ALBUQUERQUE DISTRICT

RADIO TOWERS INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

Part 1

General Information

1.0 General: This is a non-personal services contract to provide radio tower maintenance and inspection. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform radio tower maintenance and inspection as defined in this Performance Work Statement, except for those items specified as Government furnished property and services. The Contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2 Background: The Telecommunication Industries Association (TIA) Standards for Structural Steel Towers and Antenna Supporting Structures require guyed towers to be inspected every three years and self-supporting towers to be inspected every five years. Additionally, under Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) all radio towers need to be evaluated for electromagnetic radiation and signed appropriately. The specified towers below were last inspected in 2008. During the 2008 inspection, items were identified that needed corrective action.

1.3 Objectives: To provide tower and antenna inspection, maintenance and repair services, where appropriate, for six (6) United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) owned towers and antennas located in New Mexico and Colorado.

1.4 Scope: Services include corrections to be made from past inspections, tower inspections, antennas and lines inspections, evaluation of all towers for electromagnetic radiation, preparation of preventive maintenance reports and providing an updated USACE Tower Site list.

1.5 Period of Performance: All inspections, routine maintenance and reports shall be completed and delivered to USACE within 30 work days after contract award.

1.6 General Information:

1.6.1 Quality Assurance: The Government shall evaluate the Contractor’s performance under this contract in accordance with the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP). This plan is primarily focused on what the Government must do to ensure that the Contractor has performed in accordance with the performance standards. It defines how the performance standards will be applied, the frequency of surveillance, and the minimum satisfactory performance thresholds.

1.6.2 Recognized Holidays: The contactor shall not perform work on holidays.

New Year’s Day Labor Day Martin Luther King Jr.’s Birthday Columbus Day

President’s Day Veteran’s Day Memorial Day Thanksgiving Day Independence Day Christmas Day

1.6.3 Hours of Operation: The Contractor is responsible for conducting business between the hours of 8:00 am and 5:00 pm Monday thru Friday, except Federal holidays or when the Government facility is closed due to local or national emergencies, administrative closings, or similar Government directed facility closings. The Contractor must, at all times, maintain an adequate workforce for the uninterrupted performance of all tasks defined within this PWS when the Government facility is not closed for the above reasons. When hiring personnel, the Contractor shall keep in mind that the stability and continuity of the workforce are essential.

1.6.4 Notification: The Contractor shall schedule all inspection and maintenance activities with the USACE Operations Project Manager (OPM) prior to any work being performed and shall report upon arrival, and when leaving the facility. USACE technical personnel shall accompany the Contractor at the project tower site locations before any tower inspection or maintenance work takes place. Notification is particularly important if an activity has the potential for causing significant movement of the tower. Tower movement could result in a signal disruption and an out of service condition. Therefore, before guy wire tensioning or any other activity that could cause significant tower movement is performed, the contractor shall contact the OPM for approval. The contractor shall request approval at least 48 hours in advance of the proposed work. If the request for approval is for guy wire tensioning the request for approval shall be in writing and shall include a detailed description of the guy wire tensioning procedure to be performed.

(2) Record of Tower Alignment Check

(3) Record of Guy Wire Tensioning

(4) Antenna and Lines Inspection

(5) Tower Maintenance Report

(6) Tower and Attachment Inventory

(7) Electromagnetic Radiation Output for Each Tower

Crew personnel shall enter report data gathered at the site at the time the service is provided. Report forms shall be completed and provided to the USACE Radio Program Manager and a copy to each OMP for their project within 14 days after the completion of the inspection and maintenance activities.

(b) Contractor shall deliver to the USACE Radio Program Manager within fourteen (14) calendar days of the completion of a tower inspection and maintenance activity, a detailed report for the covered facility. Reports shall include but not be limited to the following information:

(1) General Site Information:

a. Site name

b. Site location (address, city, state, etc.)

c. Tower type, height, and manufacturer

d. Inspection date

e. Weather conditions

f. Name of crew leader

(2) Summary of faults. All faults shall be categorized as one of the following:

a. Priority 0 - Satisfactory condition - No work required

b. Priority 1 - Emergency Repair - Faults requiring immediate attention. Failure to repair the fault may result in tower failure, disruption of service, or injury to equipment or personnel.

c. Priority 2 - Routine Work - Faults requiring ordinary maintenance service. Fault should be repaired during the regularly scheduled maintenance. If the fault is ignored it could, over time, have an adverse effect on the performance or structural stability of the item.

d. Priority 3 - Future Work -Faults requiring attention within the next 12 to 24 month. Fault is not service critical and presents no immediate danger to equipment or personnel. However if ignored it could, over time become an Emergency fault.

b. Tower, twist and sway data sheet, including but not limited to:

(i) Description of method used to check tower plumb, twist, and sway

(ii) Temperature

(iii) Wind velocity and direction

(iv) Results from tests

c. Guy Wire Tension data sheet, including but not limited to:

(i) Description of method used to check guy wire tension

(ii) Design tension

(iii) Temperature
