1.0 SCOPE. This Statement of Work (SOW) defines the requirements for the Contractor to Engineer, Design, Furnish, Install, and Test (EDFI&T) a Giant Voice (GV) System upgrade required at Hurlburt Field AFB, FL. The Contractor shall utilize the existing GV system equipment to the maximum extent possible for the required upgrade defined in this SOW. The upgraded GV system shall be able to communicate over the existing Ultra High Frequency (UHF) RF repeater communications infrastructure. The current GV system has been experiencing five main problems:

1. DTMF Tones playing longer than needed due to latency in the radio transmission. 2. The Central Base Alerting Warning System (BAWS) control console in the Command Post (ICC) has periodically error and not allowed some tones to be played until the system is reset. 3. The Audio announcements from the speakers is garbled. 4. The FAMCAMP area doesn’t have the audible emergency alerting notification message announcements from the Base Alerting Warning System (BAWS) and has been written up by the 1 SOSC/QA for not complying with the UFC 04-021-1 and AFI 10-2501. 5. The GV system has no end of message indicator. The upgraded GV system shall provide sufficient intelligible voice coverage for the entire base populace with real time emergency alerting messages and accurate health system status. The upgraded GV system shall also provide the interactive map with geographical unit selection to transmit and receive emergency alerts and display color-coded status with detailed communications diagnostic information of each node in the GV network and its end devices such as Siren Control Units (SCUs), AC power, amplifiers, batteries, siren activation, sequence ID, along with providing: a time and date stamp, unacknowledged alarms and reports, log alarms and events, and overall system activity and health status.

1.0.1 The Contractor shall upgrade the Giant Voice System, install new central control communications equipment, and utilize the existing RF repeater communication infrastructure to transport voice announcements to the new fifteen (15) outdoor Siren Controller Units (SCUs) on the west and east side of the flight line of Hurlburt Field as well as the FAM Camp. The audible siren speaker and horn messages shall be optimized, tested, controlled, and adjusted to prevent bleed-over noise into the surrounding communities IAW Okaloosa County Ordinances. The contractor is responsible for complying with these ordinances. The FAM Camp is outside the main Hurlburt installation and near the surrounding civilian communities. Special care is to be taken by the contractor to comply with the Okaloosa County Ordinances in the case of the installation of the GV system node at the FAM Camp. The Ordinances applying to noise can be found at https://library.municode.com/fl/okaloosa_county/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=COOR_APXE

LADECO_CH9OPPEST

1.0.2 The Contractor shall provide the upgraded GV system with the reliable, redundant resilient communications over the existing UHF radio frequency communication infrastructure to include the existing repeater.

1.0.3 The Contractor shall install the fifteen (15) new Siren Control Units (SCUs) and the 15 new APX4500 UHF R1 Enhanced (M22QSS9PW1BN) radios in the upgraded GV system.

1.0.4 The in compliance with the Okaloosa County Ordinances, the Contractor shall install the new Indoor Controller Unit (ICU) and APX4500 UHF R1 Enhanced (M22QSS9PW1BN) radio in the electrical room of Building 93261. The contractor will also ensure that the equipment is properly grounded and protected from lightening.

1.0.5 The Contractor shall use the existing repeater GTR8000 UHF communication infrastructure to transport voice announcements to the entire base populace including the FAM Camp area. See

Hurlburt Field AFB pg. 2

Figure 1: Hurlburt Fields GV System Audible Sound Coverage Requirement.

1.0.6 The Contractor shall install the new wall-mounted Bi-Directional horns on the RV Office Building’s East gable one horn points to Northeast and other horn points to Southwest with volume output adjustable. The audible horn voice messages shall be optimized, tested, controlled, and adjusted to prevent bleed-over noise into the surrounding communities, keeping in mind to test the installation to ensure noise produced by the GV equipment complies with Okaloosa County Ordinances. The contractor shall provide noise contour analysis to the government to show that sound levels do not exceed the 55/60db code levels at the civilian property/lease lines.

1.0.7 The Contractor shall install the new wall-mounted Directional horns on the RV Office building’s West gable, Point to B91401, B9150, B91520, and Gate B91404. New two stack Directional speakers (Wall mount on RV Office’s West gable, Point to B91401. The audible horn voice messages shall be optimized, tested, controlled, and adjusted to prevent bleed-over noise into the surrounding communities, keeping in mind to test the installation to ensure noise produced by the GV equipment complies with Okaloosa County Ordinances. The contractor shall provide noise contour analysis to the government to show that sound levels do not exceed the 55/60db code levels at the civilian property/lease lines.

1.0.8 The Contractor shall install a new wall-mounted Yagi-Directional Antenna (mount on the RV Office’s West gable, and point to the Repeater, B90365) with the proper mounting L brackets with an 8ft length x 1inch diameter metal pipe.

1.0.12 The upgraded GV system shall provide intelligible audible pre-recorded and live voice messages and electronic communications. Electronic communications are communications between the central control units and the nodes that will provide status of the nodes (heartbeat, up, down, trouble report) and provide selective use of the nodes (one node, multiple, or a group of nodes). Hurlburt Field AFB must have an upgraded GV system with the capability to disseminate rapidly and effectively the emergency information to warn all personnel immediately, and no longer than 10 minutes, before, during and after incident notification and verification.

1.0.13 The Contractor shall utilize pre- and post- proposal walk through information to analyze the project requirements, sound propagation analysis, perform engineering design tasks, and develop the data deliverables. The design and sound propagation mapping software shall be used to determine and optimize the intelligible audible sound coverage for entire base populace and install enough and correct type of speakers, and horns. See the table 1 and Figure 1. The Contractor shall

Hurlburt Field AFB pg. 3 provide pre- and post-proposal walk through information to analyze the project requirements, sound propagation analysis, perform engineering design tasks, and develop the data deliverables. The sound propagation mapping software shall be used to determine the sound travel, environmental attributes of the land, buildings, and the effect on sound travel. This software shall be used to determine the best hardware to utilize and the preferred optimal speakers and locations for the existing poles.
