1.0 SCOPE. This Statement of Work (SOW) defines the requirements for the Contractor to

Engineer, Design, Furnish, Install, and Test (EDFI&T) a turnkey Giant Voice (GV) System that includes outdoor GV and indoor “small voice” for C2 buildings at Dobbins ARB, GA.

Contractor shall utilize the existing GV system equipment to the maximum extent possible for the required upgrade, as defined in this SOW. The upgraded GV system shall be able to communicate over the primary Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Radio Frequency (new repeater, contractor-installed) communications infrastructure and the existing backup land line copper communications infrastructure. [Dobbins has two main issues: at the forefront is the ineffectiveness of a multivendor system that impacts their daily critical missions, and secondly, the unreliable performance of their existing Giant Voice infrastructures (i.e., a legacy copper landline and an inoperative trunked LMR radio frequency infrastructure)]. The upgraded GV system shall provide sufficient intelligible voice coverage for the entire base populace with real time emergency alerting messages and accurate health system status. The upgraded GV system shall also provide an interactive map with display, color-coded status with detailed communications diagnostics of each node and/or components in the GV system; the display shall show individual buildings and quadrants for activation capability. It shall also provide comprehensive GV functions and capabilities, i.e., siren activation, sequence ID, a time and date stamp, unacknowledged alarms and reports, system alarms and events logging, and overall GV health status.

1.0.1 The Contractor shall upgrade the Giant Voice System, install new central control communications equipment and utilize the New (contractor-installed) UHF RF repeater infrastructure and existing backup land line copper infrastructure to transport voice announcements to the existing five (5) outdoor sirens, one (1) existing wall-mounted siren and one (1) new outdoor siren. The audible siren speaker messages shall be optimized, tested, controlled, and adjusted to prevent bleed-over noise into the surrounding communities. The new GV System shall be compatible with the Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) AtHoc

IP Integration Module 64 (IIM64).

1.0.2 The Contractor shall provide and install the new desktop PC Central Controller stations

(CCS) with a communications controller to handle all communications between the central control stations, indoor controller units, siren controller units, and the outdoor sirens. The central control units (CCU) shall contain the controller processor.

1.0.3 The Contractor shall provide the upgraded GV system with the reliable, resilient, and robust communications over the new UHF RF repeater infrastructure and existing backup land line copper infrastructure. The frequencies for the new UHF repeater are TBD (i.e., will be provided at the later time). Contractor shall consult/confirm with 94CS/SCX.

1.0.4 The Contractor shall furnish and install: seven (7) new Siren Control Units (SCU), eight

(8) new indoor control units (ICU), and fifteen (15) new APX4500 (or Motorola equivalent)

UHF radios for the upgraded GV system. Contractor shall retain the existing modems in the current/existing ACE3600 units at the designated C2 buildings and at the six GV remote terminal units and re-use those modems in the new SCUs and new ICUs. Contractor shall connect those existing modems to each new SCU and each new ICU to provide a redundant, reliable copper landline infrastructure for the upgraded GV system. The new RF Repeater infrastructure will be the primary operational method used for the upgraded GV system.

pg. 3 Dobbins ARB

1.0.5 Contractor shall provide and install a new Repeater (GTR8000 or Motorola equivalent) and new antenna for the upgraded GV system; see paragraph 3.2.5.1 for details. The GV system will operate on this new RF Repeater infrastructure as its primary means and the copper landline infrastructure will provide redundancy/backup, if and when the primary fails.

Contractor shall ensure the redundant copper infrastructure will have all the same GV operational functions and controls as the primary infrastructure.

1.0.6 The upgraded GV system shall provide terrorist attack announcements, weather warnings, Force Protection, chemical spills, active shooter, exercises, local accidents affecting base operations and/or general announcements, at a minimum; this is not an all-inclusive list.

1.0.7 The upgraded GV system shall provide intelligible audible signals, pre-recorded and live voice messages, and electronic communications (to include WAV files). Dobbins ARB shall have an upgraded GV system with the capability to disseminate rapidly and effectively the emergency information to warn all personnel immediately, and no longer than 10 minutes, before, during, and after incident notification and verification.

1.0.8 The Contractor shall provide pre- and post-proposal walk through information to analyze the project requirements, sound propagation analysis, perform engineering design tasks, and develop the data deliverables. The sound propagation mapping software shall be used to determine the sound travel, environmental attributes of the land, buildings and the effects on sound travel. This software shall be used to determine the best hardware to utilize and the preferred optimal speakers and locations for GV poles (towers).
