1.0 SCOPE.

The statement of objective (SOO) defines the requirements for the Contractor to Engineer, Design, Furnish, Install, and Test (EDFI&T) a Giant Voice (GV) System upgrade required at Air Base 201, Agadez, Niger. AB 201 currently has two (2) Acoustic Technology Incorporation (ATI) central control activation equipment, four (4) existing ATI Remote Terminal Units (RTUs), and four (4) Omni-directional speaker arrays (twelve 100watt speakers each). The current GV system components are intermittent, ineffective and provided a degraded service at their location. The current GV system will be required to upgrade the existing GV components and expand the audible sound coverage to provide sufficient intelligible voice coverage for the entire AB 201 populace.

The mast height is adjustable/raised from 20ft minimum to 30ft maximum by a middle mast hand winch crank to meet the local airfield and safety requirements. Attach guide wires to the respective winch and rotate the handle on each winch enough to remove the slack from each cable to secure and stabilize the mast and speakers. There are 4 guide wires winch handles. See Table 1 and Figure 1.

1.0.2 The Contractor shall install three (3) new NEMA-4 rated weatherproof RTU enclosures with an attached ventilated battery compartment, mounting bracket and hardware for mast mount systems on the transportable 30ft masts (GVM4, GVM6, and GVM7). The RTU enclosures shall contain a Class D amplifier integrated with a controller board, two-way RF link communications and provide real-time feedback status to the central control station, digital message board, power supply, 120VAC, an intrusion switch, a temperature compensated battery charger and power ON/OFF circuit breaker. See Table 1.

1.0.3 The Contractor shall install three (3) new Motorola APX4500 VHF radios (or equivalent) and power supplies in the three (3) new RTUs.

1.0.4 The Contractor shall install the 3dB VHF omni-directional antennas, antenna cables, and mounting bracket on three (3) new 30ft transportable mast (GVM4, GVM 6, and GVM7). See Table 1.

1.0.5 The Contractor shall install three (3) new solar power panels, voltage regulator, mounting bracket, and cables for providing the power requirements for three new siren speakers (GVM4, GVM6 and GVM7). See Table 1.
