About this file
This file contains four questions for industry feedback regarding an RFI for Protected Distribution System (PDS) overhaul services at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska. The questions focus on technical specifications and implementation logistics, specifically addressing the adequacy of existing 18" x 18" x 9" distribution boxes for housing MPO distribution panels, the feasibility of using existing piping for the fiber expansion, estimated downtime requirements for 2nd and 3rd floor work, and the ability to segment work on the 1st floor to minimize disruption.
The questions relate to a broader RFI seeking contractor capabilities to overhaul an existing PDS in Building 9840, which includes replacing single-strand fiber with high-density MPO/MTP cables, retipping existing MTRJ fiber lines to LC connectors, and installing new distribution panels. Responses are due by 1000 Alaska Standard Time on February 11, 2025, and should be submitted via email to Zachery Pullen at the provided email address.

Questions for Industry
1. The current distribution boxes installed in the ceilings throughout the building are 18” x 18” x 9”, will these boxes be large enough to install and house the distribution panels or break away kits for the MPO?
a. If not, what is the current commercial size standard for these assets?
2. To the best of your expertise/understanding of this service, would it be feasible to utilize existing piping to expand and overhaul the PDS fiber for this service or do you believe it would be necessary to install additional piping to accomplish this task?
3. Is you are able to remove and reinstall fiber entirely at once for the 2nd and 3rd floor, are you able to estimate the downtime required to perform the work?
4. The 1st floor will be the most difficult to coordinate. Will we be able to segment the work to accomplish the project in phases so that the downtime is very minimal?
