- Description
- The US Government is looking for sources to provide, operate, and maintain Cable TV services for 14 locations within the UK consisting of US Air Force facilities at RAF Mildenhall, RAF Lakenheath, RAF Croughton, RAF Fairford, RAF Molesworth, RAF Alconbury and other facilities and US Forces housing areas. Currently, the Government is operating with a franchise agreement with contractor owned cable servicing approximately 5700 subscribers. The cable infrastructure on base and in military housing areas will now be Government owned. A new agreement must provide for distribution of US Armed Forces Radio and Television services consisting of 12 Channels (TV, Commander's Channel (where feasible), and Radio) plus all local broadcast television channels to authorized US Forces subscribers over the Government owned infrastructure. For those authorized personnel that live in base housing areas not serviced by the Government owned infrastructure, the Provider will issue a Government furnished Armed Forces Network (AFN) decoder and offer, at cost to the customer, the satellite dish and installation. The Provider would also be responsible for storage of the Government furnished AFN decoders and replacement of defective decoders. The provider would be allowed to provide and charge subscribers for a premium incremental tier service offering elective viewing of movie, sports, etc. Provider would also be encouraged to offer commercial Internet service and telephone access. Provider shall maintain all Government owned Head Ends. Please send a letter of interest along with a description of any suggested alternatives to the 48th Contracting Squadron, Attn: Tara Petersen, Bldg 55, Marham Road, RAF Feltwell, Thetford, Norfolk, IP26 4HL, or you can e-mail the information to tara.petersen@lakenheath.af.mil.
