1.3. The current telephone system is the National Parks CISCO IP Phone system that is using the plain old copper T1 (1.5 megahertz system).

2. OBJECTIVES:

This contract is to replace the old copper telecom T1 line with updated 36 Fiber Optic Cable. The end product will provide better telecommunication, intrusion and fire alarm communication, and computer systems for all the buildings located at Nez Perce National Historic Site.

5. SCOPE:

The project consists of running Fiber Optic Cable from the existing installed fiber line across the highway (U.S. 95) from the visitor center that will terminate into the visitor center at Nez Perce NHS. The new 36 Fiber Optic Cable will be run in UD (1x2-1.25) conduit.
