SECTION SF 1449 - CONTINUATION SHEET

The following have been added by full text:

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

1. PWS, 1.1. Scope of Work-The section states: The Contractor shall provide operable internet service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to an average of 1,000 Air Force users on Kandahar Airfield (KAF) with an average bandwidth utilization of 155 Mbps. Section 2.1.

Performance Objectives, table line 1 requires 155 Mbps Internet Service per user.

Question: Can you confirm that 155 Mbps dedicated to each user are required or the overall network bandwidth should be 155 Mbps?

Answer: It is a 155 Mbps dedicated uplink to the base.

2. PWS, 1.7.1. Internet Hardware and Infrastructure Requirements-Contractor shall provide all hardware and infrastructure external to KAF and all internal hardware and infrastructure not currently installed/in use or provided as spares by the government required to ensure the system meets specified performance objectives, to include but not limited to, satellite dishes, cables, switches, receiver, power systems, wireless access points, and routers.

Question: Considering that the PWS requires the contractor to price in hardware and infrastructure provision and installation, can we receive network/infrastructure plan showing nodes, user stations, access points that will be required as end-state system and current available network/infrastructure plan in order to assess the hardware and infrastructure requirements?

Answer: As you can see everything stems from the MoraleNet Core Node that is located here on KAF. From there the fiber is laid underground to the existing sites also labeled in the diagram attached. Unfortunately I cannot give a detailed map as to where these sites are on base due to Opsec.

3. Government Furnished Contractor Support-Installation Access Badge is approved in the summary for type of support the Government will provide to the contractor.

Question: Considering that we plan to accommodate our technical team outside KAF in our Complex which is 5 min drive from KAF, will the contractor be authorized access with vehicle as well?

Answer: Technicians should reside on base.

4. Question: Provide 155 Mbps Internet Service per user with no unexplained breaks in service: I believe 155Mbps bandwidth for complete network not per user.

Answer: 155 Mbps uplink to the base, not per user

5. Question: Bandwidth Per User: What will be speed limit for per user like 1Mbps or 2Mbps max with 100GB Data?

49. Question: PWS para 2.1., table on page 73 - For Performance Objective: ‘Operate, Maintain, & Manage pre-existing LAN”; the Performance Threshold is: “All equipment must be operational at all time.” Does the Government really require that network equipment operate 100% of the time? This is simply unrealistic. There is no network in the history of communications where equipment can be guaranteed to work 100% of the time. It seems a reasonable LAN uptime could be established with response and resolution times for equipment.

Answer: It is the government’s goal to maintain uninterrupted service for its users. It is understandable that a 100% uptime is unrealistic; however, this being said the 100% uptime is included to ensure that a proper response time is maintained and resolution time is in line with the outage at that given time. The PWS should maintain to include the 100% uptime rate.

50. Question: Provide information about existing network Equipment – Type and model used for Core and distribution – such as Switch, router, Firewall, Access points, Wireless Controllers, Bandwidth and User Management System?

Answer: the core node is a Cisco 6506, network switches are Cisco 3750 G/X and wireless access points are Cisco Aironet 802.11n Dual Band Access Points

53. Question: Provide us the latest network infrastructure diagram of current setup.

Answer: See answer to question 2 above.

54. Question: Is End client devices – are updated with latest OS / software and hardware – including antiviruses? Do we need to maintain / configure end user device – Mobile / tablet / laptop desktop?

Answer: Aside from registering user’s devices through Cisco Secure ACS. It falls on the user to update personal devices as they deem fit.

55. Question: Is stable power and UPS system available in all Network POP and Server Rooms?

Answer: Power is provided to the Core Node site and communication closets should be fitted with some sort of uninterrupted power supply in the event there is a power outage.

56. Question: For response to outages or planned / emergency maintenance, how is the access granted for our engineers as MTTR is required and set to 2hrs in SOW?

Answers: Contractors currently reside on station and will coordinate with the COR to conduct maintenance in communication closets/buildings.

57. Question: Will government provide My Engineer with Food, Water and shelter? Is there any requirement for engineers to stay overnight? other than planned maintenance or emergency issues?

Answer: See Local Clause 5152.225-5908. It is highly recommended that contractors reside on base in the event there is an outage.

Question: Price and Past Performance are the only requirements for submission, but given that this is a morale network for the troops, does the Government desire to receive a technical proposal explaining how the network will be provided and specifics related to PWS Sections 1.7 through 1.9.5? Requiring the technical proposal and adding it as an evaluation factor, will require the Government’s technical staff to properly evaluate the network and contractor capabilities, thusly decreasing the risk of an unqualified contractor winning the contract by offering a lower-than-market standard price and consequently providing poor service and deliverables.

Answer: By submitting a quote the Contractor is stating they will perform in accordance with the PWS. If a Contractor desires to submit technical specifications in addition to the 1449 they may do so.

61. Question: Is the current 155 Mbps of bandwidth guaranteed throughput, or is it contended?

Answer: The 155Mbps should be guaranteed throughout

62. Question: Is the 155 Mbps requirement refer to the connection speed to the “cyberspace/server equipment” OR the “connection to the internet”?

69. Question: Will the Government allow the use of microwave shots to extend the signals to wifi points across the base, and if so, will the Government assist with the frequency approval to do so?

Answer: The COR will coordinate with proper agencies to determine if a microwave shot is a viable option without violating Opsec or Emsec.

70. Question: Given the amount of questions and potential time required for the Government to accurately respond, would the Government consider an extension to the proposal deadline of Wednesday, March 1st, 11:59pm EST?

Answer: At this time the solicitation end date will not be extended.

71. Question; We would prefer to place two-to-three personnel on KAF to provide 24/7/365 administrative, management, and maintenance of the network, however the Government Furnished Contractor Support on p. 62 of the Solicitation only covers Installation Access Badges.

* CAAF is defined as Contractors Authorized to Accompany Forces.

** Applies to US Embassy Life Support in Afghanistan only. See special note below regarding Embassy support.

*** Afghanistan Life Support. Due to the drawdown of base life support facilities throughout the country, standards will be lowering to an “expeditionary” environment. Expeditionary standards will be base specific, and may include down grading from permanent housing (b-huts, hardened buildings) to temporary tents or other facilities.

****Check the “DFAC” AND “Government Furnished Meals” boxes if the contractor will have access to the DFAC at no cost. “Government Furnished Meals” (GFM) is defined as meals at no cost to the contractor (e.g, MREs, or meals at the DFAC. If GFM is checked, “DFAC” must also be checked.

Due to drawdown efforts, DFACS may not be operational. Hot meals may drop from three per day to one or none per day. MREs may be substituted for DFAC-provided meals; however, contractors will receive the same meal standards as provided to military and DoD civilian personnel.

*****Military Banking indicates “approved use of military finance offices to either obtain an Eagle Cash Card or cash checks.

******Authorized Weapon indicates this is a private security contract requirement and contractor employees, upon approval, will be authorized to carry a weapon.
