1.0 GENERAL SCOPE

The selected Contractor shall furnish all labor, products, equipment, materials, and supervision for the demolition and installation associated with the NAS Defense Air to Ground (NDAG) Tower Installation Project at the Mt. Haleakala (QHK) Remote Center Air/Ground (RCAG) site located near the summit of Mt. Haleakala on the island of Maui, HI. “Demolition” includes but is not limited to site preparations for new construction and underground routing of cabling/conduit. “Installation” includes but is not limited to providing a foundation/tower design, installing a 60-foot tower with a complete lightning protection/grounding/bonding system, and installing RF cabling, conduit and all support equipment. Prior to “installation,” all equipment and material shall be reviewed and accepted by an FAA representative.
