(1) Install additional wireless access point systems, estimated cost = $200,000. The requirement is to award modifications to the construction contract to include all work associated with the installation of additional components to support the WAP system which includes head-end equipment, cabling, devices, amplifiers as detailed in the telecommunication plans and specifications associated with the Lincoln Hall Renovation project.

Equipment that is existing to be relocated or new equipment will be provided by the government and installed by the contractor. The Government intends to award this item of work as a construction modification to the contract W912DS23C0025 contractor. This additional WAPs are required during the Lincoln Hall renovation construction project to minimize impacts to operations at the United States Military Academy.

Modifications to the existing Lincoln Hall contract is beneficial to the government because the Lincoln Hall contractor is familiar with the Lincoln Hall renovation contract. The Lincoln Hall construction contractor currently has supervisors and administrative staff onsite overseeing other contract work as well as a dedicated laydown areas established within the work area.

Awarding this work to a new contractor would be cost prohibitive to the government because a separate contractor would be required to coordinate with an active construction project and within an active constriction site, as well as provide additional overhead and storage/laydown costs.
