Wireless Site Survey RFQ

Performance Work Statement

June 5, 2019

Overseas Private Investment Corporation 1100 New York Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20005

1. Overview

The OPIC Office Chief Information Officer (OCIO) leverages information technology, management, and consulting resources to support OPIC’s goals to grow the OPIC portfolio and development impact, increase environmental benefit, foster productivity and efficiency and build long-term support for OPIC to advance U.S. foreign policy objectives. The current WiFi environment no longer provides the security, and protocols demanded by the enterprise.

Technologies have greatly improved over the years and OPIC desires a Wireless study to ensure full coverage on floors 10, 11, and 12 and half the 4th floor.

2. Scope

This PWS describes the objectives that need to be met in order to prepare OPIC to successfully architect and deploy new Wi-Fi technology within the OPIC corporate offices.

A wireless survey will be performed on floors 10, 11, 12 and one-half of the 4th floor. The vendor will evaluate the current Wi-Fi placement and attempt to realize the current cabling and mounting infrastructure, and supplement with additional locations as required by the survey.

OPIC will utilize 802.11ac, 802.11n, 802.1ax, 802.11g, 802.11a, and 802.11b

3. Period of Performance

The period of performance is forty-five days from contract award.

4. Assumptions

OPIC will provide the vendor with current building blueprints and access to each floor. OPIC will provide vendor with appropriate Access Point.

5. Place of Performance

Primary place of performance is at the OPIC Headquarters in Washington, DC. Documentation may be performed remotely as directed or with the approval of the Government Contracting Officer Representative (COR).

6. Constraints

Work performed under this task order may experience the following constraints:

• Regulatory and policy requirements are subject to change over the course of this task order and may impact current policies and operations.

• Compliance with all Federal IT- related policies and standards is required.

• All contractors performing work under this contract must be approved via Federal

Government regulations and/or processing.

• The contractor must establish and document configuration settings using Center for

Internet Security (CIS) or comparable federal and OPIC approved entity for information products employed within the information system(s) using organization defined or to-be defined security configuration checklists that reflect the most restrictive mode consistent with operational requirements; implement the configuration settings;

identifies, documents and approves any deviations from the established configuration settings for organization-defined information system components based on organization-defined operational requirements and monitor and control changes to the configuration settings in accordance with organizational policies and procedures.

7. Vendor Organizational Capabilities Vendor must provide a brief description of its entity (including business locations, size, areas of specialization and expertise, client base and the Vendor organization’s experience and history with Wireless services, including, but not limited to:

1. Years of experience performing wireless site surveys,

2. Number of wireless site surveys performed in the last 24 months,

3. Types of wireless site surveys performed in the last 24 months (i.e., data, voice, outdoor mesh, location, etc.), and

4. Number of and availability of personnel to perform wireless site surveys.

5. Vendor personnel certified, by certification (i.e., Cisco Unified wireless site survey (CUWSS), Ekahau Certified Survey Engineer (ECSE), Airmagnet Certified Training, etc.), in providing wireless site surveys.

8. Warranty

The Vendor shall provide a 90 day warranty on work performed to assure the Vendor AP placement is effective and provides adequate coverage. If the AP placement does not work and at OPIC’s sole discretion, the Vendor shall correct placement at no additional cost until the AP provides adequate coverage. For the avoidance of doubt, adequate coverage means a correctly implemented WiFi network with 99.9% availability.

Samples Provided

In its Response, the Vendor shall provide the following documents:

1. A sample predictive site survey;

2. A sample pre-deployment on-site survey;

3. A post implementation verification survey; and

4. Any questionnaires or other documentation that must be completed prior to the site survey.

All samples must be for new wireless network installations conducted in the last 24 months.
