1 Purpose

1.1 Introduction. This is a non-personal service contract to provide a USAFA FARS network upgrade at the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA). The contractor shall be a factory-authorized Honeywell Notifier Engineered Systems Distributor (ESD) to program and integrate the proprietary systems required herein.

1.2 Background. The existing USAFA Fire Alarm Reporting System (FARS) is a proprietary, campus-wide network comprised of two primary systems: a Brand Name Honeywell Notifier network (including ONYXWORKS™ workstations and various panels) and a legacy Radionics system that reports over dialers. The overall network infrastructure consists of fiber optic cabling and wireless radios. This project requires a comprehensive upgrade of the FARS network to modernize the life-safety infrastructure, ensure operational effectiveness, and enhance the safety of all personnel and facilities.

1.3 Scope of Services. The Contractor shall provide all resources (i.e. materials, personnel, supervision, equipment, facilities, transportation) necessary to perform USAFA FARS network upgrade in accordance with (IAW) the Performance Work Statement (PWS). The contractor shall be responsible for accomplishing the specific tasks detailed in Section 3 of this document.

1.4 Period of Performance (PoP). The Period of Performance for this contract shall be twelve

(12) months from the date of contract award. The contractor shall complete all tasks, testing, and final network cutover, delivering a fully operational system within this timeframe.

2 General Service Requirements

2.1 Mission Essential Services. The services under this contract have been determined to be Mission Essential by the Mission Element commander.

2.2 Normal Hours of Operation. USAFA’s normal hours of operation are 6:30AM to 5:00PM, Mountain Standard Time (MST), Monday thru Friday. The contractor is responsible for conducting business during normal duty hours. The contractor is not expected to work when there is a base or applicable facility closure (i.e. Federal holidays, local or national emergencies, or Government directed).

2.3 Federal Holidays. The following federal holidays are currently observed by the Government. If a holiday falls on a Saturday, for most Federal employees, the preceding Friday will be treated as a holiday. It is the contractor’s responsibility to remain aware of any changes to designated Federal holidays. The following Federal holidays are currently observed by the Government:

2.4 Project Manager and Contracting Officer Authority. The Government will designate a

Project Manager as the primary technical point of contact for this requirement. The Project Manager will coordinate site access, perform technical inspections, clarify technical requirements, and facilitate day-to-day operations. However, the Project Manager does NOT have the authority to modify the terms, conditions, scope, price, or delivery schedule of this contract. Any changes to the contract must be requested through, and formally authorized in writing by, the warranted Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall not take any direction that changes the scope or price of this effort without explicit written modification from the Contracting Officer.

3 Description of Services

3.1 The contractor shall execute the FARS upgrade to achieve a fully integrated, high-speed reporting network. The specific performance objectives include:

3.2 Task 1 – Legacy Panel Upgrades. The contractor shall provide and install all equipment required to replace existing legacy fire alarm control panels that are incompatible with the new high-speed network. Upgraded panels shall integrate seamlessly into the existing ONYXWORKS™ architecture.

3.3 Task 2 – Network Card & Firmware Upgrades. The contractor shall perform system-wide firmware updates and install high-speed fiber-optic network communications modules on all compatible existing panels to establish high-speed campus connectivity.

3.4 Task 3 – Gateway Installation. The contractor shall install, program, and test new intelligent gateway interfaces for the ONYXWORKS system to manage the upgraded network traffic and ensure reliable alarm routing.

3.5 Task 4 – Wireless Network Integration (10Buildings). For the 10 designated facilities lacking physical fiber optic connectivity, the contractor shall provide and install a complete wireless network solution utilizing military-approved point-to-point radios (e.g., Cambium Networks or equal) to bridge these facilities to the main FARS network.

3.6 Task 5 – Legacy Radionics System Integration. The contractor shall analyze and integrate (or replace) the legacy Radionics alarm system. The final performance outcome shall ensure all alarm points from the Radionics system are successfully migrated to the upgraded high-speed FARS network, eliminating the need for traditional dialer-based reporting.

3.7 Task 6 - Testing and Network Cutover. The contractor shall conduct comprehensive system testing and manage a phased network cutover, ensuring zero loss of life-safety monitoring capabilities during the transition.
