Purpose

This Statement of Work (SOW) supports the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Western

Regional Center’s (WRC) Campus Wireless Network Project and involves the installation of new Cat6A copper and

Single-Mode fiber infrastructure cabling within the WRC campus located in Seattle, WA.

Background

NOAA’s WRC, has requirements to upgrade their network cabling infrastructure to attain increased performance, reliability and security in order to support a campus-wide enterprise-class wireless network. Wireless networking technology will have a positive impact towards improved business productivity, collaboration, and employee satisfaction. The WRC is seeking to provision wireless Internet access for visitors, guests, contractors, and staff to maintain NOAA’s image and standing as a forward looking technological workplace.

Objective

The primary objective of this project is to provide a cabling infrastructure to upgrade and support a wireless local area network (WLAN) including wireless access points (WAP), aggregate and core network switches, encompassing 38 wireless access point locations in four buildings within the WRC campus.

Scope

The contractor shall be responsible for planning, design, and install of an intra-building backbone cabling system.

For each WRC building, this structured cabling system will include Cat6A cabling between new wireless access point locations and the cable management system in the communications rooms/independent distribution facilities (IDF).

The main components of this cabling system shall be the actual cable, cable pathways, connecting hardware, and support facilities. This will include but is not limited to: cables, equipment rack, patch panels, patch cords, plugs/jacks, path and raceway components, J hooks, D rings, cable support, pull lines and accessories to provide a complete and working cable system.

In Building #1 only, the contractor shall be responsible for planning, design, and install of the backbone communications system. This shall include, but is not limited to, single mode fiber cabling from the main distribution facility (MDF)/Computer Room to the independent distribution facility (IDF)/communications rooms. The same main components specified above shall apply for this cabling system.

Part of the installation activities is the end-to-end testing of the installed cable and documentation of installed cabling and machine printed labeling is part of the scope of work.

Contractor fails to comply with the provisions of this clause.

52.209-10, Prohibition on Contracting with Inverted Domestic Corporations—Representation and

Notification. (Final) (FAR Case 2015-006) (Effective: November 1, 2015)

This final rule amends the provision and clause of the FAR that address the continuing Government-wide statutory prohibition (in effect since fiscal year 2008) on the award of contracts using appropriated funds to any foreign incorporated entity that is an inverted domestic corporation (under section 835 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, codified at 6 U.S.C. 395) or to any subsidiary of such entity. In particular, this rule modifies the existing representation at FAR 52.209–2 and adds a requirement in the clause at 52.209–10 to notify the contracting officer if the contractor becomes an inverted domestic corporation, or a subsidiary of an inverted domestic corporation, during performance of the contract. This rule will not have any significant effect on most contractors, because few contractors are expected to become an inverted domestic corporation or a subsidiary of an inverted domestic corporation during contract performance. Small business concerns are particularly unlikely to have been incorporated in the United States and then reincorporated in a tax haven.

52.211-6 Brand Name or Equal (Aug 1999)

(a) If an item in this solicitation is identified as “brand name or equal,” the purchase description reflects the characteristics and level of quality that will satisfy the Government’s needs.

(ii) Make or model number;

(3) Include descriptive literature such as illustrations, drawings, or a clear reference to previously furnished descriptive data or information available to the Contracting Officer; and

(4) Clearly describe any modification the offeror plans to make in a product to make it conform to the solicitation requirements. Mark any descriptive material to clearly show the modification.

(c) The Contracting Officer will evaluate “equal” products on the basis of information furnished by the offeror or identified in the offer and reasonably available to the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer is not responsible for locating or obtaining any information not identified in the offer.

(d) Unless the offeror clearly indicates in its offer that the product being offered is an “equal” product, the offeror shall provide the brand name product referenced in the solicitation.

(2) Before any substantial change occurs in the condition of the item, unless the change is due to the defect in the item.

The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing as soon as it is reasonably possible after the commencement of any excusable delay, setting forth the full particulars in connection therewith, shall remedy such occurrence with all reasonable dispatch, and shall promptly give written notice to the Contracting Officer of the cessation of such occurrence.

(C) EFT banking information is not required if the Government waived the requirement to pay by EFT.

(2) Invoices will be handled in accordance with the Prompt Payment Act (31 U.S.C. 3903) and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) prompt payment regulations at 5 CFR part 1315.

(h) Patent indemnity.

To remain registered in the SAM database after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates its information in the SAM database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete. Updating information in the SAM does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document.

(2)

(i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, “doing business as” name, or division name (whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding novation and change-of-name agreements in Subpart 42.12, the Contractor shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day’s written notification of its intention to:

(A) Change the name in the SAM database;

(B) Comply with the requirements of Subpart 42.12 of the FAR;

(C) Agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the responsible Contracting Officer. The Contractor must provide with the notification sufficient documentation to support the legally changed name.

(3) The Contractor shall not change the name or address for EFT payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in the SAM record to reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims (see FAR Subpart 32.8, Assignment of Claims). Assignees shall be separately registered in the SAM database.

Information provided to the Contractor’s SAM record that indicates payments, including those made by EFT, to an ultimate recipient other than that Contractor will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the “Suspension of payment” paragraph of the EFT clause of this contract.

(4) Offerors and Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via SAM accessed through https://www.acquisition.gov.

https://www.acquisition.gov/

(u) Unauthorized Obligations.

(1) Except as stated in paragraph (u)(2) of this clause, when any supply or service acquired under this contract is subject to any End Use License Agreement (EULA), Terms of Service (TOS), or similar legal instrument or agreement, that includes any clause requiring the Government to indemnify the Contractor or any person or entity for damages, costs, fees, or any other loss or liability that would create an Anti- Deficiency Act violation (31 U.S.C. 1341), the following shall govern:

(i) Any such clause is unenforceable against the Government.

(ii) Neither the Government nor any Government authorized end user shall be deemed to have agreed to such clause by virtue of it appearing in the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement. If the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement is invoked through an “I agree” click box or other comparable mechanism (e.g., “click-wrap” or “browse-wrap” agreements), execution does not bind the Government or any Government authorized end user to such clause.

(iii) Any such clause is deemed to be stricken from the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement.

(2) Paragraph (u)(1) of this clause does not apply to indemnification by the Government that is expressly authorized by statute and specifically authorized under applicable agency regulations and procedures.
