., AP No. & Other |
| Estimated No. of Penetrations |
| Estimated Linear Ft of Conduit |
| Estimated Linear Ft of Cat 6a Cable |
2. The Contractor shall seal penetration caused by the installation of wire pathways and cabling of the AT&T NextGen WiFi Contractor. The Contractor shall seal all wall penetrations. Rated walls shall be sealed with fire stopping systems. Existing conduit paths between floors/IT rooms will not have the capacity for more cable and new conduit paths will need to be created. Note that tools and materials on the VA campus and buildings can never be left unattended and must be either in use or locked up.
3. The Contractor shall install 48 CAT 6A plenum rated cable runs from APs to nearest IT rooms and terminating in a patch panel. The AP side must have an RJ45 plug so that the VA provided AP can mount and just plug in. The Sheridan VA is planning to soon relocate wiring closets, so additional lengths of Cat 6a cable are in the contract to accommodate this future change.
4. There are 158 pathways at the Sheridan VAMC plus 51 at the CBOC’s and the Water Filtration Plant that the AT&T NexGen WiFi will be installing. The Contractor will install infection dust control barriers, remove ceilings, provide negative air and other work in advance for AT&T NextGen WiFi Contractor according to the Infection Control Risk Assessment ICRAs shown in the matrix of Attachment 1. The AT&T NextGen WiFi Contractor will perform their work during the period of 10/3/22 – 10/28/22. The Contractor will coordinate with AT&T NextGen WiFi Contract Manager and make a schedule to prepare the work areas in advance, so the area is ready for the AT&T NextGen WiFi Contractor to install their cable and pathways. Upon completion of AT&T NextGen WiFi Contractor’s work, then the Contractor will seal all wall and floor/ceiling penetrations, install Fire Stopping systems in fire rated walls, replace ceiling panels, reclip fire rated ceiling panels, paint and patch and other work needed to restore what the AT&T NextGen opened to do their work. Penetrations between floors in all buildings are to have Fire Stopping systems. Walls into Wire Closets are rated walls. Where cabling sags or touches ceiling panels, then the Contractor must install J-hooks to prevent this from happening. Each work area will be cleaned up by the Contractor in accordance with the IRCA requirements as well as remove barricades and equipment from work area. The Contractor shall also use Asbestos methods of construction as per specifications should asbestos be encountered in locations identified in the Sheridan VAMC - 2019 Asbestos Management Operations Plan as containing asbestos.

Any ceiling tile damaged by the Contractor or AT&T NextGen WiFi Contractor will be replaced by the Contractor. The Ceiling Type and Rated Wall documents have been included in the SOW Attachments.
