The towers shall be mounted IAW manufacturer guidelines. The towers shall be anchored in the proper depth and amount of concrete capable of sustaining the tower in all expected adverse condition, as specified by the manufacturer. The contractor shall provide and install appropriate grounding to both installed tower/masts and junction boxes, IAW AFQCC 200-2; as provided. The contractor shall test the ground and provide test results to the government. The contractor shall install (2) weather proof junction boxes on the poles/masts (1) each) with no less than three feet of separation between the junction boxes. The boxes shall be 24 inches above ground level, large enough to house (15) ea. feed through type N male coax surge suppressors, with (15) Pre-punched holes big enough to accommodate series 400LMR coax cable and connectors approx. 0.4 inch. No less than (2) pull strings will be left in the system, going from outside junction box to inside junction box to allow for ease of adding cable in the future. The contractor shall provide and install weatherproof caps at the top or side of the external junction boxes for cabling from antennas and conduit to the manhole. The contractor shall trench two separate lines into the manhole system, 1 for each antenna. The Contractor shall ensure trenching route is clear of all utility's prior to excavation; clearing with NY One and the EADS Civil Engineering Department. The contractor shall run two schedule 80 (4) inch diameter conduit lines, one from each tower's NEMA box, into the ground, and run them through the core and into the manhole system as noted on the attachment. The conduit shall run 43 inches underground to the manhole to be below frost line. All contractors working in the manhole and trench are required to be confined space qualified. The contractor shall provide and install the (2) appropriate cores to the manhole system, one per classification. Each core shall be no closer than 4 inches to each other. The contractor shall run (15) LMR-400 COAX from each of the external junction boxes, through the conduits, through the cores, through the manhole system, through room 125C and to the final destination, another matching pair of junction boxes, located in a common central location in the building 700 catwalk area, near room 125B. Each line shall have an inline amplifier at a point where the antenna gain has been reduced to 10 db, and a properly grounded surge protector for each line where the lines enter the building. W50S8N20Q0017 Page 20 of 29 The contractor shall use schedule 80 conduits leaving the junction boxes on the towers, traveling through the ground and core into the manhole system behind the building 700/room 125C. The conduits shall be buried and core drilled into manhole allowing entry into building 700, one on each side of the manhole to allow separation of the classifications. The classified antenna coax will be run through one of the already installed conduits/pipes and the unclassified coax will run through another conduit to maintain a separation of 3 inches between classifications. The contractor shall keep unclassified cables and classified cables a minimum of 3 inches apart over the whole length of the run.
