Task 1 (Brief overview): PERFORM SITE SURVEY ANALYSIS

The Awardee shall identify the proper cabling, equipment, and infrastructure to meet the Government's requirements. This includes performing "on-site" site surveys to appropriately capture requirements, priorities, and needs and to identify potential growth trends that may affect network infrastructure, technology, and security requirements. The site survey shall include but not be limited to the following:

• Define the scope of the project.
• Test the existing cabling to determine if it meets current standards and is reusable (if applicable).
• Prepare a bill of materials for the project.
• Determine the cable network Electronic Industry Association (EIA) and Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) standards and applicable State and local codes.
• Document existing topologies.
• Provide a Firm-Fixed Price (excluding materials) for the project.

Task 2 (Brief Overview): INSTALLATION & TESTING

• Installation shall include Category 6 (CAT) copper plenum cable and fiber cable when required. In some instances installation of buried cable or underwater cable may be required. Installation of wireless devices may be required. The Awardee shall extend network connections from the point where telephone company lines terminate (circuit extensions).
• The Awardee shall label all installed cables in accordance with the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) and Electronic Industry Association (EIA) standards to ensure each jack in the building is assigned a unique number to support full and accurate labeling.
• The Awardee shall test cable networks for integrity, interference, static, and other cable specification problems.
• The Awardee shall prepare cabling as built drawings for each location where services are rendered detailing the cable design, terminations, routing, and numbering scheme.

Task 3 (Brief Overview): EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT / MATERIALS

• In the case of a declared emergency or terrorist attack it may be necessary for the Awardee to provide ICE with equipment to CONUS and OCONUS locations. This equipment will be ordered on an "as required" basis not in the form of pre-prepared "kits." Examples of possible equipment is bulk cat-6 cable, preterminated armor clad fiber optic cable, 19" equipment racks, patch panels, cat-6 and fiber optic jumper cables and cat-6 wall jacks. Government engineers will perform the site survey and installation at the ICE location. The Awardee will supply and ship the necessary equipment.
