5. Specific Tasks:

5.1. Basic Services. The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform Low Voltage Cable Removal in Bldg. 3400 as defined in this PWS except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

5.2 Cable Identification and Verification Workflow

5.2.1 General Approach. The Government acknowledges that accurate as-built drawings and cable inventories are unavailable for Building 3400. To prevent disruption to mission-critical, life-safety, or dormant security systems, the Contractor shall not independently determine the operational status of any cable. The Contractor shall utilize a batch-identification and verification workflow, utilizing a "Proposed

Cable Removal Log," to obtain explicit Government authorization prior to the physical removal of any cabling

5.2.2 Phase 1: Tracing and Temporary Tagging. The Contractor shall employ industry-standard tracing tools and methodologies to identify potentially inactive or abandoned low-voltage cabling.

5.2.2.1 Upon identifying a candidate cable, the Contractor shall affix a temporary, highly visible physical tag (e.g., numbered zip-tie or label) to the cable.

5.2.2.2 The tag number must strictly correspond to a unique identifier generated by the Contractor for tracking purposes.

5.2.3 Phase 2: Proposed Cable Removal Log Submission. The Contractor shall document all tagged candidate cables in a "Proposed Cable Removal Log" and submit the Proposed Cable Removal Log electronically to the COR on a rolling basis. Submissions can be made upon the completion of a designated work area (e.g., a building wing, a quadrant, or a group of 50-100 cables) but shall not occur more frequently than once every two (2) business days. This approach is intended to create a continuous workflow, allowing Government review to occur in parallel with the Contractor's ongoing identification efforts. The log shall include, at a minimum, the following data fields for each cable:

5.2.3.1 Unique Tracking ID (matching the physical temporary tag)

5.2.3.2 Cable Type and Color

5.2.3.3 Source Location (e.g., IDF/MDF closet, rack, patch panel)

5.2.3.4 Far-End Location (e.g., Room number, ceiling grid coordinate)

5.2.3.5 Any existing legacy tags or labels found on the cable

5.2.3.6 Contractor's field assessment (e.g., "no voltage detected," "physically severed in ceiling")

5.2.4 Phase 3: Government Review and Verification. The Government retains ultimate authority and responsibility for determining the operational status of all facility systems.

5.2.4.1 Upon receipt of the Proposed Cable Removal Log, the COR will coordinate with facility stakeholders (IT, Security, Fire/Life Safety) to verify the operational status of the submitted cables.

5.2.4.2 Government SLA: The COR shall return the reviewed log to the Contractor within five (5) business days of submission.

5.2.4.3 The returned log will explicitly mark each cable with a status of APPROVED, DENIED, or HOLD.

5.2.5 Phase 4: Execution and Liability. The Contractor shall proceed with physical demolition and removal only under the following conditions:

5.2.5.1 Approved Removals: The Contractor is authorized to cut and remove only those cables that possess a physical tag matching an explicitly "APPROVED" status on the returned log.

5.2.5.2 Denied / Hold: Cables marked as "DENIED," "HOLD," or those for which the

Government cannot determine the status, shall not be removed. These cables shall be categorized as "abandoned in place," and the Contractor shall remove their temporary tags. If the Contractor identifies a cable that it believes cannot be removed safely or is inaccessible using the non-destructive access methods authorized by this PWS, it shall document its rationale (including photographic evidence) and present it to the COR. The COR and Contractor will conduct a joint assessment. If the COR concurs, the cable will be officially designated 'abandoned in place' and will be excluded from the scope of removal work with no negative impact on the contractor's performance evaluation or payment..

5.2.5.3 Liability: The Government retains ultimate responsibility for the verification and approval of cables for removal. The Contractor is authorized to rely entirely on the Government's final, written approval provided via the returned 'Proposed Cable Removal Log.' The Contractor shall not be held liable for any service disruptions that result from the removal of a cable explicitly marked 'APPROVED' by the Government. However, the Contractor remains fully liable for any damages or disruptions caused by its own negligence, failure to follow the approved log (e.g., removing a 'DENIED' or 'HOLD' cable), or damage to surrounding infrastructure.

5.3 De-Energization of Abandoned Cabling (System Deactivation). The contractor shall safely deenergize all abandoned low-voltage cabling that remains energized but does not support active systems.

5.3.1 Sub-Tasks and Performance Standards. The contractor shall:

5.3.1.1 Identify energized abandoned circuits.
