Description

The U.S. Air Force is seeking a contractor to engineer, furnish, install, and test twelve (12) single‑mode fiber‑optic strands between the Lightning Vault Building (Bldg 1603) and the ATCALS Weather Instrument site on Wake Island. The work includes installing new fiber‑optic distribution panels, complying with extensive explosive‑ordnance disposal (EOD) and UXO clearance requirements, handling hazardous materials, and coordinating logistics for equipment rentals, fuel, and personnel travel. The contractor must manage on‑site billeting, per‑diem, and adhere to strict safety and environmental protocols on a remote Pacific island base. • Install 12 SM fiber strands with associated distribution panels. • Perform required UXO detection, clearance, and MEC reporting per EM‑385‑1‑97. • Coordinate equipment rentals (MinX, trencher, skid‑steer) through ASRCC. • Provide on‑site lodging, meals, and travel support for personnel (airfare, baggage). • Ensure fuel (diesel/JP‑5) availability and manage fuel procurement. • Comply with concrete‑encased micro‑duct protection for road crossings. • Deliver testing and acceptance of the installed fiber system.

Budget estimate

$500,000 – $2,000,000

Based on the remote location, extensive UXO clearance, equipment rentals, travel and lodging costs, and the complexity of installing 12 fiber strands with distribution panels, the contract is likely to be in the mid‑to‑high six‑figure range. A modest contractor could see a base award around $500,000, while a larger firm handling full logistics and EOD coordination could receive up to $2,000,000. Factors influencing the final amount include the chosen method of trenching (concrete‑encased vs. PVC), the volume of hazardous material handling, and the number of personnel required for the project duration.
