B.6 STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

1 Background

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s (NRC) responsibilities during an emergency response to a nuclear accident are to monitor, assess, and if necessary, direct the nuclear power plant to take actions to protect the health and safety of the public. In order to carry out these responsibilities, the NRC Region III telecommunications system requires installation, training, maintenance and support that allows for uninterrupted operation of the telecommunications system 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to fulfill the NRC mission of ensuring that the public is adequately protected.

2 Objective

The objective of this statement of work (SOW) is to provide a replacement NRC Region III Private Branch Exchange system that is based upon an Internet Protocol Private Branch Exchange (IPPBX) solution. The solution shall include voice mail, advanced system management capability and a blended solution of digital, analog, and voice over internet protocol (VoIP) technology for the NRC Region III Office in Lisle, IL.

3 Scope

The contactor shall propose a hybrid telecommunications voice system that supports VoIP, analog and traditional digital voice communications services. The proposed system shall provide for an integrated voice mail system, advanced system management capabilities as far as troubleshooting trunk/vendor failure, audio conference bridge capability (1 conference 25 ports) and all necessary switching systems, power over ethernet (POE) switches, ancillary telecommunications termination equipment not currently existing in the Region III infrastructure, fiber optic cabling and fiber optic termination equipment needed to operationally install and deploy the proposed system to meet the needs identified by this SOW. The contractor shall also use the existing spare station cabling (Category 5e) which terminates horizontally on all three floors at the NRC Region III Office. The system shall provide for call management, multiple basic rate interface (BRI) station ports, primary rate interface (PRI) circuits, and centralized system administration. The contractor shall provide for both end user and system adminsitrator training, maintenance and associated support as required within this SOW. The vendor will provide bumper to bumper support of the IPPBX including all hardware and software components provided by vendor. This shall include remote and on site technical assistance.

The Lisle office will be the centralized host for the communications network. The Lisle office will be a blended installation of IP and digital hand sets. The scope of work will require implementation on 3 different floors through contractor provided fiber connections. The main local area network (LAN) room will be on the 3rd floor with service to the 2nd and 4th floor wiring closets. Please note that existing LAN cabling will NOT be used for this installation. Veritical connections will be accomplished using the contractor installed fiber optic cabling and horizontal runs will be using the existing spare Category 5e cabling which terminates in each work area and the associated intermediate distribution frame room for each floor.

There are two (2) optional task/services at the end of this SOW in relation to the 16 remote sites that are associated with the Lisle office. There will be separate bids on that equipment and labor.

5 Contractor Tasks and Performance Requirements

5.1 Contractor Responsibilities

The IPPBX must interface with the local exchange carrier (LEC) currently Broadwing (Level 3) for local dial tone services and the General Services Administration’s Federal Technology Services (FTS 2001 Bridge) vendor MCI (doing business as Verizon Business Services) for long distance services. The Contractor shall perform testing and coordinate cutover activities with both the LEC and the long distance providers to ensure uninterrupted operations of regional voice communications and associated services.

5.2 Installation

The contractor will perform the installation of the IPPBX in two phases. Phase I will be the installation of the PBX and an associated test area located in the same or nearby offices for a sampling of each handset to be deployed during Phase II. Phase I will provide for system engineering, configuration, deployment of the new instruments with the number plan to each office, testing for internal system configurations, telephone set templates and system routines - such as backups and provide an opportunity for the NRC Regional system administration personnel to be trained on the operation of the switch without jeopardizing the normal day-to-day operations of the Regional Office.

Phase II will provide the final steps toward operational use by including the deployment, migration, and testing of the long distance trunks and the porting of the local DID and local number/trunks from the old system to the new system.

5.3 Implementation Plan

The contractor shall provide the Government with an overall implementation plan that will include the procurement, acceptance and delivery of the system equipment at the NRC Region III Office in Lisle, IL. The Implementation plan shall also address the installation of the IPPBX and associated hardware in the Region III Main LAN room on the third floor, the two phase implementation, and the cutover strategy with a contingency plan should the final transition not proceed as planned. The contractor shall provide the Government with a project plan identifying all critical milestones inclusive of user and system administration training, telecommunications services testing, system configuration testing, and the final migration from the old PBX system to the new IPPBX over a single weekend. Upon acceptance of the implementation and contingency plans by the Government, the contractor may proceed with the installation phases of the contract.

5.4 Installation - Phase I

The contractor will install the new system in the third floor LAN room. The contractor will be responsible for the installation of all equipment, ancillary devices, communications racks, switches, termination equipment, and system peripheral equipment needed to deploy a fully functional system. The new system will be run in test mode concurrent with the functioning existing Fujitsu PBX.

The vendor shall test the new system configuration with both local and long distance providers using test numbers to ensure that the system is capable of processing calls as designed and planned.

The vendor will also inventory all system parts for the Region III Property Custodian and provide the custodian with a sheet detailing all equipment parts that have serial numbers, inclusive of any system software.

The contractor will also inventory all telephone handsets and provide template services based upon the NRC Project Officer direction. Each handset configuration will be tested with the system to ensure operability for all handset functions and system features including voice mail and audio conferencing capabilities.

