C.1 PURPOSE

The Air/Ground Voice Communications (AGVC) Program Office (PO) is responsible for Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) programs that support air/ground voice communications programs in the National Airspace System (NAS). Currently, these programs include: the Next Generation Air/Ground Communications (NEXCOM) Phase 2, Radio Control Equipment (RCE), Communications Facilities Sustainment (CFS), Communications Radio Frequency Elimination (RFI), and Airport Cable Loop Sustainment (ACLS). The NEXCOM Radio Deployment Program (RDP) is an integrated fabrication and construction/installation effort to modernize FAA radio communications with new Very High Frequency (VHF) and Ultra High Frequency (UHF) radios.

The AGVC PO is utilizing the Eastern Service Area (ESA), Central Service Area (CSA), and Western Service Area (WSA) Communication Engineering Centers (CEC) for engineering, field implementation and upgrading of radio communication equipment serving FAA facilities across the US. An important element of the NEXCOM RDP involves: (1) producing of pre-wired communication racks that will be used in various FAA communication facilities in the NAS and (2) providing technical personnel to perform engineering support, technical management, site preparation, and installation of these racks along with the communication equipment at FAA facilities in the NAS. The racks are designed for the air traffic control VHF and UHF radios and supporting components such as RCEs, power strips, Radio Frequency (RF) bodies and patch panels.

The purpose of this contract is to acquire contractor services to assist the AGVC PO with NEXCOM and other A/G communications programs. These services, which will be implemented under direction of AGVC PO and other FAA entities, will provide support for the three FAA Service Areas in providing voice communication capabilities at FAA facilities. This contract will provide communications rack fabrication, engineering, and NEXCOM field construction/installation support. The types of facilities involved include, but are not limited to, Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC), Remote Communications Air to Ground (RCAG), Back-Up Emergency Communications (BUEC), Automated Flight Service Stations (AFSS), Flight Service Stations (FSS), Remote Communications Outlets (RCO), Remote Transmitter/Receiver (RTR), Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON), Radar Approach Control (RAPCON), and Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT). The contractor will perform equipment installations at FAA specified sites. Rack fabrication work will be performed at the FAA’s Rack Fabrication Facility at the Ontario System Support Center (SSC) in Ontario, CA. Additionally, this contract supports major ACLS Fiber Optic Transmission Systems (FOTS) projects, ACLS site surveys, CFS projects, and other AGVC programs.

C.2 SCOPE OF WORK

This contract involves a combination of program management, technical engineering, equipment fabrication, logistics, and installation services to provide voice communication capabilities at FAA specified facilities. The tasks under AGVC for this contract fall within four basic areas of support: (1) Program Management, (2) Property/Material Management, (3) Fabrication/Engineering, and (4) Construction/Installation Floating Crew Support.

C.3 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS

Guidance for this work is reflected in the Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) Attachment J2 and the FAA directives and industry standards in Attachment J3. In the event of conflict between the documents referenced in the Attachments in Section J and this SOW, the contents of this SOW will take precedence.

C.4 CONTRACT MANAGEMENT

The contractor must provide contract management support in accordance with (IAW) the requirements in this section. Contract management support includes overall contract management, quality system management, health and safety management, contract EVM, meetings/conferences, periodic contract

C-2 reporting, property/warehouse/management, rack fabrication management, and construction/installation support management.

C.4.2 FINANCIAL/PROGRAM CONTROL/EARNED VALUE MANAGEMENT

The Contractor must continuously monitor performance of services provided under this contract relative to cost, schedule, and technical performance. As ordered by the Government, the Contractor must perform financial reporting, program control, and EVM for this contract. Activities for these tasks will assist the FAA in planning, monitoring, managing, and reporting on construction/installation support tasks. The Contractor, along with interaction of the Government, must assess the progress of ongoing activities, identify problems encountered or foreseen, update the program schedule and risks as needed, and provide the Government with the status of any open action items assigned to the Contractor.

C.4.2.1 Earned Value Management System The Contractor must utilize an internal Earned Value Management System (EVMS) that complies with EIA-748 and IAW the requirements of AMS Clauses 1.13-1 Notice of Earned Value Management System (July 2016) and 1.13-2 Earned Value Management System (July 2016). The EVMS must be used to plan, schedule, budget, monitor, manage, and report cost, schedule, and technical status of all Section C.7.2.1 Construction/Installation Floating Crew Support Tasks. The Contractor's internal EVMS serves as the single, formal, integrated system that meets both the Contractor's internal management requirements and the requirements of the FAA for timely, reliable, and auditable performance information.

The application of these concepts provides for early indication of contract cost, schedule, and technical challenges and variances. The outputs of this system are used as the basis to report detailed performance status on a monthly basis and during program management reviews and other status meetings.
