Statement of Work (SOW)

Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst (JB MDL) NJ

SONET Replacement Project.

1. INTRODUCTION. This SOW defines the requirement for the Contractor to Engineer, Furnish, Install and Test (EFI&T) into service, a replacement of the current Cisco Systems 15454 SONET Ring. This Statement of Work covers procurement and installation activities only.

No ongoing support, maintenance, or operational services are included or required as part of this SOW. The current SONET Ring does not ride the base network – it utilizes the base fiber plant only for interconnectivity. See Figure 1 and Table 1 below. There are Eight (8) locations spread across the JB MDL. Buildings (B) 1901 RDP Room, 1730 ITN Room, and 2217 Switch Room on McGuire proper. B 3369 Switch Room, B 5321 Dial Central Office (DCO), B 5632 ITN Room, and B 5656 Room 1311 on Ft. Dix proper. And Hangar 1 Switch Room on Lakehurst NAS. This project shall replace the existing manufacturer discontinued Cisco 15454 SONET equipment with an Optical Transport Network (OTN) equipped with (e/w) modules required to meet the Table 1 circuits. For the rest of this document, the OTN shall be referred to as the SONET Replacement System (SRS). This SRS shall not be on the base network but, like the current SONET Ring, only utilize base fiber (Layer 1) for interconnectivity. All future references to Government Furnished shall be reflected as (GFE). All locations are on the JB MDL, NJ. The Government will designate a Point of Contact (POC) and Project Point of Contact (PPOC) for this effort. The assigned POC for this contract is Mr. Brian Uldschmidt. The assigned PPOC for this contract is Kaitlin Diaz.

Table 1. Cisco 15454 SONET Circuit List

1.1. SCOPE.

1.1.1. The Contractor shall EFI&T an SRS serving the Eight (8) each locations. The Contractor shall EFI&T their SRS to the appropriate GFE CAT 5e, or Thin Net COAX, or Fiber Optic Patch Panels (FOPP) at each location with the applicable Contractor EFI&T patch cords. All GFE FOPP terminations are Snap-and-Twist (ST) connectors. At all locations, GFE cabinet (Except for B 5632, see below paragraph 3.4.) rack space is available for the Contractor to EFI&T mount their equipment. Each GFE cabinet has spare 110VAC, 60Hz recessed female outlets for the Contractor to EFI&T their SRS’s power connections or the required Contractor EFI&T UPS.

The Contractor shall EFI&T patch cables from these cabinets to the official GFE Demarcation Point, within the serving Comm Room(s). The Government shall provide cut sheets 10 days after contractor award, detailing circuit terminations for each location and the respective patch panels. The Government requires a commercial, carrier‑grade SONET/optical transport solution compatible with existing JB MDL network infrastructure. A Cisco‑based system is highly preferred due to established interoperability, life cycle support, and existing configuration baselines; however, equivalent solutions meeting all technical and performance requirements will be considered. All equipment, components, and materials provided under this contract shall be fully compliant with Trade Agreements Act (TAA) requirements and sourced from TAA‑designated countries.

1.1.2. Note: that if the number of circuits terminating in B 1901 requires an additional SRS expansion shelf, the Contractor shall EFI&T their equipment to meet B 1901 requirements.

If an additional SRS Core Unit is required, the two systems shall be contractor EFI&T to act as one unit. Either scenario shall be reflected in their proposal, their List of Materials, and all required documentation.

1.1.3. Existing GFE fiber optic outside plant connectivity shall be utilized by the Contractor to connect to all buildings in a fully redundant rotating ring. The Government is responsible for all fiber patches linking the 8 locations together within the JB MDL Core Nodes only. At all Eight 3 locations, the Contractor shall EF&T the required fiber patch cords from their SRS equipment to the GFE FOPP within the serving Comm Room(s). The Contractor shall also EFI&T all required cables for each location’s drop circuits (See Table 1). The Government shall provide each location’s fiber cross connections’ and drop circuits’, cut sheets. The Government shall participate in all cross connections with the Contractor.

1.1.4. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to test all their equipment and cables to ensure that they meet all standards and requirements. The Contractor shall correct any deficiency and provide the Point of Contact (POC) and PPOC all testing results. The Contractor shall provide an end-to-end test on all circuits to ensure that there is minimal interference and correct functionality.

1.1.5. Complete building floor plans shall be provided by the Government as part of the Contract Solicitation. These are provided for the Contractor to properly plan their equipment locations and required cabling lengths. Before installing equipment in any cabinet, the Contractor is responsible to coordinate with Government representatives that the cabinet is properly grounded. If it is not, the Government shall take all required actions to ground the cabinet properly.

1.1.6. Per the last Table 1 entry, there are 9 analog circuits from B 1901 to Hangar 1. These are 2 each 2Wire E&M circuits, and 7 each Voice grade circuits which are Plain Old Telephone System (POTS) lines. For the Voice Grade circuits, Hangar 1 shall be Foreign Exchange Office (FXO) interfaces and the B 1901 end shall be Foreign Exchange Subscriber (FXS) interfaces.

This requires the Contractor to EFI&T a Circuit to Packet (CTP) Layer II switch at both locations and connect them to the respective Contractor EFI&T SRS with an IP connection. The Government shall provide connection cut sheets and participate in all cross connections with the Contractor.

1.1.7. The Contractor shall EFI&T all materials, and perform all work to include making all cross-connection assignments and changes required to complete requirements as specified in this SOW. The Contractor shall provide a List of Materials to include all equipment to be installed.

The Contractor shall coordinate all installations through 87 CS and the Point of Contact. If any electrical work or coordination is required, the Contractor shall notify the PPOC and POC within five (5) business days of identifying the need. Following this notification, the Contractor is responsible for contacting the CE Electrical/Power Pro Work center at 87ces.ceoer.workforce@us.af.mil to request the required support. The Contractor is advised that CE work orders require a minimum of 4–6 weeks to process; therefore, it is critical that all electrical requirements are identified during site surveys to avoid delays.
