The personnel will be required to relocate/install electronic equipment, provide/install fiber from equipment room to the cab, install GFE cables/equipment in the cab, and assist in video testing new fiber and equipment.

Challenge will be to meet aggressive schedule in two years. Two professionals per site will be needed; some sites will have one government and one contractor. At the first site, the government will train personnel on what is expected, and the contractor will be expected to train their remaining personnel.

• Background materials:

• OM3 Plenum Aqua 6 Strand Tight-Buffered Distribution Indoor Fiber Armor w/2ft

2.0mm Breakout Each End Staggered in a 3/4" Pull eye Both Ends Corning 006T88- 31190-D3 or equivalent o The fiber has nonmetallic armor; there is a minimum buy of 15,000’. The Dielectric armor cable 6 EA fiber will need to be terminate with ST on one end and the other 4EA LC fiber connectors and 2 EA ST connectors. On Each end will require a pulling eye. Labeled fiber appropriately to avoid confusion.

Federal Networks or equivalents would be able to terminate, but their order will need to be equivalent to 15,000’ or the remainder fiber will need to be purchased.

• Or the contractor can purchase the 15000’ of fiber and have a professional termination of the fiber as described above.

o Federal Networks or equivalents would need a monthly storage fee if the fiber spool were provided to them and terminated on an as needed basis.

Another option: The above fiber can be provided as GFE, and the contractor can have it terminated and/or stored by a fiber professional.

o Each fiber purchased will need to be at least 150’: Length will be provided.

• If the above fiber can’t be purchased then OM3 Plenum Aqua 6 Strand Tight-Buffered Distribution Indoor Fiber Armor w/2ft 2.0mm Breakout Each End Staggered in a 3/4" Pull eye fiber with 6 EA ST fiber connectors on one end and 4 EA LC fiber connector and 2 EA ST fiber connectors on the other end. Labeled fibers appropriately to avoid confusion. Plus, 2 EA LC to LC couplers and 3’ 2 EA LC fiber connector to 2 EA ST fiber connector fiber pigtail will be needed.

• The contractor will provide hand tools, to include fish tape.

• The contractor will provide tie wraps and electrical tape, rack clip nuts.

• The contractor will provide Mule tape, flat pull tape, or equivalent.

• The contractor will provide LC, SC, & ST fiber power meters, to test fiber once installed.

Scope Scope of the contract: Provide skilled professional support for STARS digital video upgrade.

Fiber optic cable will need to be provided/installed at each site. The professional must coordinate with Volpe and site POC and 3 weeks prior to travel and prior work start onsite, and the Volpe government rep is CC on any correspondence. See if the POC can provide pictures of the fiber transceiver and the video splitter in the cab. It will assist in determining what fiber connectors are needed for the spare fiber if the second option of fiber is being provided. Each site will need two personnel, two days onsite and two days travel for conus, three to four additional days for combined sites. Provide a Daily status report.
