STATEMENT OF WORK

(SOW)

Vandenberg SFB, CA

Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) Expansion

8 September 2022

VANDENBERG SFB, CA

Table of Contents

1. BACKGROUND

Vandenberg Space Force Base (VSFB), CA has a requirement to expand the current Ciena DWDM/OTN architecture of 18 current sites to numerous other locations on the base. The growing architecture is critical to the high speed data transport of Command & Control, voice, video, telemetry, timing, and security data that directly support the current base Space Operations mission and to Range of the Future initiatives. The recently installed configuration is identified in Diagram 1. The Vandenberg base fiber between current and required expansion nodes is saturated, and a high-reliability multiplexing system is needed to expand the ability to transport fiber optic (FO) signals across the installation using multiplex technology to use the existing fiber to provide additional transport capability without installing new OSP fiber. This statement of work accomplishes two (2) objectives:

a. Phase 3 expands VSFB DWDM/OTN by adding up to 18 OTN spurs and expanding existing core nodes to meet growing needs.

b. Sentinel installs 6 new spur Packet/OTN nodes to the existing architecture in support of the Sentinel program.

2. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

2.1 Period of Performance

The Period of Performance is 24 months from NTP (Notice to Proceed). This PoP is intended to account for currently increasing lead times for network and power components and related delayed delivery expectations. Given these specific delays, the Contractor shall schedule project activities to achieve an efficient and timely installation.

2.2 Working Hours

Installation shall be accomplished during duty hours (0730-1630). Most routine installation work cannot be accomplished during weekends, after hours, and Government holidays. The exception may be service interruptions. Any effort that may result in service interruptions must be coordinated with the 30 SCS Project Manager (30 SCS PM) a minimum of five business days in advance, and may be required to be performed after duty hours (2000 hrs-0600 hrs) unless otherwise agreed to by the 30 SCS PM.

2.3 Schedule

The Contractor shall provide an integrated master schedule and installation work plan (can be a single Integrated Master Schedule) to the Government that separately addresses Phase 3 and Sentinel requirements. The Contractor shall provide updates to the plan as activities are completed or as dates and deliverables may shift based on Government driven delays or vendor related issues affecting the timeline. This plan shall show critical milestones and include procurement, installation, configuration, testing, training and deliverables aspects.

The Contractor shall submit the formal draft of the integrated master schedule and installation work plan within 30 days of contract award for Government review and approval.

Schedule updates shall be provided to 30 SCS PM at weekly Integrated Process Team (IPT) meetings.

The Contractor shall track Government holidays and will be provided Launch Frame Light planning to schedule around these activities. See Launch Frame Light Paragraph 6.

2.4 Design Survey

The Contractor shall perform design surveys for each site. The Contractor shall provide a design and solution (including proposed installation activities) based on the results of the design survey required for this SOW and the RFP. The Design Survey shall be no later than 60 days after contract award. The design/solution shall be due to the Government for approval within 75 days after the survey.

Prior to any component requisition, the Contractor shall provide List of Material specifications to 30 SCS for review/approval.

The design solution for each site shall, at a minimum, include but is not limited to the List of Materials, floor diagrams and power single line drawings. The engineering floor drawings show rack, cabinet and equipment placement. Floor diagrams shall also show power panel connections from power panels, power runs, and, if site requires, new subpanel and transformers. AC and DC power single line drawings show power connections from DC rectifiers and batteries to new Ciena equipment. These drawings are critical for the base CES 332 process and Range approvals authorizing the installation such that efforts are not held up for Authorization to Proceed. Design Solution acceptance yields the Final Design which shall be in place 15 days before installation begins.

Project Support Agreement. The Contractor shall, as part of the Design Survey(s), finalize the design of the system expansions within 75 days after contract award. The Contractor shall develop and provide a Project Support Agreement (PSA) within 30 days after completion of the post award survey. Any design changes shall be coordinated with 30 SCS PM.

PSA Assumptions: at a minimum, 30 SCS will provide secured warehouse storage for project materials, overnight parking for utility vehicles, rack/cabinet designators, Contractor Project Manager (CPM) office space and IP Address schemes for DWDM nodes.

The Integrated Master Schedule, System Installation Plan & Project Support Agreement and Final Design deliverables require Government concurrence or acceptance. If that acceptance is not received via email within 15 days of submission, then acceptance is implied.

# Days after Authority To Proceed (ATP) Deliverable

VSFB requires CES 332 review and approval. Launch and Test Range Systems (LTRS) changes must follow Engineering Change Proposal (ECP), Installation Readiness Review (IRR) and Readiness Review Board processes. The contractor shall assume responsibility for or otherwise support Government efforts involved in these processes and creation of related artifacts.

2.5 Documentation

In the event a master key is lost or duplicated, all locks and keys for that system shall be replaced by the Government and the total cost deducted from a payment due the Contractor.

The Contractor shall prohibit the use of Government issued keys/key cards by any persons other than the Contractor’s representatives.

If the work being accomplished is considered minimal risk, a waiver request completed by and approved by the government may preclude work stoppage during the Frame Light.
