All equipment, supplies, and materials provided will be new and not refurbished.

2.2.1 Outside Plant Requirements.

2.2.1.1 Existing Maintenance Holes.

The Contractor shall design and install Customer-Owned Outside Plant Telecommunications Infrastructure in accordance with TIA-758-B. The cable installation will be coordinated with the 81 CS/SCXP so that any impact on the building users is properly coordinated. The sequence of installation is at the Contractor’s discretion. See Sketches – Drawings, for reference and estimated distances of existing and proposed infrastructure and cable routes. This is only a proposed solution.

The Contractor is free to make any recommendations pertaining to the accomplishment of this requirement in their proposal.

2.2.1.2 Measurements.

Any distances provided in this SOW are approximations and should NOT be used for ordering materials (cable, innerduct, etc.) or determining duct lengths. The contractor shall field verify measurements.

2.2.1.3 Cable Racks and Cable Rack Supports.

Cable racks will be installed in handhole and maintenance holes as required. Splices will not be supported by the cables that enter each end of the splice case. The splices will be supported by cable hooks under the splice case. Telecommunications industry standard cable hooks of the appropriate length will be provided to support cables and splice cases. The cable hooks will be secured using cable rack locking clips. All cables will be supported using racking clips, cable racks, and cable hooks.

2.2.1.4 Labeling.

The Contractor shall label all equipment and cables they install in accordance with (IAW) TIA-606-B and as directed by 81 CS/SCXP.

2.2.1.4.1 Cable Tags.

All tags will be permanently labeled, easily visible and corrosion resistant. Install cable tags in all maintenance holes/hand holes, cable vaults, pull boxes and building entrance terminal locations.

When cables pass through a MH/HH, put a tag on the cable, approximately 2 feet from each duct entrance, or on each side of the splice case, if one exists. If there is a slack loop in the cable in the MH/HH, put a tag on the loop. Information on the tag will conform to the system used by local maintenance personnel to identify cables.

Example (fiber): FO 4309 – Building fiber is being installed for

4705-4309 – ITN / Building number

1-12 SM or MM – Number and type

2.2.1.4.2 FODP Marking.

FODP will be stenciled/marked with black ink or paint or adhesive backed decals in letters and numbers. If the manufacturer has not identified the sequence in which ports on FODPs (pigtail modules) are counted, the Contractor will provide designation labels/strips to identify the sequence in which they are counted. Each splice tray will be marked to identify the fiber count contained in the splice tray. The marking will identify the FODP by number (building number), cable number, and count.

FODP: For example: FODP-241

FO 241-100, 1-12

FO 241-101, 13-24

FO 241-102, 25

2.2.1.4.3 New Ducts.

New ducts will be permanently labeled on the wall of each building/maintenance hole (MH)/handhole (HH) indicating the connecting building/maintenance hole/handhole at the other end of the duct (for example, “To MH-306H”). The same information will appear on the Contractor’s completed as-built-drawings.

2.2.1.5 FOC Terminations and Splicing.

Fiber optic cable termination will be SC connectors, with no splicing (Home Run installation), and no jumpers. The US color code will be used when terminating the fiber optic cables. The Contractor will determine whether or not there is some practical reason for an intermediate splice in the cable at some MH/HH between the cable end points, and consist of fusion splices in a high quality re-enterable splice case. A coil of 25 feet of cable will be provided on each cable entering or leaving a splice case in a MH or HH.

2.2.1.6 FOC Maintenance Loop.

Minimum of 25 feet of fiber optic cable at every MH/HH location, starting/ending in the first maintenance hole outside each end building (i.e. the first maintenance hole outside of each building will contain a 25 foot maintenance loop). All maintenance loops installed within maintenance holes must be supported by two cable hooks. Cable hooks are to be positioned so the highest one supports the underside of the top of the coil and the bottom hook supports the underside of the bottom of the coil. The maintenance loop will have a cable tag. The same information will appear on the Contractor’s completed as-built-drawings.

