Description

Maintenance of a Fiber Turnkey Customer Provided Access Arrangement (FTCPAA), which provides a direct communication access path (via fiber) from the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren, VA to an AT&T Government Only Point Of Presence (GOPOP) also located in Dahlgren, VA. The FTCPAA consists of a fiber installation between NSWCDD and the AT&T GOPOP and DDM2000 multiplexers that support a SONET configuration at each of the sites. The Contractor shall be required to provide maintenance and spares for all equipment at each of the installation sites. Services required include all labor, test equipment, parts, travel, per diem, materials, fault management, telephonic support, operating software maintenance (routines that interface directly with hardware devices, computer operations and utility/ applications programs) required to keep all equipment fully operable. Services are required onsite at both installation sites, 24 hours/day, 7 days/week including Government holidays. Response is required within 4 clock hours after receipt of telephonic notice to the Contractor. The Contractor shall resolve 95% of plug-in failures within 8 clock hours after receipt of telephonic notice. Fault management support shall include remote diagnostics, monitoring of major/minor alarms, reports outlining performance of the DDM2000s and fibers, escalation of critical service issues, and monitoring of performance parameter thresholds to identify marginally operating equipment to ensure minimal downtime. Any intrusive testing requires prior written Government approval. A spares inventory is required to be maintained at both NSWCDD and the AT&T GOPOP. For failed equipment which is unrepairable or for which spares are not available, the Contractor shall provide identical equipment as the failed item. The Contractor shall provide fiber cable restorations to original specifications, if required. The action will be a modification to contract N00178-00-C-3001 with AT&T, Washington, DC under FAR 6.302-1. Total contract extension is 1 year (from 1 Oct 00-30 Sept 01). All responsible sources may submit a proposal referencing N00178-00-Q-3035 to Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division, Bldg 183, Room 106, Code SD13-4, 17320 Dahlgren Rd, Dahlgren VA 22448-5100 which shall be considered by the Agency.
