N--Service - Replace Coaxial Cable

The Malcom Randall VA Medical Center has a television system in house for patients. The television system has previously received an analog signal from Cox Cable. The local utility (Cox Cable) is converting the signal that it transmits to its customers to a Digital signal as an upgrade. The existing coaxial cable in certain areas of the hospital will need to be replaced with new RG-6 Coaxial Cable. The current television signal for the Hospital will begin to degrade over time if the wiring in MICU, SICU, the CLC and the ER are not replaced. The Government intends to replace the old RG-5 coaxial cable with RG-6 coaxial cable. Objective: Have a licensed, insured and bonded low voltage contractor replace the existing RG-5 Coaxial Cable with RG-6Coaxial Cable in the following areas: Community Living Center (CLC). CTSICU. MICU. SICU. Emergency Room (ER). Scope of Work: CLC Coax Furnish and install 50 RG-6 plenum rated coax cables, one homerun cable to each TV. Furnish and install all plenum rated coax. Furnish and install all RG-6 compression F connectors for each coax run. Label all coax to the VA labeling scheme. Test all coax and termination hardware. CLC Fiber Distribution System : Furnish and install the same Fiber to RF distribution system currently existing inside the VA. Furnish and install a new 1GHz Amp in the 4th floor demarc. Furnish and install one new 1x4 fiber splitter. Furnish and install 1 new fiber receiver, this will convert the signal back to RF. Furnish and install one 12 count SM fiber from the Demarc to the CLC IDF. Furnish and install all fiber termination hardware for proper housing of all fiber. Terminate all fiber with SC connectors. Label all new fiber to the VA labeling scheme. Test all fiber and termination hardware. CTICU Coax : Furnish and install 6 RG-6 plenum rated coax cables, one homerun cable to each TV. Furnish and install all plenum rated coax. Furnish and install all RG-6 compression F connectors for each coax run. Label all coax to the VA labeling scheme. Test all coax and termination hardware. CTICU Fiber Distribution System : Furnish and install the same Fiber to RF distribution system currently existing inside the VA.
