THIS IS A DRAFT PWS ONLY

Performance Work Statement (PWS) for

Remove Abandoned/ Unusable Copper Cable Infrastructure Services

1. Description of Services. The contractor shall furnish all equipment, tools, materials, transportation, personnel, labor, supervision, and management to conduct an outside plant (OSP) communications cable infrastructure site survey at Mountain Home AFB(MHAFB), Idaho, to identify OSP multi-pair cables, both underground and buried, that the contractor and 366th Communications Squadron (366 CS) may be candidates for removal. Upon completion of the site survey, the contractor shall provide the 366 CS Project Manager with a site survey report with the work plan for the project to remove abandoned/ unusable copper cable underground cables. Additionally, the survey will also detail and include the bilateral option for the Contractor to remove/decommission any Time Domain Multiplexing TDM system and associated equipment. This includes the identification for the Customer what supplemental fiber projects or copper consolidation projects can be accomplished through the use of the no-cost contract or charged at a mutually agreed to price. The customer shall review and approve which cables and associated appurtenances will be removed by the contractor and any additional work over and above the copper cable removal scope. The contractor shall remove the cables and associated appurtenances (splice cases, terminals, and associated equipment.) at no cost to the Government in exchange for possession of the removed cables and appurtenances.

2. Requirements

2.1. Distribution Systems and OSP Multi-Pair Cables

2.2. Cable Infrastructure Site Survey. The contractor shall complete a cable infrastructure site survey to gather data and identify OSP multi-pair cables now occupying ducts in the underground cable plant (the manhole and duct systems) and buried cables, which are abandoned in-place (AIP), are cut somewhere along the cable route or not connected to a central office main distribution frame (MDF); deactivated (may still be connected to an IDF), but are providing no service; or are providing marginal service (due to degradation of the cables) to a limited number of users; as candidates for removal at each site to be affected by this contract. For those cables that may be providing marginal service, the contractor shall propose a solution to transfer service, if practical, to another cable so the contractor can remove the degraded cable. The site survey methodology and procedure for identifying cables, which may be candidates for removal, is at the contractor's discretion, with final approval of 366 CS. Also, 366 CS may, at the Government's sole discretion, identify the cables that the Government wants to remove. The contractor shall create a site survey report documenting all information relevant to this contract.

The report shall convey to 366 CS the contractor's conclusions and proposed course(s) of action.

366 CS personnel will review the information and identify to the contractor the cables to be removed. The report format is at the contractor's discretion; however, the report shall provide all information and instructions (text, PowerPoint/Visio sketches, drawings) to identify and document existing conditions and all tasks relevant to removing the cables. The site survey report shall include the following:

a. Cable number (unless the cable is AIP and has no number)

b. Count (unless the cable is AIP and has no count).

c. Cable size (number of pairs)

d. Cable sheath type (plastic or lead)

e. Cable route

f. Cable length of each associated segment (for example, the number of feet of each cable size that makes up the entire cable length)

g. Cable point of origin (building number)

h. Cable endpoint (building number)

2.2.1. If a cable is to be removed or terminated on an MDF, the contractor will identify the central office connector type so 366 CS can determine if the connector should be left in place.

For example, if the connector(s) is/are Cook 6800, Reliable 700, Reliable, or Cook303 rather than a " space-saver" type (like R366, R305, R399, or C-388), 366 CS may want the contactor to remove the connector rather than leave it in place because the current generation connectors make much more efficient use of vertical space than do earlier connector types.

2.2.1.1. Identify the cable to which the contractor plans to transfer service if the contractor proposes removing a degraded, but still in service, cable.

2.2.2. Cable Records for Infrastructure Site Survey. The 366 CS Project Manager (Project Manager) at MHAFB will provide the contractor with all relevant records [drawings, diagrams, maps, cable pair assignment records (CAIRS)], to the extent that they exist, in both hard copy and electronic format to identify cable routes and manhole locations; and for determining distribution throughout the areas of interest. The drawing records may be Communications and Information Systems Installation Records (CSIR) in Micro Station format or from the Cyber Infrastructure Planning System(CIPS) Visualization Component (CVC). In cases where the records are incomplete or inaccurate, the contractor shall update them to depict conditions relative to the cables the contractor recommends for removal. The records provided by the Government under this paragraph shall remain the property of the United States Government, treated as controlled unclassified information (CUI). The contractor shall return records provided by the 366 CS to the Project Manager upon contract completion.

2.2.3. Contractor Site Survey. The contractor shall submit the results of its site survey to include the estimated duct space to release and benefits provided by the project. The site survey format is at the discretion of the contractor.

2.3. Integrated Product Team (IPT) Meeting. The contractor shall chair and attend in person, a weekly IPT meeting on MHAFB that includes the 366 CS Project Manager or their representative, the 38 ES/ENIE CSI-B, and base personnel as the 366 CS/SCXP (Plans, Programs and Resources office) representative deems necessary. The contractor shall provide an agenda and a worldwide "Meet Me" teleconference capability for those that cannot attend meetings in person for the duration of the contract. The schedule of the IPT meetings shall be determined and coordinated with the 366 CS representative. The IPT provides a forum for the Government and contractor to exchange information about the current contract status, schedules, known or expected problems, and other information necessary/beneficial to ensure success and timely completion of contract requirements.

2.3.1. IPT Meeting Agenda. Unless otherwise negotiated, the contractor will provide the 366 CS Project Manager with a written agenda no later than one (1) working day before the meeting.

To the maximum extent possible, the contractor shall schedule the weekly meeting for the same time and same day of the week. The contractor shall record meeting minutes and distribute them to all participants within one (1) workday following the meeting.

2.4. CS Point of Contact (POC). 366 CS Project Manager is TSgt Levonna Shockley. If this representative changes the 366th CS will identify another 366 CS Project Manager to coordinate contractor activities.

