The 88th Communications Squadron (CS) supports WPAFB Local Area Networks (LAN), Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN), Wide Area Networks (WAN) and Department of Defense (DoD) unclassified and classified networks.

Scope of Work This contract will provide for sound management, installing, upgrading, re-routing, terminating, testing and removal of communications cable infrastructure at WPAFB as identified in the individual Task Order (TO).

The Contractor will provide inter-building cable plant work to include installing, upgrading, re-routing, terminating, splicing, testing, removal, cable acceptance, inspection, and labeling documentation of copper and/or fiber optic cabling running through the manhole/hand-hole, duct systems and/or directly buried of copper and fiber optic cabling.

The Contractor will provide intra-building cable plant work to include installing, upgrading, re-routing, removal, termination, inspection, testing, cable acceptance, inspection, labeling, documentation and installation/removal of copper and fiber optic cabling. This may also require the installation and grounding of equipment racks/cabinets and cable tray/ducts.

The Contractor will provide communications infrastructure to include installing, upgrading, re-routing, removal, modification, and repair of manholes/hand-holes, and communications duct systems. This may also include open trench, road crossings and boring of duct system, and placement of pre-made and cast-in place manholes/hand-holes.

The Contractor will plan and manage continuity of efforts between TOs. The Contractor will be capable of managing simultaneous TOs.

The Contractor will install government provided Wireless Access Points (APs) according to drawings provided. APs will be mounted with suspended ceiling mounts or wall mounts below the ceiling as identified by drawings. Short jumper cables (normally white) will be installed to connect the AP to the network drop.

Task Order Requirements Regulations and Guidance. The following standards will be used as applicable in the performance of this contract. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to obtain and adhere to all industry standards and best commercial practice documentation.

Base Facility Standard (BFS) or Installation Facility Standard (IFS), current version, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio OPR: 88 ABW/CE and 88 CS/SCX.

Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA)/Electronic Industries Association (EIA) Standards (See Appendix B).

Technical Interchange Meeting (TIM). A Technical Interchange Meeting (TIM) between the Contractor and the Government prior to each TO proposal submission will be conducted to enable the Contractor to verify the Government design, the physical parameters (e.g., quantities, cable lengths, manhole/duct availability) and conduit serviceability (e.g. test mandrel, conduit runs via manhole to manhole). The TIM will be scheduled within 7 business days of the RFP being released. If for any reason the contractor or the government needs to cancel or reschedule a TIM it must be done within a minimum of 4 hours of the start of the TIM.

If during the TIM it is determined that there is a scope change or changes/modifications are required to the proposed design, the Contractor will request that the documentation be updated to reflect the change within.

Proposal. The Contractor will utilize the Government package and information obtained from the TIM to develop a complete technical and cost proposal for implementation and integration. The Contractor will, as a part of the TO proposal, prepare a schedule showing the order in which the Contractor proposes to perform the work and the dates on which the Contractor contemplates starting and completing the salient features of the work.

Contractor will provide proposals according to the schedule specified in Appendix D.

A schedule must be prepared as part of the proposal. The schedule will be in the form of a progress chart of suitable scale to indicate appropriately the percentage of work scheduled for completion by any given date during the period of performance. Any change to the schedule will be incorporated into a revised schedule and submitted to the COR and PM in writing not less than 2 business days prior to the change.

Drawings. The Government PM will provide the Contractor with 2 copies C sized drawings to include but not limited to communications room, rack diagrams, cable diagrams, manhole or hand-hole and infrastructure work area drawings as required for each TO. The drawings provided are For Official Use Only and the contractor will not dispose or destroy them in any manner. These drawing will be listed in APPENDIX E.

The Contractor will inspect, inventory, and sign a hand receipt (AF Form 1297) for all drawings provided by the Government PM.

The Contractor will be responsible for safe-keeping of drawings and return all 2 copies to the COR 2 business days prior to the final walk-through for review. 1 of the 2 copies returned should be red lined as built and the final copy should be marked as a working copy to the Government COR.

Whenever the drawings conflict with the BFS or IFS, the drawings will take precedence.

The Contractor will follow all requirements provided on the drawings.

All drawings will be verified by a contractor and Government representative prior to the Final Inspection and turned over to the COR at the completion of the final walk through. Contractor will have no more than two (2) errors in accuracy per deliverable. (CDRL A001) If the Government finds any discrepancies with the redlined drawings the Contractor will be notified and have 2 business days to make the appropriate correction and return them to the Government COR.

The Contractor will have access to all available Base Civil Engineering (BCE) drawings, upon request, and base communications drawings to identify existing utilities and future utilities and/or construction, which impact the project. Base communications drawings will be supplied, when required. The drawings provided are For Official Use Only and the contractor will not dispose of or destroy them in any manner. The Contractor will verify the accuracy as applicable to the requirement and notify the Government PM of inaccuracies or discrepancies.

Labeling. The Contractor will refer to the BFS or IFS for labeling requirements unless the drawings specify that the labeling will deviate from the BFS or IFS. The Government will provide detailed instructions on the drawings of the label deviation.

Pre-testing. The Contractor will notify the COR at least three (3) business days prior to any pre-testing and will make available to the COR all testing standards/criteria used to accomplish testing, and testing results prior to government final inspection. The Contractor will perform a pre-installation quality inspection of Fiber Optic (FO) and copper cable on reels and already installed government cables prior to using. Any problems or failed tests will be reported to the COR before proceeding. (CDRL A003) The Contractor will perform end-to-end testing on all installed communications cabling. Installed copper cabling will be continuity tested for shorts, grounds, splice errors (i.e., reverses, opens, transpositions and split pairs), and loop resistance. Installed fiber will be tested to ensure the light loss will not be greater than manufacturer's specifications for cable and properly connected connectors. (CDRL A003) Post-testing. The Contractor will notify the COR at least three (3) business days prior to final post-testing and will perform end-to-end testing on all installed communications cabling with government representative present. Installed copper cabling will be continuity tested for shorts, grounds, splice errors (i.e., reverses, opens, transpositions and split pairs), and loop resistance. All deficiencies will be corrected prior to government acceptance. All horizontal cabling will be end-to-end tested after all terminations have been accomplished to ensure they pass the applicable category specifications. Fiber optic cabling will have both Optical Time Domain Reflectometry (OTDR) and attenuation testing. Installed fiber will be tested to ensure the light loss will not be greater than manufacturer's specifications for cable and properly connected connectors. The Contractor will test all fiber optic cables and make sure that any fiber optic cabling that does not meet the fiber optic standard will be checked, troubleshot, fixed, and re-tested; any fiber optic cabling that can’t be fixed after troubleshooting will be re-installed and tested to meet fiber optic standards.

Test Results. The Contractor will ensure the cable ID on the test results reflect the run locations as identified on the cable labels.

The Contractor will provide 2 copies of the post-testing results via electronic media (CD OR DVD) for each TO performed 2 business days prior to the final walk-through.