There will also be an inspection test of dial tone, features, and functions during an acceptance period of 8 hours prior to the implementation weekend. Once testing is demonstrated successfully and accepted by the NRC Project Manager the vendor will then be able to proceed with the cutover to the new system and the Fujitsu removal process. This will take coordination with the NRC Project Officer for local telecommunications as well as the NRC FTS DAR to ensure that the Region III services are not interrupted or that unanticipated local commercial telephone billing results.

5.5 Removal/Disposal/Credit of Existing Equipment

After extensive internal inventory, the successful vendor is responsible for removal and disposal of the exisitng Fujitsu PBX F9600-BASFA part #E00B-0307-B001, RatelCo Rectifier type FC4850 Model 102B-3606-04 and 250 associated desk and wall handsets. Any credit applicable should be listed separately but applied to contract bid. This effort of removal by the vendor will be coordinated with the regional property custodian in regards to the asset tag numbers as well as serial numbers. We will also require coordination with our building management regarding the elevator and dock access.

5.6 Warranty Overview

The contractor shall provide warranty coverage for diagnosis, parts, and labor for 12 months or longer depending on manufacturer warranty. The warranty will start from the day the new phone system is accepted by the NRC Project Manager. The contractor will be able to troubleshoot remotely working in concert with the NRC IT staff. The contractor shall repair/replace all inoperable equipment on site. The contractor shall not remove any equipment from the NRC facility without prior approval from an authorized NRC telecommunications representative. If equipment is removed it is necessary to leave like equipment functioning in its place. Please provide a plan detailing how you will accomplish this. The contractor shall provide the Government with a Point of Contact for the purposes of maintenance calls, both during and after hours, weekends and holidays. If you are unable to provide coverage for all areas, then you must provide sub contractor information.

5.7 Warranty - Emergency Response Time (Major Outage)

The contractor shall respond by phone follow up within 2 hours and, if needed, on-site within 4 hours same day for a major outage. Major outage is serious loss of function such as loss of 1 core system, loss of more than 1 PRI/T1 connection due to hardware failure, UPS failure, loss of Call Management System, loss of maintenance capability or loss of external incoming or outgoing call routing.

C.3SECURITY REQUIREMENTS FOR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY LEVEL I OR LEVEL II ACCESS APPROVAL (JUL 2007)

The proposer/Contractor must identify all individuals and propose the level of Information Technology (IT) approval for each, using the following guidance. The NRC sponsoring office shall make the final determination of the level, if any, of IT approval required for all individuals working under this contract. The Government shall have and exercise full and complete control and discretion over granting, denying, withholding, or terminating IT access approvals for individuals performing work under this contract.

The Contractor shall conduct a preliminary security interview or review for each IT level I or II access approval Contractor applicant and submit to the Government only the names of candidates that have a reasonable probability of obtaining the level of IT security access for which the candidate has been proposed. The Contractor will pre-screen its applicants for the following:

(a) felony arrest in the last seven years; (b) alcohol related arrest within the last five years; (c) record of any military courts-martial convictions in the past ten years; (d) illegal use of narcotics or other controlled substances possession in the past year, or illegal purchase, production, transfer, or distribution of arcotics or other controlled substances in the last seven years; (e) delinquency on any federal debts or bankruptcy in the last seven years.

The Contractor shall make a written record of its pre-screening interview or review (including any information to mitigate the responses to items listed in (a) - (e)), and have the applicant verify the pre-screening record or review, sign and date it. Two copies of the signed Contractor's pre-screening record or review will be supplied to FSB/DFS with the Contractor employee's completed building access application package.

The Contractor shall further ensure that its employees, any subcontractor employees and consultants complete all IT access security applications required by this clause within ten business days of notification by FSB/DFS of initiation of the application process. Timely receipt of properly completed records of the pre-screening record and IT access security applications (submitted for candidates that have a reasonable probability of obtaining the level of security assurance necessary for access to NRC's facilities) is a contract requirement. Failure of the Contractor to comply with this contract administration requirement may be a basis to cancel the award, or terminate the contract for default, or offset from the contract's invoiced cost or price the NRC's incurred costs or delays as a result of inadequate pre-screening by the Contractor. In the event of cancellation or termination, the NRC may select another firm for contract award.

SECURITY REQUIREMENTS FOR IT LEVEL I

Performance under this contract will involve prime Contractor personnel, subcontractors or others who perform services requiring direct access to or operate agency sensitive information technology systems or data (IT Level I). The IT Level I involves responsibility for the planning, direction, and implementation of a computer security program; major responsibility for the direction, planning, and design of a computer system, including hardware and software; or the capability to access a computer system during its operation or maintenance in such a way that could cause or that has a relatively high risk of causing grave damage; or the capability to realize a significant personal gain from computer access.

A Contractor employee shall not have access to sensitive information technology systems or data until he/she is approved by FSB/DFS. Temporary IT access may be approved based on a favorable review or adjudication of their security forms and checks. Final IT access may be approved based on a favorably review or adjudication. However, temporary access authorization approval will be revoked and the employee may subsequently be denied IT access in the event the employee's investigation cannot be favorably adjudicated. Such an employee will not be authorized to work under any NRC contract requiring IT access without the approval of FSB/DFS.
