Background Cape Cod National Seashore seeks high-speed internet service to five remote facilities. The current service at these locations is inadequate at best in meeting the functions and business requirements of park operations to perform required duties in carrying out the DOI/NPS/CACO mission. The Race Point Ranger Station is the operating facility of critical life and safety functions that has been debilitated due lack of adequate and at times functioning connectivity. Also, there is a fee permitting office at that location that provides visitor services for over-sand beach driving. The North Atlantic Coastal Laboratory is the hub of all CACO natural science programs and, also is debilitated in their-data intensive programs due to connectivity issues. Furthermore, increased speeds and bandwidth will provide better opportunity for improvements to the park’s Land Mobile Radio (LMR) system that is critical to public safety as well as reducing hardware costs of information technology equipment and security of federal government systems through more timely updating and patching for vulnerabilities.

Objectives The goal of this project is to establish high-speed internet service at five CACO locations and provide internet service for one year.

Scope This project is to install high-speed internet and provide internet service for one year at the following five locations:

1. Race Point Ranger Station - 200 Ranger Station Rd, Provincetown, MA 02657 (42° 4'43.70"N, 70°13'13.11"W)

2. North Atlantic Coastal Laboratory - 32 Old Dewline Road, Truro, MA 02652; (42° 1'58.00"N, 70° 3'26.91"W)

3. Province Lands Visitor Center - 171 Race Point Rd, Provincetown, MA (42° 4'26.47"N, 70°12'18.97"W)

4. Race Point Fee Booth – Race Point Rd, Provincetown, MA 02657 (42° 4'42.07"N, 70°13'4.46"W) (no street address)

5. North District Operations Facility - 23 Tin Pan Alley, Provincetown, MA 02657; (42° 3'53.25"N, 70°11'29.24"W)

There will be a separate option for an additional year of service at each location.

The contractor will provide all labor, materials, equipment, and hardware necessary to provide the sites with high-speed internet connectivity. All work performed under this contract shall be done in accordance with applicable local, State, and Federal codes, bylaws and ordinances in effect at the time of this work.

The park will use existing interior office network cabling for distribution of internet service to computers and other networked equipment within the locations. The park will request the LAN-to-LAN devices as needed using current National Park Service (NPS) procedures to extend internet service and access to the Department of the Interior (DOI) wide area network.
