STATEMENT OF WORK

Fiber Optic Internet Service to three CACO Facilities

CAPE COD NATIONAL SEASHORE

99 Marconi Site Rd., Wellfleet, MA 02667 04/11/2025

Background Cape Cod National Seashore (CACO) seeks to establish turnkey fiber optic internet service to three facilities. The purpose of this service is to improve network speed, reliability and security to better meet the operational and business requirements of park operations in support of DOI/NPS/CACO mission. Furthermore, increased bandwidth and performance will enhance the park’s Land Mobile Radio (LMR) system that is critical to public safety, and support cost reduction in IT hardware, as well as improve cybersecurity through more timely updates and vulnerability patching.

Objectives The goal of this project is to establish fiber optic internet service at three CACO locations.

Scope This project is to bring fiber optic internet service to the following three locations:

1. Headquarters - 99 Marconi Site Road, Wellfleet, MA 02667

2. Salt Pond Visitor Center (Option 1) - 50 Nauset Road, Eastham, MA 02642

3. Nauset Ranger Station (Option 2) - 1050 Nauset Road, Eastham, MA 02642

4. One year of fiber optic internet service at the Marconi Headquarters Complex.

There will be separate one year-options for up to four additional years of service each location.

The contractor will provide all labor, materials, equipment, services and hardware necessary to deliver complete fiber optic internet connectivity to the specified locations. The installation shall be underground and concealed to the greatest extent possible, with fiber terminated at designated network points within each facility. All work performed under this contract shall be done in accordance with applicable local, State, and Federal codes, bylaws and ordinances in effect at the time of this work. The contractor must minimize disturbance to the site to the greatest extent possible unless directed otherwise.

The park will use existing interior office network cabling for distribution of internet service to computers and other networked equipment within the locations. The park will request the LAN-to-LAN devices as needed using current National Park Service (NPS) procedures to extend internet service and access to the Department of the Interior (DOI) wide area network.
