Server Rack Replacement and Cable Management

The 355th Communications Squadron (355 CS), Davis-Monthan AFB (DMAFB), requires the contractor to replace 4 server racks and perform cable management on 11 racks in 355 CS data center. The contractor will provide a proposed Performance Work Statement (PWS) as part of its quotation, proposed period of performance, personnel, equipment, tools, parts, labor, supervision, management, and transportation necessary to accomplish server rack replacement and cable management services.

The total number of racks to be replaced is four, in Row #2, Racks 1-4. The contractor will remove the equipment from the existing racks, dispose of the existing racks, install new racks, and replace the equipment on the new racks. The replacement racks must include the following:

42U data center cabinet supporting 19” rack mounted equipment with the ability to accept rack cage nuts. Nominal width should be at least 29” with a front opening of at least 25”. Nominal depth should be at least 39” with rail depth up to 36”. Have adjustable rails. Have a single perforated front door and a double perforated rear door, both with lockable key latches. The top panel must have 4 cable openings, one at each corner, with included grommets.

Must have 4 vertical cable managers with fingers aligning between each U that are also in-line with the top panel’s cable openings but do not interfere with the installation or removal of rack mounted equipment. Must come with enough cage nuts and screws to populate every slot on all 4 rails. Must come with 2 vertical mounted PDUs (zero U), mounted securely, supporting 24 NEMA 5-20 outputs at 120V and a NEMA L5-30P input at 120V with the ability to be actively monitored via SNMP.

The contractor will perform the following regarding cable management. Replace and organize all connections in Row #1, Racks 7-14A (rack 11 doesn’t exist) and Row #2, Racks 1-4. Utilize maintenance loops using existing cable trays to provide neatness, accessibility, and to allow freedom of movement for future serviceability.
