1.0 SCOPE

This Performance Work Statement (PWS) defines the efforts required to build five (5) towers and five (5) shelters to fully function before replacing their predecessors at JRTC. The current towers are located at:

• Mill Creek Tower, coordinate 31°5’1.03”N, 93°8’27.3”W

• Cemetery 13 Tower, coordinate 31°5’46.10”N, 92°58’38.40”W

• Southern Tower, coordinate 31°2’10.40”N, 93°0’45.30”W

• Peason East Tower, coordinate 31°21’1.33”N, 93°10’17.79”W

• Peason West Tower, coordinate 31°21’6.17”N, 93°19’41.095”W

This effort involves the below categories:

• Demolition of pre-stressed piles, radio towers and shelters including haul and dumping

• Concrete pouring for tower and shelter foundation

• Construction of towers and shelter buildings including all equipment for full functionality

• Installation of electrical support equipment including metal clad cable and 3-phase transformers

• Installation of communication hardware including fiber optic cables, TV systems and antenna

• Perform earthwork activities which include excavation, trenching and continuous footing

• Provisions for exterior improvement which includes concrete pouring for sidewalks/patios and installation of chain link fences/security gates

• Installation of supporting utilities which include electrical underground ducts and manholes, PVCs, and conduits

• All post, city, parish, state and FAA regulations and certifications shall be met

1.1 BACKGROUND

Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC) Tactical Communication Subsystem effort uses

Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) Information Technology equipment to properly operate, display, and protect the JRTC Instrumented Systems (JRTC-IS) while supporting rotations. This tactical data communication is transmitted digitally throughout the training area, collected at six different locations and re-transmitted via the JRTC Tactical Network to the JRTC-IS application servers and data collection/storage components located in the JOC (Building 1560).

The Tactical Communication Subsystem towers have been determined to unsuitable. The survey findings conducted by Civil And Structural Engineer (CASE) on Oct 2009 and confirmed by the

US Army Corps of Engineers, Tulsa District in May of 2013 conclude that the current tactical communication towers fail to meet the standards in accordance with Telecommunication

Industry Association (TIA) 222-G (Structural Standard For Antenna Supporting Structures And

Antennas) Structural standard.
