Performance Work Statement for

Tactical Communication Tower Replacement at the Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC) and Technology Refresh at Joint Multinational Readiness Center (JMRC)

1.0 SCOPE

1.1 JRTC, Ft. Polk, LA

This Performance Work Statement (PWS) defines the efforts required to build four (4) new tactical communication towers and shelters to fully function at Mills Creek, Cemetery 13, Peason East and Peason West Towers before replacing their predecessor towers at these locations. Also, to perform a tower technology refresh at Southern Tower and validate the new capability to fully function before removal of the existing tower communications equipment. The current towers are located at:

• Site 34 - Mill Creek Tower, coordinate 31°5’1.03”N, 93°8’27.3”W.

• Site 15 - Cemetery 13 Tower, coordinate 31°5’46.10”N, 92°58’38.40”W.

• Site 33 - Southern Tower, coordinate 31°2’10.40”N, 93°0’45.30”W.

• Site 1 - Peason East Tower, coordinate 31°21’1.33”N, 93°10’17.79”W.

• Site 32 - Peason West Tower, coordinate 31°21’6.17”N, 93°19’41.095”W.

This effort involves the below categories:

• Concrete pouring for new tower and shelter foundation.

• Construction of new towers and shelter buildings including all equipment for full functionality.

• Installation of electrical support equipment including metal clad cable and 3-phase transformers.

• Installation of new (Tech Refresh) communication hardware including fiber optic cables, TV systems and antennas onto the towers and into the shelters. This requires a new tower loads analysis at site 33, for the tower equipment additions.

• Perform earthwork activities which include excavation, trenching and continuous footing.

• Provisions for exterior improvement which includes concrete pouring for sidewalks/patios and installation of chain link fences/security gates.

• Installation of supporting utilities which include electrical underground ducts and manholes, PVCs, and conduits.

• All Ft. Polk, surrounding cities, surrounding parishes, state of Louisiana and FAA regulations and certifications shall be met.

• Deconstruction/demolition of existing pre-stressed piles, radio towers, communications equipment, electrical and fiber optic cables, antennas, etc. and the pertinent shelters including hauling and dumping.

1.2 JMRC, Hohenfels, FRG

This Performance Work Statement (PWS) defines the efforts required to perform a tower technology refresh at the Kleinelberg and Nussberg tower sites and to validate the new capability to fully function before removal of the existing redundant tower communications equipment.

The current towers are located at:

• Kleinelberg Tower, coordinate 49°16’10.0”N, 11°47’51.0”E.

• Nussberg Tower, coordinate 49°18’48.1”N, 11°44’24.9”E.

This effort involves the below categories:

• If needed, deconstruction of existing communications equipment, electrical and fiber optic cables, antennas, etc. from the tower and shelter, including hauling and dumping.

• Installation of additional new (Technology Refresh) communication hardware including fiber optic cables, electrical cables, TV systems and antennas. This requires a new tower loads analysis for the tower equipment additions.

• Installation of additional new (Technology Refresh) communications equipment in the tower shelter buildings including all equipment for full functionality.

• All JMRC, Hohenfels, Nuemarkt, Bavaria and LBA regulations and certifications shall be met.

1.3 BACKGROUND

Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC - Ft. Polk, LA) Tactical Communication Subsystem effort uses Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) Information Technology equipment to properly operate, display, and protect the JRTC Instrumented Systems (JRTC-IS) while supporting training rotations. This tactical data communication is transmitted digitally throughout the training area, collected at 35 different tower locations and re-transmitted via the JRTC Tactical Network to the JRTC-IS application servers and data collection/storage components located in the Joint Operations Center (JOC), Building 1560.

The four JRTC, Ft. Polk, LA Tactical Communication Subsystem Towers (Peason East, Peason West, Mills Creek, and Cemetery 13), have been determined to be unsuitable. The survey findings conducted by the US Army Corps of Engineers, Tulsa District in Aug of 2017, conclude that the current tactical communication towers fail to meet the standards in accordance with Telecommunication Industry Association (TIA)-222-H Structural Standard for Antenna Supporting Structures and Antennas.

The Joint Multinational Readiness Center (JMRC) is a forward-deployed, European-based Maneuver Combat Training Center (MCTC) conducting realistic, distributed training for U.S.

Army and Allied military units fighting Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) and conducting peacekeeping operations. The JMRC-IS supports the U.S. Army training mission by capturing electronic maneuver and engagement event data in near real-time for the purposes of providing the Soldiers immediate feedback by means of an After Action Review (AAR) and providing reference and additional training reinforcement through the Take Home Packages (THP). The JMRC-IS is composed of three compatible Instrumentation Systems that interoperate with each other to support JMRC training requirements. The JMRC Live Fire-IS is located on the range complex at Grafenwoehr, Germany, and supports live fire collective training exercises. The Mobile Instrumentation System (MIS) is based at Hohenfels, Germany, and supports mobile training requirements both in the Hohenfels and Grafenwoehr Training Areas, and for deployments to allied countries throughout Europe. The MIS plays a key role in supporting these distributed training requirements. The third part of the JMRC-IS is the permanently-housed, fixed-site Instrumentation System which is also located at Hohenfels, Germany. These three IS’s are collectively known as the JMRC-IS.

The two JMRC Tactical Communication Subsystem towers (Kleinelberg Tower and Nussberg Tower) in Hohenfels, will require a technology refresh to provide additional communication capability to meet the new requirements of the JMRC training mission.
