Amendment to Solicitation for Installation of Fiber Optic Cable in an Existing Protected Distribution System (PDS)

The US Army is seeking a contractor to install a new fiber optic cable within the existing Protected Distribution System (PDS) at Fort Shafter, Hawaii. The project involves installing one strand of multimode fiber optic cable and terminating it at a switch using a 1 GB GBIC. The contractor will be responsible for providing the fiber optic cable and ensuring that it meets the required specifications. The project is expected to take 30 days to complete. The contractor will need to obtain access to the base and comply with all applicable regulations and guidelines. Some key points to consider include: • The existing PDS is in excellent condition, but the contractor may need to conduct a site visit to assess the condition of the PDS and routing conditions. • The contractor will need to provide their own equipment and materials, including the fiber optic cable and GBIC. • The Government will provide a 1 GB GBIC, but the contractor will be responsible for installing it. • The contractor will need to ensure that the installation meets all applicable standards and regulations, including those related to security and accreditation. • The contractor will need to provide a final report detailing the accredited PDS, certified performance, and compliance.
