2. SPECIFICATION

2.1 Installation of wildlife camera

The contractor shall provide all labor, materials, tools and supervision required to complete the specifications listed below:

• Run underground feeder cable from the electrical panel in the Tailrace Park well house (35.653291, -79.066131) to the location at which the new wildlife camera pole will be installed (35.652622, -79.066241). This distance is approximately 250 feet in length. The feeder cable shall carry a “W” waterproof rating and run through Schedule 40 PVC conduit, installed at a depth of 18”. The use of trenching equipment is encouraged as there will likely be unconsolidated rock within 18” of the soil surface. Locating underground utilities is unnecessary prior to breaking ground as there are no known utilities in that area of the Tailrace.

• Pre-cast or pour in place an 18”x18”x36” (length x width x depth) concrete pad at the location of the new wildlife camera (35.652622, -79.066241). The top of the concrete pad shall be at no greater than 2” above ground level. Compression strength of the concrete shall be at least 3000 PSI (pounds per square inch). If the contractor ops for a pour in place concrete pad, the access road to get to this location is too narrow for a large cement mixer truck, but it is feasible for a tow-behind trailer-mounted mixer.

• Install/mount a new 15-20’ aluminum alloy or steel pole on the concrete pad. Pole can be round or square. The anchorage kit will include four steel anchor bolts conforming to AASHTO M314-90 Grade 55. The pole shall have a hand hole no less than 2”x4” with a cover suitable for use in wet locations to provide access to supply terminations within the pole or pole base. Pole finish shall be bronze, black, dark green, or brushed metal.

• Remove the existing PTZ camera currently mounted on a wooden pole located at

35.652020, -79.067232 and re-install at the top of the newly installed metal pole. A new mounting bracket may be necessary.

• Connect the PTZ camera to the power feed within the new pole, install and connect the separate antenna/transmitter immediately above the camera.

• Move the Wi-Fi antenna mounted on a porch column near the front door of the

Visitor Assistance Center (2080 Jordan Dam Road, Moncure, NC) to the porch column on the NE corner of the building. Wi-Fi antenna shall be oriented so that it faces the amplifier on top of B. Everett Jordan dam (located at 35.654189, - 79.067874). The power feed shall be run to the new antenna location and coaxial cable shall connect the antenna to a laptop computer located within the Visitor Assistance Center. The coaxial cable shall be installed above the ceiling tiles and/or through cable conduit where possible.

2.2 Payment

With the satisfactory completion of all terms in this Statement of Work, the Contractor shall submit to the Government two duplicate copies of an invoice for work completed under this contract. The invoice is to be submitted to:
