3.0 REQUIREMENTS

All electronic and information technology (EIT) procured through this EIPS and any resulting contract, must meet the applicable accessibility standards IAW Section 508, unless an agency exception to this requirement exists. 36 CFR 1194, Title 36: Parks, Forests, and public property, PART 1194 – Electronic and Information Technology Accessibility Standards, Subpart B – Technical standards, section 1194.23, Telecommunications Products implements Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended. The contractor shall ensure applicable Product Identification Items (PID) proposed and provided to the Government under this contract are compliant with the accessibility standards.

3.1 HOTLINES

The multi-line users shall be allowed to initiate a hotline call by going off-hook and pressing no more than one button. For two-way operation, one and the same button or single line instrument(s) shall be used or both initiating and receiving a hotline call. The key system shall provide direct hotlines between key systems stations that are terminated on the same system controller; direct hotlines between key system stations that are terminated on different key system controllers; and/or access to switched and non-switched hotlines connecting non-key system stations.

3.2 INSIDE PLANT

Inside plant equipment is typically equipment used at the telephone DCO, transmission equipment used to provide circuit termination to CPE, transmission systems to connect one node site to another node site, or hardware required to support mounting of equipment or routing of cables and wiring. Installation for the devices includes cross-connects and end-to-end channel tests to assure operational parameters are met for the connected equipment.

Equipment varies in two modes of installation: customer premise with a transmission channel to the DCO with the channel/ circuit continuing off-site or customer premise with a transmission channel to the DCO with another leg to another customer premise location on the site.

3.2.1 CHANNEL ACTIVATION

When equipment (single channel, DSl, Synchronous Optical Network (SONET), etc.) is installed at the customer location, the channel path (circuit leg) will follow through to the DCO. Cross-connects at the DCO shall be included and be provided for the channel activation. Each job includes activation of the channel path, adjustments for the transmission characteristics, network build-out balancing, cross-connects, and patch cable assembly. The entire path shall be tested end-to-end consistent with the type of channel medium, which includes assisting the customer with initial operational setup.

3.2.2 SWITCH EXPANSION EQUIPMENT

The expansion of an operational switching system provides modular expansion growth requiring only station line or trunk port cards to provide the needed lines and trunks.

3.2.3 VOICE MAIL INTERFACE

When the customer requires voice mail functionality, the requirement shall be provided consistent with the equipment provided (PABX, key system, etc). The effort shall include appropriate equipment software and interface ports. When identified by the CLIN /PID, the Contractor shall propose and provide a voice mail system compatible with the listed equipment.

3.2.4 UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLY FOR INSIDE PLANT LOCATIONS

Uninterruptible power supplies provide backup power during power outages. This includes uninterruptible power supply equipment and wiring to provide input AC power and output backup power. Signal and alarm wiring shall be included to provide system status to external monitoring system. Each installation includes mounting and securing the power system, installation and termination of the power cables, and termination of the wiring for signal and alarm to a designated monitoring system. The back-up capacity shall be specified in the work orders(s). The power supply shall be composed of chargers and batteries, and other equipment required to provide backup power for a system. The power output shall provide -48 to -52 volts DC (VDC).

3.3 SWITCHING SYSTEM POST-CUTOVER

If necessary during the performance of this contract, the contractor shall support BTS cutover requirements. The Contractor shall provide the expertise necessary to correct the ISP, OSP, and premise equipment cutover errors and anomalies encountered with a complete switching system and/ or OSP replacement. The Contractor shall provide all material, labor, tools, and equipment necessary to correct these errors. The COR will provide prioritization of corrections as needed. The period will also include the first weekend after switch cutover. Efforts include trouble shooting, repairing, and isolating failures such as database changes (in the switches, records management system, or cutover sheets); trouble isolation in OSP; isolating cross-connect errors and making corrections in premise equipment and Main Distribution Frame (MDF) Proprietary Phone (P-Phone) placement errors/ correction, etc.
