STATEMENT OF WORK

FOR

The Replacement of NWS Shreveport Gate Operator

WFO Shreveport

5655 Hollywood Ave.

Shreveport, LA. 71109

Background:

The National Weather Service (NWS) Southern Region (SR), Weather Forecast Office (WFO) located in Shreveport, LA. needs to have the front entry gate operator replaced due to inoperability of the current gate operator.

Objective:

Replace the existing Ramset All Secure gate operator and include all necessary components to seamlessly integrate it with the current loop system, Aiphone IX entry controller, and remote entry capabilities.

Scope:

1.0 Equipment Removal and Disposal

● 1.1 Removal: Disconnect, dismantle, and remove the existing Ramset All-Secure Rail Drive gate operator, old loop detector modules, and all associated obsolete hardware.

● 1.2 Disposal: Properly dispose of all removed equipment and debris off NWS property in accordance with local and federal regulations.

2.0 Installation & System Integration

● 2.1 New Gate Operator Installation: Supply and install a new, commercial-grade, heavy-duty slide gate operator (e.g., equivalent to or exceeding the continuous duty cycle of the existing Ramset All Secure system, featuring a minimum gate travel speed of 12+ inches per second).

● 2.2 Power & Electrical: Verify existing 120VAC electrical service (voltage/phase) and connect the new operator to the existing power source. Install a new, dedicated, weather-proof electrical disconnect switch at the operator site if required by local code.

● 2.3 Safety Compliance & Entrapment Protection: Ensure the new operator and installation comply fully with UL 325 and ASTM F2200 safety standards for automated gates. The contractor shall supply and install a minimum of one (1) pair of monitored, outdoor-rated photo-eye sensors and/or safety edges complying with these standards to ensure complete entrapment protection.

● 2.4 System Integration & Access Control: * Intercom/Access System: Integrate the new gate operator with the existing Aiphone IX intercom/access controller to ensure seamless remote opening capability from inside the facility.

o Loop System: Supply and install new, compatible loop detector modules within the new operator housing. Test existing loop wires for proper resistance, insulation, and megohmmeter (megger) readings to verify integrity prior to connection. Connect and calibrate the new modules to the existing in-ground 4' x 10' inductive loops (safety, exit, and/or shadow loops) and fully test for operability.

o Remote Entry: Integrate existing remote entry capabilities (e.g., radio transmitters/receivers, clickers, or keypads) with the new operator.

3.0 Testing, Commissioning, and Warranty

● 3.1 Testing: Perform comprehensive operational testing, including safety reverse mechanisms, loop detection sensitivity, Aiphone remote release, and manual override functionality.

● 3.2 Warranty: Provide a minimum 1-year contractor warranty on labor/installation, alongside the standard manufacturer warranty on the new operator and parts.

● 3.3 Training: Provide basic operational and manual-override training to designated NWS staff upon completion.
