Fiber Optic Cabling

D3 DIVERSITY Description. The 96th Range Support Squadron (96 RANSS), 96th Range Group, 96th Test Wing is seeking information for the implementation of a dark fiber path between Cape San Blas, Florida (also known as D3) to Eglin AFB, Florida. The 96 RANSS seeks industry provider capabilities and experience for the design, implementation, and maintenance of a 24-strand dark fiber path, with regeneration properties where needed, between D-3 and Eglin AFB. Regeneration facilities will be owned and maintained by the Contractor, however, built for this Government project and therefore only house the Government regeneration equipment. Each regen facility will have an UPS to support all the equipment and a generator. The dark fiber must integrate into Eglin’s current standalone network. This fiber path will provide redundant capability for test data transmission to Eglin AFB, Florida and will need to integrate into and expand the current network infrastructure. Due to the requirement being a true diverse path out of D3, the fiber route must avoid using highway 98 as a path back to Eglin. The fiber must be able to handle 100 GB with a minimum RSL of -18dB is required for each segment of the path from D3 to Eglin and a round trip latency of 7ms or less. The government would like completion of project within one year of award date. The Government is looking for a turnkey solution to include all aspects of the environmental portion such as permitting etc. The Contractor must provide a maintenance plan for continued support of the fiber infrastructure for a duration of 20 years from project completion and acceptance. Include all aspects of maintaining and operating the fiber infrastructure (i.e. cable locates, emergency splices and repairs, typical maintenance and repairs and recovery times). Respondents are encouraged to focus on the following criteria to ensure responses are complete. a. Fiber optic design and planning experience with completed project references b. Experience with Major Range and Test Facility Base (MRTFB) Data infrastructure c. Initial plan and cost ROM d. Depiction of proposed route path or paths with regen facilities e. Milestone schedule Background. The 96 Test Wing (TW) utilizes a standalone terrestrial network to provide data transport for test missions. The additional dark fiber will provide a completely diverse path to and from D-3 and Eglin AFB. Location. Cape San Blas (D3) is located on St. Joseph Peninsula in Gulf County, Florida, approximately 90 miles southeast of the Eglin Reservation (estimated latitude 29°40'40.30"N and longitude 85°20'38.76"W). State Road (SR) 30E provides vehicular access to Cape San Blas. Eglin AFB Building 44 W. 104 Choctawhatchee Ave, Eglin AFB., Fl. 32542 D6 LEASED BANDWIDTH Description. The 96th Range Support Squadron (96 RANSS), 96th Range Group, 96th Test Wing is seeking information to lease bandwidth of either 1 GB or 10 GB from two of it’s locations back to Eglin. The 96 RANSS is looking for two separate quotes for each location. The first location is Venice Beach, Florida (also known as D6) back to Eglin AFB, Florida. The second location is Holiday, FL (also known as D-4) back to Eglin AFB, FL. The 96 RANSS is looking for either a dedicated circuit or recommendations for bi-directional network traffic between the locations, D-6 and Eglin and D-4 and Eglin. The 96 RANSS seeks industry provider capabilities and experience for the design, implementation, and maintenance of this solution, between D-6 and Eglin AFB and then between D-4 and Eglin AFB. The circuit path will provide redundant capability for test data transmission to Eglin AFB, Florida. The circuit must be able to handle the bandwidth chosen either 1GB or 10 GB and latency must be deterministic. Due to the sensitivity of some of Eglin’s systems, the leased path cannot change because of the strict latency requirements. The expected round trip latency is 15ms or less. The government would like completion of project within one year of award date. The Government is looking for a turnkey solution as well as a long term contract of 10 to 20 years. The Contractor is expected to maintain and provided continued support of the leased path for the duration of the contract to include all aspects of maintaining and operating the circuit infrastructure (typical maintenance and repairs and recovery times). Requesting responders provide four estimates two per route, first for 1GB and second for 10GB, per route, D-6 to Eglin and then D-4 to Eglin for the following information with their response: a. Telecommunications Services and planning experience with completed project references b. Experience with Major Range and Test Facility Base (MRTFB) Data infrastructure c. Initial plan and cost estimate per bandwidth requested, 1GB and then 10GB • Initial associated cost, non-reoccurring cost • Monthly cost • Yearly cost • Upfront cost for 10 year contract • Upfront cost for 20 year contract d. Description of solution with type of equipment that will service the path to include how this circuit is kept secure both physically and logically e. Depiction of proposed route path or paths with regen facility locations f. Expected latency- 96th TW seeking a predictable and consistent latency g. Milestone schedule h. Provide Service Level Agreement (SLA) Background. The 96 Test Wing (TW) utilizes a standalone terrestrial network to provide data transport for test missions. The leased path will provide redundancy to and from D-6 and Eglin AFB and/or redundancy to and from D-4 to Eglin AFB. Locations. Venice Beach (D-6) is located at 1200 Harbor Dr. S, Venice, FL 34285 in Sarasota County, Florida.
