Reference ANSI/TIA 607.

2.2.12. Underground Conduit System

The Contractor shall be responsible for any required trenching and/or boring necessary to lay the duct system. The Contractor is also responsible for backfilling ditch lines and compaction of fill materials with appropriate compaction tools. Directional drilling shall be used for major road crossings, taxiways, runways, etc. Otherwise, crossing of paved surfaces may be performed by pavement cuts and resurfacing with appropriate matching road material. This does not prevent the Contractor from using directional drilling if it is more cost effective. Ducts will be appropriately protected when placed under paved surfaces (i.e., concrete encasement).

The ducts shall be appropriately labeled indicating the composition material. Ducts shall have a sleeve or bell-end type coupling and shall be watertight when assembled. In addition, the Contractor shall adhere to any additional Host Base/site specific requirement.

2.2.12.2. Installation

Bulletin 1753F-151. Ducts installed beneath roads, sidewalks, parking areas, other paved surfaces or areas to be paved, etc. shall be installed a minimum of 36" below grade. In a MH with knockouts, ducts shall start at the bottom knockout, allowing for upward expansion in the

MH. All ducts not installed under roads, sidewalks, parking areas, or areas to be paved, etc. shall have a minimum of 36 inches ground cover, where possible. The Contractor shall provide other protective measures, concrete cap, etc., in those areas where the minimum ground cover cannot be achieved. Grading of ducts shall be accomplished IAW RUS Bulletin 1751F-643. All conduits shall be continuous between MH/HHs (i.e., no breaks or separations in the conduit runs between MH/HHs).

2.2.12.3. Bends and Sealing

All bends between MHs shall be a minimum of ten times (10X) the diameter of the duct size

(i.e., 4 inch duct = 40 inches) with the sum of bends in all directions not exceeding a total of 90 degrees, where practical. Coordinate with 21 CS/SCXP if runs have bends that total more than

90 degrees is required. Ducts shall have bell-ends and enter a MH perpendicular to the surface of the wall through which it is entering. All ducts/inner-ducts entering MH shall be sealed.

Universal duct plugs or removable putty sealants may be used. Upon completion of conduit sections, a rigid 12” long test mandrel ¼” (6.4mm) smaller than the inside diameter of the conduit shall be pulled through two diagonally opposite ducts to ensure proper alignment. In addition, all ducts shall be cleared of loose materials such as concrete, mud, dirt, stones, etc.

2.2.12.4. Utility Separation

When communications ducts cross either power duct or buried power cable, maintain a minimum separation of 3 inches of concrete or 12 inches of well-tamped earth between the two or 12 inches of well tamped earth when parallel; for pipes (e.g., gas, water, oil) maintain 6 inches when crossing or 12 inches when parallel.

2.2.12.5. Spacers and Tracer Wire

Along the length of the duct run, if the ducts are installed by trenching, spacers shall be placed at five (5) foot intervals and cable warning tape shall be buried one (1) foot below the surface and shall follow the duct route. The tape shall be a minimum of three inches wide and orange in color with the appropriate warning message. At least one duct shall have tracer wire or be otherwise locatable from the surface.

When new entrance conduits/ducts or sleeves are required, the Contractor shall bore and install the necessary holes and install the ducts or sleeves, if a knockout does not exist. Penetration shall not be in such a location through the wall as to block use of existing ducts in the maintenance hole. New ducts will be a minimum of 18 inches from either the maintenance hole floor or ceiling, if practical. The minimum bending radius for entry conduit/ducts shall be no less than 10 times the inside diameter of the conduit. Ducts and openings around ducts shall be sealed to prevent moisture from entering the maintenance holes.

The Contractor shall submit red line drawings showing the “as-built” configuration in format specified by base SCX project manager. The base communications squadron will provide baseline drawings. The Contractor shall provide As-Built Rack Elevation, Inside Cable Plant and Outside Cable Plant drawings and distribute.

2.2.20. Test and Acceptance/Installation Test Plan

The Contractor shall provide a test plan as to how the system shall be pre-tested, in-progress-tested and post-tested to demonstrate to the Government that the system is fully operational ready to be placed into service. The Contractor shall test the system to demonstrate to the

Government quality assurance representative. These tests shall be accomplished prior to the system being placed into service.

2.2.21. Acceptance/Installation Test Report

The Contractor shall provide an installation test report of the results of the testing accomplished under the installation test plan.

2.2.22. Final Acceptance

The Contractor shall schedule a final project walk-through with the 21 CS/SCXP. This should be scheduled 10 calendar days prior to acceptance.

2.2.23. As-Built Documentation in CVC

The Contractor shall record geospatial data and provide as-built documentation (shape files) of all new installed hand hole system components (including metadata) compatible with the

Cyberspace Infrastructure Planning System (CIPS) Visualization Component (CVC) drawing system. Data points shall be recorded at the center of each manhole/hand hole lid and at intervals not to exceed 25 feet along cable routes. Sufficient data points shall be recorded to capture any change in direction along the route. All GPS coordinates shall have +/- 3 feet accuracy for all readings. The government is responsible for providing the Contractor with a copy of the installation’s most current GeoBase Common Installation Picture (CIP), and current

CVC drawings of the areas of interest. The government will review the shape files in CVC and transcribe the information to the CVC system. Shape files shall be delivered upon project completion.
