PIDsRefresh SOW Updated.docx

1.0 General

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), is has a requirement to replace the existing fence mounted fiber optic Perimeter Intrusion Detection System (PIDs). The system in place is an Optellios branded FiberPatrol FP1000 system which was installed and commissioned in 2006 with portions refreshed in 2013 (server hardware, client hardware, software) the FiberPatrol system controller and fiber are original install. The PIDs currently protects our perimeter of approximately 6300 feet with approximately 6693 feet of deployed fiber optic cable (including maintenance loops). The updated system will be extended approximately 300 feet due to changes in our perimeter fencing. Cable length distances to be confirmed by contractor. A full system replacement of all components to include the fiber optic cable is needed. Newly installed PIDs system will meet or exceed the performance and specifications of the currently installed system.

2.0 Scope

The existing system consists of the FiberPatrol fence mounted perimeter intrusion detection system and FPRAMS Security Management System located in the NIFC data center, and a remote client running FPRAMS software located at the NIFC guard station. The current operating system is Windows 7 Professional. This update shall be a complete replacement of the fiber optic cable, hardware, operating system, and application to include the FiberPatrol system controller, server hardware/software, and client hardware/software. The updated system shall be compatible with NIFC’s current Microsoft OS, Windows 10 Enterprise. The current system allows for field configurable schedules to disable alarm sectors to minimize nuisance alarms due to gate use during duty hours. This functionality will be required of the new system. Upon installation of the new PIDs system a full calibration and inspection to certify the system shall be completed. The end result being a fully updated PIDs that maintains or improves the functionality of the current system.
