The goal for management of the river is to preserve and protect the scenic, recreational, paleontological, geological, and fish and wildlife values. The NPS needs to construct a digital-narrowband (EIA/TIA-102 compliant) radio communications system that will service primary park operations in support of law enforcement, emergency management, maintenance, resource management, interpretive, and administrative functions. Project Goals: This Scope of Work must accomplish five basic tasks (see System Components for details): 1. Install a base station, antennae and all necessary hardware and wiring at the Valentine Ranger Station in Valentine, Nebraska. 2. Construct and install a radio repeater system on private land adjacent to Smith Falls State Park. 3. Construct and install a radio repeater system at a site designated as "Norden", located about 1 mile north of The Nature Conservancy's (TNC) Niobrara Valley Preserve headquarters (N42-47-55.8 x W100-01-45.7) See reference documents; diagrams, drawings, maps, and photos. 4. Ensure that all systems are operational and meet required specifications. Tasks to be Completed (deliverables) include: 1. Excavate hole and pour fiberglass-reinforced concrete base (?4.2 cubic yards) for anchoring a 32' tower (Valmont 45V ) at the Norden and Smith Falls repeater sites. Fiberglass-reinforced concrete will be used throughout. 2. Pour fiberglass-reinforced concrete slab 7 ft. x 7 ft. x 5 in. (?1.1 cubic yards) for setting/anchoring equipment shelters (must assemble buildings) at the Norden and Smith Falls repeater sites. Fiberglass-reinforced concrete will be used throughout. 3.
