The Contractor shall provide Community Area Television (CATV) for the Appropriated (Official) Areas on Robins Air Force Base in accordance with AFI 64-101, Cable Television Systems on Air Force Installations, and AFM 64-116, Cable Television Franchises. The Contract shall include service as well as installations for approved appropriated areas. 1.1 Cable TV Service and Maintenance. The contractor shall furnish all parts, tools, materials, labor and transportation to provide Cable/Digital Satellite Television Service at Robins AFB. Service shall be provided in accordance with industry standards. The contractor shall respond to reports of trouble within a reasonable amount of time not to exceed twenty-four hours. Weekends and holidays will not be included in the twenty-four hours for the administrative areas. The clock time shall include the weekend if the outage is determined to be in a public area such as the VOQ or TLF. If the trouble is determined to be caused by factors not contributed to the contractor's equipment or service, the Contractor shall notify the Government of the nature of the outage and provide an estimate for the restoration of service. =20 1.2 Cable TV Installation. The Contractor shall provide all parts, tools, materials, labor and transportation to install additional CATV service at Robins AFB. The Contractor shall respond within 10 working days to the request for additional service. The response shall include a detailed description of the installation with a drawing, a schedule for completion and a quotation if any costs are associated with the installation. The Government will review the response and may issue a contract modification to provide funding, if necessary to complete the installation. If the Government issues a contract modification to the installation, the contractor shall complete the installation request within 14 working days from the delivery of the contract modification, unless an extension is presented in the schedule. Reasons for an extension beyond the 14 days include installation of service requiring underground cable runs, trenching or extensive aerial runs. These shall be performed in a timely manner as shown in the schedule and agreed upon by the Contractor and Contracting Officer. 1.3 Cable Drawings. The Contractor shall provide the Cable Television Contracting Officer with a red line drawing of any new installations within 15 working days of the completion of the installation. Periodically, the Government will provide the Contractor copies of the base maps including CATV locations. The Contractor shall review these maps, make corrections and return the relined drawings within 15 working days to the Contracting Officer. The Government prefers the revisions in an electronic Microstation format, but will accept paper copies of the redline drawings.=20 2.0 Channel Capacity. There are two different coverage areas on Robins Air Force Base. The first area is the administrative office areas with a requirement for 'official use CATV'. The second area is the public sections falling within the 'official use CATV' coverage. These include areas like the VOQ, the TLF, the Gym, and the schools on base. AFMAN 64-116 says the Contractor shall provide "basic service" levels for 'official use CATV'. The 'basic service' for the Robins AFB shall consist of a minimum of 30 channels and shall include CNN, Headline News, the weather channel and the six local TV stations (WGXA, WMAZ, WMGT, WPGA, WGNM and WDCO).=20 3.0 Transition Period. In the event that the contract is awarded to another Contractor other than the incumbent, the Government will provide for a transition period to prevent the disruption of service. =20 3.1 Length of Transition Period. The maximum length of the transition period will be 30 days, but may be shorter depending in the length of time requested in the bid package. The Government may choose to allow the new Contractor to begin work before the existing contract expires or it may choose to extend the present contract for the required transition period. If the Government extends the existing contract for the transition period, it can exercise this option weekly on building by building basis, not to exceed 30 days. =20 3.2 Priorities in Transition Period. The building list shows two categories of buildings, administrative and public. Examples of public buildings are the VOQs and TLFs. Administrative areas are normally the offices and work areas as shown in the table. The public areas will have the higher priority during the transition. The new Contractor shall insure there are no outages in the public areas during the transition. The administrative areas will have lower priorities for service transfer during the transition. The Contractor shall provide the government a list of buildings without service, a timetable to provide service and a cost to provide service to each of the buildings in the transition period. =20 =20 4.0 Safety and Security. The contractor shall conform to all safety and security requirements and regulations applicable to contractor activity at Robins AFB. 5.0 Personnel. The contractor shall employ competent employees to accomplish the work described in this Statement of Work. The contractor shall not hire personnel whose employment would result in a conflict of interest or would otherwise violate DoD 5500.7R, Joint Ethics Regulation. 6.0 Government Access Channels. 6.1. If requested by the Government, the contractor shall provide a Government Access Channel(s) on the system for noncommercial use by the Government at no cost to the Government for the injected signal according to the guidelines in AFI 64-101, AFI 64-116 and AFI 33-117. The system shall be designed and constructed to permit the Government to originate programming for the Government Access Channel(s) from designated facilities located on Robins AFB. The Government will coordinate with the Contractor and the Contractor shall assure the Government that the system for the Government Access Channel(s) shall be compatible with the Contractor System and shall not degrade the Contractor Signal. 6.2. The Government will purchase and provide all equipment, filters, cables and supplies or manpower needed to inject the Government Access Channel(s) signal. The contractor shall ensure that the Government Access Channel(s) cannot be viewed outside Robins AFB. 7.0 Capabilities. The Government recognizes that, over the term of this subsequent contract, television technology, the regulation of television and the programming services available for distribution will undergo continual change. The technology, equipment, and services required by this SOW may become obsolete, uneconomical, or otherwise disadvantageous to the Government. The Contractor and the Government agree to consider, in good faith, proposals submitted by either party for modification of this SOW to permit the introduction of new equipment and technology or to otherwise improve cable television service at Robins AFB.
