Additionally, the contractor must open tower top preamp boxes to inspect for leakage and replace gaskets as needed, inspect wiring for wear, tie down wiring to tower legs as needed, and respond to emergency outages twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, three hundred sixty-five days a year. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States of America. The agency requires all performance of the work to take place onsite at the tower locations.
