Government Requirements Document Telecommunication Facility EOL/EOS Battery Replacement

The Midwest Region Network Enterprise Center telecommunication facilities battery plant batteries are at or nearing end of life cycle(s) and need to be replaced in order to maintain safe, stable, and reliable DC power to telephony and Network critical services.

Vendor requirements:

1. Provide compatible VRLA AGM battery replacement for the following: Quantity: 192; Make

Deka Unigy II; Model: 3AVR 2/95-33S in accordance with the following specifications:

a. 20 Year design life @ 77ºF/25ºC (Float)

b. Float Voltage: 2.25 VPC +/- .01 volts per cell United States

c. Approximant Cell Dimensions: 24.25” L x 12.5” W x 6.25“H

d. Use existing rack and framework

e. 3 Year Free Replacement Warranty

f. Epoxy-sealed posts eliminate leaks

g. Vent: Self-sealing (minimizes gassing)

h. Provide cost of all travel, parts and labor to remove and replace existing batteries to include costs required to dispose of removed batteries.

i. Perform requisite EPA reporting as mandated.

2. Replace 192 Deka Unigy II VRLA AGM batteries with compatible batteries at the following locations:

a. Remove and replace five (5) strings, twenty-four (24) batteries per string, for a total of one hundred and twenty (120) batteries at telecommunication facility 6421.

b. Remove and replace three (3) strings, twenty- four (24) batteries per string, for a total of seventy-two (72) batteries at telecommunication facility 213.

3. The vendor must ensure:

a. All measurements made shall use test equipment in current calibration with traceability to

NIST standards.

b. The battery enclosure must be cleaned after the old batteries are removed and before the new batteries are installed. If battery acid has leaked into the cabinet, the acid will be removed, neutralized and the enclosure metal finish will be treated.

c. The existing cable jumpers are to be resistance tested, using a micro-ohm meter prior to installation. The measurements will be taken from each terminal post to the bare cable to measure the lug connection resistance. The readings should be less than 50 micro-ohms.

If the cables do not meet this reading, new jumpers are to be installed and tested again.

The resistance testing of the cable connections will be documented and provided to NEC personnel.

d. Verify inter-cell connection integrity: The resistance of all inter-cell connections should be measured and recorded using a digital low-resistance ohmmeter (DLRO). The readings must be within the manufacturer’s specifications.

e. Verify proper polarity connection of cells. Verify the open circuit terminal voltage of each series connected bank of batteries. This value should be greater than 48V.

f. The battery connections are to be torqued to the battery manufacturer’s specifications.

g. Initial commissioning is to be performed on the new batteries.

h. Each cell voltage measured, internal ohmic test performed and negative terminal temperature test performed. This testing is to be documented and provided to NEC personnel.

i. The batteries are to be load tested after the battery has been fully charged by equalizing.

j. The NEC is to witness the battery installation and testing.

k. The vendor is responsible for the removal of the old batteries and the proper disposal of batteries in accordance with EPA regulatory requirements.

4. Work Hours:

Battery installation must be performed during regular business hours, Mon-Fri, 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.

(excluding Holidays) by an authorized technician.

5. Battery Installation:

a. The work performed is to be according to national electric code. Removal and disposal of existing batteries must meet all federal regulations. All work is to comply with 2012 National Electric Code.

b. The work must be started within four (4) weeks of award and completed within eight (8 weeks) of award.

6. Access and general protection/security policy and procedures. This standard language is for contractor employees with an area of performance within Army controlled installation, facility, or area. Contractor and all associated subcontractor employees shall provide all information required for background checks to meet installation access requirements to be accomplished by installation Provost Marshal Office, Director of Emergency Services or Security Office. Contractor workforce must comply with all personal identity verification requirements (FAR clause 52.204- 9, Personal Identity Verification of Contractor Personnel) as directed by DOD, HQDA and/or local policy. In addition to the changes otherwise authorized by the changes clause of this contract, should the Force Protection Condition (FPCON) at any individual facility or installation change, the Government may require changes in contractor security matters or processes.

7. For contractors that do not require CAC but require access to a DoD facility or installation.

Contractor and all associated sub-contractors employees shall comply with adjudication standards and procedures using the National Crime Information Center Interstate Identification Index (NCIC-III) and Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB) (Army Directive 2014-05/AR 190-13), applicable installation, facility and area commander installation/facility access and local security policies and procedures (provided by government representative), or, at OCONUS locations, in accordance with status of forces agreements and other theater regulations.

8. AT Level I Training. This standard language is for contractor employees with an area of performance within as Army controlled installation, facility, or area. All contractor employees, including subcontractor employees, requiring access to Army installations, facilities, and controlled-access areas shall complete AT Level I awareness training within calendar days after the contract start date or effective date of incorporation of this requirement into the contract, whichever is applicable. The contractor shall submit certificates of completion for each affected contractor employee and subcontractor employee, to the COR or to the contracting officer, if a COR is not assigned, within calendar days after completion of training by all employees and subcontractor personnel. AT Level I awareness training is available at the following website:

9. iWatch Training. The contractor and all associated sub-contractors shall brief all employees on the local iWATCH program (training standards provided by the requiring activity ATO). This local developed training will be used to inform employees of the types of behavior to watch for and instruct employees to report suspicious activity to the COR. This training shall be completed within calendar days of contract award and within calendar days of new employees commencing performance with the results reported to the COR NLT calendar days after contract award.