2.2.1.7 Outside Plant Installation.

The Contractor shall design and install Customer-Owned Outside Plant Telecommunications Infrastructure IAW TIA-758. Each cable installation and cut-over will be coordinated with the 81 CS/SCXP. The sequence of installation is at the Contractor’s discretion. See Attachment 1 for reference and estimated distances of existing and proposed cables routes.

2.2.1.7.1 Conduit Systems and Inner-ducts Installation.

The Contractor shall install the following:

2.2.1.7.1.1 Manhole/Handhole and Conduit System.

Install four (4) 4’W x 4’L x 4’H (interior dimensions) handholes (to be designated as New HH-149- J1, New HH-149-J2, New HH-149-H1, and New HH-149-F1 for the purposes of this requirement.

The handhole will be precast with an AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Official) wheel load rating of H-20 or European equivalent; with predrilled duct entry holes [sealed with knockouts configured for splayed entry in the end walls)] with duct terminators to accept 4-inch I.D. schedule 40 conduit; manufacturer installed wall inserts for attaching cable rack hardware; equipped with cable racks, sump, pulling-in irons, and a ground rod on the outside of MH/HH. The cover will be round and imprinted with “Communication”). Note: It is understood that some handholes are precast with bonding ribbon or some similar connection to the handhole rebar and therefore do not require a ground rod. This method of grounding in lieu of a ground rod is satisfactory just as long as the impedance to ground is at the acceptable level. See Sketch.

2.2.1.7.1.2 Ductbank Infrastructure.

2.2.1.7.1.4 Composition.

The ducts will be 4-inch inside diameter (I.D.) round or metric equivalent. The ducts will be made of EPC-40 Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) (Schedule 40) IAW NEMA TC-2. For unique/site specific situations, the ducts will be made of EPC-80-PVC (Schedule 80) IAW NEMA TC-2. Schedule 80 PVC will be limited to risers, all above ground conduit, and under the roadway/parking pavement.

High density polyethylene (HDPE) SDR 13.5 will be used when directional boring is used. The ducts will be appropriately labeled indicating the composition material. Ducts will have a sleeve or bell-end type coupling and will be watertight when assembled. In addition, the Contractor will adhere to any additional Keesler AFB/site specific requirements.

2.2.1.7.1.5 Installation.

Installation of underground conduits/ducts will be IAW RUS Bulletin 1751F-643 and RUS Bulletin 1753F-151. Ducts installed beneath roads, sidewalks, parking areas, other paved surfaces or areas to be paved, etc. will be installed a minimum of 36" below grade. In a MH with knockouts, ducts will 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. will have a minimum of 36 inches ground cover, where possible. The Contractor will provide other protective measures, concrete cap, etc., in those areas where the minimum ground cover cannot be achieved. Grading of ducts will be accomplished IAW RUS Bulletin 1751F-643. All conduits will be continuous between MH/HHs (i.e., no breaks or separations in the conduit runs between MH/HHs).

2.2.1.7.1.6 Paved Surface Crossings.

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. Backfill material shall be clean and free from all organic material, clay, marl, or unstable materials, debris, lumps, or broken paving. NO rocks or stones larger than 3 inches in diameter shall be allowed in backfill. Material for backfill may be material resulting from excavation, if it meets the above requirements. Unless specified otherwise, Directional Drilling shall be used for all paved surface crossings (see Table “Directional Drilling:

PVC Duct-banks” for details). Directional drilling shall be used for sidewalks, parking lot driveways, road crossings, taxiways, runways, etc.

2.2.1.7.1.7 Conduit Protection.

The Contactor shall install the appropriate physical protection required [(concrete encasement, steel tube (casing)] for buried PVC conduits or HDPE rsanderolled pipe, consistent with commonly accepted telecommunications industry practices relative to the task and to the environment in which they are installed and the loads (H-5, H-10, H-20, railroads, flight line, etc.) to which they are expected to be exposed. Type of protection may be dependent upon the specific application and will be IAW applicable federal, state or local (Keesler AFB MS Civil Engineering construction requirements) procedures. However, at a minimum, nonmetallic conduits will be encased in concrete of minimum 3000 lb. /in2 compressive strength where vehicular traffic is above the pathway. The encasement will be concrete of a wet type mix and will be placed in such a manner as to ensure the concrete completely surrounds all conduits and no air voids are trapped in the mix.