Restoration at each location may be subject to final inspection and approval by 366th Civil Engineer personnel in accordance with (IAW) guidelines set forth by the Base Civil Engineer.

2.5.1. Grounds Restoration. The contractor, at their expense, may be responsible for grounds restoration if prior approval is not obtained prior to start of work. To include backfilling, soil compacting, reseeding, resodding, or any other necessary material and services required to restore ground conditions to the original condition IAW guidelines set forth by the BCE.

2.5.1.1. Paved Surface Restoration. The contractor, at their expense, will restore asphalt, concrete, brick, paving, and stone at locations damaged due to activities performed by the contractor. Any asphalt, concrete, street, curb, or sidewalk replacement will be in accordance with guidelines set forth by the BCE. At a minimum, the restoration shall match existing strength, color (to the extent practical), and type of material. The contractor shall perform follow-up restoration if that location is not up to its original condition due to surface settling.

2.6. Cable Removal

2.6.1. Sequence of Operations. The sequence of operations is at the contractor's discretion, with prior approval from the 366 CS Project Manager.

2.6.2. Cable Identification. The contractor shall cut no cable until it has been positively identified (by the contractor using the contractor's cable identification methodology) and approved by the 366 CS Project Manager.

2.6.3. Outside Plant Underground Multi-Pair Cable. The contractor will remove underground multi-pair cables as agreed between 366 CS and the contractor. Removal will be by the contractor's cable extraction technique. The technique will not disrupt service or damage cables not to be removed or to the manhole and duct infrastructure. If a cable cannot be removed (hung up in the duct), the contractor will cut the cable and remove the splice (if there is one) so that a minimum of three (3) feet (if possible) of cable extends from the duct into the manhole and abandon the cable in place. Cables that need to be removed back to a splice to an active cable will need to be cut out of the splice, and the splice case end cap will be replaced. The contractor will notify the 366 CS Project Manager of any cables it cannot remove.

2.6.4. Pull Line, Duct Plugs and Micro-duct. The contractor shall install a pull line in all ducts from which the cable is removed. The pull line shall be flat, woven, polyester tape, pre-lubricated, with sequential footage markings with a minimum pull strength of 1800 lbs. After installing the pull line, the duct shall be plugged with a duct plug. The pull line shall be tied to the duct plug (to the integral rope tie attachment on the plug) or in the cable rack to prevent the line from being pulled back into the duct. In certain instances, and as directed by the 366 CS, the contractor will install a 7-way and 4-way 16MM micro-duct provided by the Government in the newly vacated ducts.

2.6.5. Pumping Manholes. The contractor is responsible for pumping out manholes. The contractor will coordinate with the 366th Civil Engineer (366 CES) personnel, or the AHJ, at each site for specific practices relative to where the water to be pumped may be drained (storm drain, surrounding ground, in the street, etc.). If the water is suspected to be contaminated, the contractor will notify the 366 CS Project Manager for prior to removal for resolution.

2.6.6. Buried Multi-Pair Cable. The contractor shall survey and include in the site survey report an option to remove buried multi-pair cables the contractor believes may be candidates for extraction. Upon receipt of the site survey report, 366 CS will review the option and identify any cable(s) that may be removed by the contractor. To the extent possible, the contractor's cable extraction technique will cause no disruption of service or damage to cables not to be removed or damage to other buried utilities or infrastructure. If service is disrupted or damages caused by the contractor to cables not to be removed, the contractor shall immediately notify the 366 CS Project Manager and restore services and repair or replace the damaged cable.

2.6.7. Cables Providing Marginal Service. If either 366 CS or the contractor identifies a cable (or cables), either buried or underground, providing marginal service, the contractor shall propose a solution to transfer the service to another cable, if practical. 366 CS will determine whether or not the contractor will remove the disconnected cable. If the service transfer is deemed appropriate, the 366 CS Project Manager will determine if 366 CS maintenance personnel will make the transfers, which will consist of running jumpers on the MDF and drops in the field at the building entrance terminals, or if the contractor will make the transfers.

Regardless of who makes the transfers, the Government will provide the jumper wire for the MDF and drop wire for the field.

2.6.8. Testing. The following test procedures will apply if it is determined that the contractor will transfer service from a cable providing marginal service to another cable. The contractor will furnish all test equipment and personnel required to conduct testing. During any testing phase, the Government reserves the right to perform or observe any contractor-performed tests to ensure results conform to prescribed requirements. The contractor shall record all tests as they are accomplished and make all test sheets/results available for 366 CS Project Manager review as they are completed. The contractor shall notify the 366 CS Project Manager at least one working day before any testing and shall make available all testing standards and criteria used to accomplish the testing. All testing will be in accordance with accepted telecommunications industry standards for the cable and the type of test being conducted. The contractor will provide test reports to the 366 CS Project Manager within ten days of completing the testing.

2.6.9. Service-Transfer

2.6.9.1. Cable Faults and Splicer's Errors. Only those specific cable pairs to which service is to be transferred shall be tested for grounds, shorts, crosses, opens, splits, reverses, and transpositions. The contractor is not required to locate and repair cable faults and splicer errors in existing cable.

2.6.9.2. Direct Current Insulation Resistance. An insulation resistance measurement shall be made between a conductor and its mate and the shield on cable pairs to which service will be transferred. The contractor is not required to locate and clear low insulation resistance in the existing cable.

2.6.9.3. Shield Continuity. The contractor will verify shield electrical continuity from the MDF to each building entrance terminal (BET) in the field, which contains pairs to which service will be transferred. The contractor is not required to locate and repair the open shield in the existing cable.

2.6.9.4 Post-Transfer. The contractor will verify that service is restored for all circuits that have been transferred.
