This document addresses questions regarding the replacement of an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) at the Grosslittgen and Niederkail sites. Key clarifications include confirming that the IDS will not allow wireless communication but permits bus and conventional wiring. The camera count and locations have been confirmed to be a total of four cameras: two near the entrance, one on Building 2300, and one on the potable water building facing the wellhead. Both magnetic contacts and glass break detectors are required for window monitoring. Contractors must provide as-built drawings and changes to existing panels in both hard copy and digital formats. Only licenses for new systems are required. The minimum security clearance is a Base Entry ID, and while the solicitation is open to all bidders, the installing company must have VdS certification and trained/VdS certified electronics technicians. Existing cable ducts and conduits are available for use, and existing switches and cables can be reused for the three exterior wells requiring monitoring. The IDS will connect to the local PLC, which reports to the SCADA system for alarm dispatch.

The document, identified as Attachment 1 - SOW - Intrusion Detection System Replacement 26JUN2025_Redacted (FA560625Q2016), addresses numerous questions and provides clarifications regarding an RFP for the replacement of an intrusion detection system (IDS). Key requirements include ensuring battery backup for various locations (Niederkail Well "North" and "South," "Valve Chamber," Water Treatment Plant Grosslittgen) is sufficient for 3 hours due to emergency generators. CCTV cameras must be TAA compliant, record at 2MP/15 FPS or better, and store recordings for at least 30 days. While cameras should detect motion for video storage, this feature should not be used for IDS alarms due to wildlife. The IDS does not require a domain controller for user management. Cyber security requirements for off-base sites are under internal review and will not be discussed before contract award. The contractor will be responsible for plaster work related to the installation and removal of old systems, ensuring restoration to original condition. Digging permits typically take 2-3 days to approve. The ESS (fire alarm system) should not be touched, but programming changes will be required for the Kisters ProCos system in coordination with the government POC. The old Esser IDS system must be removed and disposed of. The anticipated installation time is 180+ days, allowing for any necessary clearing of bushes and hedges within permitted periods.

The document pertains to a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the replacement of an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) as part of a federal initiative, identified with the solicitation reference FA560625Q2016. It outlines various inquiries from potential contractors regarding specific requirements, including plaster work, battery backup times, CCTV specifications, and cybersecurity considerations. Key confirmations sought include the extent of plaster work needed for system installation, a standard battery backup time of three hours, and compliance with the Trade Agreements Act (TAA) for camera equipment. The project requires coordination with existing systems, notably the Kisters ProCos and Esser systems, along with programming alterations for effective implementation. The anticipated overall installation timeline is approximately 180 days, allowing for site-specific considerations regarding vegetation management. The document serves as a comprehensive framework for contractors to understand the scope of work and associated responsibilities, ensuring alignment with government standards and operational security needs throughout the installation process.

This government Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the requirements for replacing existing intrusion detection systems at Grosslittgen and Niederkail wells, and the water treatment plant at Grosslittgen, all located near Spangdahlem Air Base. The project involves installing new intrusion alarm systems, detectors, contacts, and cameras, all connected via wired bus technology (no wireless). These facilities are critical infrastructure for drinking water supply. The new systems must meet VDS Class C security standards, providing high-level intrusion protection. The contractor is responsible for all labor, materials, equipment, and necessary services, including the removal and disposal of old systems, installation of new wiring and components, and integration with existing SCADA systems. Special conditions include adherence to German and US safety regulations, strict work hours, security clearances, and proper disposal of waste materials. The entire alarm system must be from a single manufacturer, ensuring a coherent and coordinated system.