2.2.1.7.1.8 Bends and Sealing.

All bends between MHs will 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 81 CS/SCXP if runs have bends that total more than 90 degrees is required. Ducts will have bell ends and enter a maintenance hole perpendicular to the surface of the wall through which it is entering. All ducts/inner ducts entering maintenance holes must be sealed.

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

2.2.1.7.1.9 NEMA 4X Enclosure & Pedestal.

The Contractor shall install four (4) each NEMA 4X enclosures and a pedestals. The Contractor shall determine the size of the enclosure based on FODP size to be accommodated and conduit coming into the enclosure, etc. The enclosure door will have a locking mechanism capable of accepting a padlock to be provided by the 81 CS/SCXP. Reference Sketches 1 & 2.

2.2.1.7.1.10 Entrance Conduits into Existing Maintenance holes.

When new entrance conduits/ducts or sleeves are required, the Contractor will bore and install the necessary holes and install the ducts or sleeves, if a knockout does not exist. Contractor bored holes will be fitted with duct terminators to accept 4-inch I.D., schedule 40 (or schedule 80) conduit.

Penetration will 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 will be no less than 10 times the inside diameter of the conduit. Ducts and openings around ducts will be sealed to prevent moisture from entering the maintenance holes. All duct entrances will be flush/beveled or use terminator cap with the MH/HH interior wall surface.

2.2.1.7.1.11 Pull Tape.

All newly installed ducts left vacant will be provided with a pull tape with a waterproof, corrosion resistant, pre-lubricated flat woven polyester pull tape with sequential footage markings, (1250 lb.

pulling strength) for future cable installations. The pull tape will extend into the maintenance holes/handholes and be secured to a cable rack or pulling iron, etc.

2.2.1.7.1.12 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.

2.2.1.7.1.13 Spacers and Tracer Wire.

Along the length of the duct run, if the ducts are installed by trenching, spacers will be placed at five

(5) foot intervals and cable warning tape will be buried one (1) foot below the surface and will follow the duct route. The tape will be a minimum of three inches wide and orange in color with the appropriate warning message. All new tracer wire installed for this project needs to have a wire nut and label installed at all wire ends, and those wire ends secured but not connected to grounds. The tracer wire will be exposed; free from the conduit and capped (insulated). The tracer will be secured and routed to the maintenance hole or handhole neck to a point where maintenance personnel may access the wire without having to enter the maintenance hole/handhole, and tagged with a label so indicating it as a “Duct Tracer Wire to xxx - Do Not Remove (where xxx is the other end of the wire).” Tracer wires will not be connected to any grounding system. Tracer wire will be pulled back from building entrances until it is underground to prevent lightning damage.

2.2.1.7.1.14 Grounding and Bonding.

In the Equipment room/Mechanical room and NEMA enclosures in which the optical fiber cable is to be terminated, there is either a telecommunications main grounding busbar (TMGB) or a telecommunications grounding busbar (TGB); if grounding busbar doesn’t exist in the equipment room/mechanical room, then the Contractor will provide it and bonded to earth ground. The optical fiber cable shield (armor) will be connected to the busbar using hardware and a grounding conductor (No. 6 AWG green insulated wire) suitable for the application. The grounding conductor will be tagged with a nonmetallic tag as close as practicable to the point of termination in a readable position.

The information on the tag will contain the following information “If this connector or wire is loose or must be removed, please call Base Communications Office” or some similar wording. Although it is not anticipated that any splicing will be required in a maintenance hole, should there be some practical reason that a splice be made, the cable shield (armor) will be bonded and continuous throughout the cable length. In addition, the splice case will be bonded to the maintenance hole bonding ribbon, if it exists.

2.2.1.7.2 Closure for Underground Optical Fiber Cables.
