TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS / REQUIREMENTS
ANNEXURE-III
Fault occurrence/reporting and Maintenance Procedure.
1.0 Fault occurrence/Reporting and Maintenance Procedure.
1.1. BBNL has developed an NMS (network Management System) with various modules like Fibre Management
System, Fault Management System, trouble ticketing, Provisioning, Configuration, GIS,SLA management
etc. The centralized monitoring of BharatNet/NOFN shall be done through NOC at Delhi/Bengaluru.
1.2 The BSNL users & vendor shall be given access of NMS for the purpose of fault reporting, compliance,
monitoring and data updating through web based interface and mobile app.
1.3 On occurrence of Fault in BahratNet, the GPON system will automatically generate alarms. In case of DCN
link failure manual TT will be raised in NSM TT module.
1.4 In the event of service affecting alarm generated /reported, the trouble ticket (TT) shall be generated by
NMS based on existing configuration & RCA and will be assigned to the concerned maintenance agency in
the following manner.
SN Maintenance Component O & M Agency responsible for restoration of fault
Incremental Fibre* Vendor
OLT Space & Infrastructure BSNL
OLT/ONT first Level BSNL
OLT-ONT Second Level # Equipment Supplier
DCN BSNL/Trimax
* The differentiation between incremental fiber and existing fiber may be possible only in certain
scenarios. In other cases, the TT may be first sent to Vendor.
# In many cases TT will flow to second level only after report from vendor.
1.5 Every TT will be assigned a unique TT ID. For any further communication in this regard, the TTID
should be quoted.
1.6 Fault intimation will also be sent to Mobile via SMS/Email of users configures as per the details
provided by Contractor based on their maintenance procedure . However the fault monitoring & resolution
is to be done through NMS.
12
BIDDER`s SIGNARURE
1.7 The operation of NMS/EMS is completely dependent on the functioning of DCN links. If the DCN link is
not through or the DCN link is not working, no activities including monitoring, fault reporting , automatic
TT generation, Provisioning, configuration can be carried out by NMS/EMS. Therefore BSNL shall ensure
the availability of DCN links as per provision in DCN agreement.
1.8 In the event of any DCN failure, automatic TT shall be generated from NMS which shall be sent to
BSNL and to BBNL PMU/OMU. Where the DCN link is connected byt OLT is untraceable due to OLT
issues, the TT shall be generated by NMS/EMS and sent to BSNL, Vendor, Equipment supplier and
PMU/OMU to ensure the reachability of OLT into NMS/EMS.
1.9 The trouble tickets may be viewed through NMS web interface or mobile app. The same may also be
notified to the assigned nodal maintenance officers(s) by SMS/Email. Data for mapping of TT to the
locations (fault jurisdiction), escalation levels including mobile, e mail Ids is pre-requisite and will be
provided by BSNL & contractor for configuration in NMS.
1.10. Vendor shall localize and repair the fault. Once the problem is resolved/ the fault is attended, the
automatically generated trouble tickets will move to “Resolved” state automatically. Manual tickets can be
resolved either directly in NSM application through web or calling BBNL NOC. Vendor shall ensure the
fault compliance after restoration work and NOC to ensure the restoration of the network before closing
the TT in case of manual TT.
1.11 Vendor shall restore faults as per SLA finalized between BSNL and Vendor. SLA shall be calculated
for the duration between the opening & closing the docket. Penalties/Rebates on non-compliance of SLAs
to be taken in account.
1.12 The trouble ticket (TT) can be closed directly or after TT owner enters the remarks/reason for faults as
per configuration (only resolved tickets can be closed) for all types of faults except fiber related faults.
1.13 An automatically generated TT cannot be closed if the underlying fault (responsible for creation of TT)
is not cleared. However , the MTTR for SLA defaulters shall be calculated based on individual
contributions to it.
1.14 For fiber related faults, the NMS application will ask for the confirmation regarding the update of fiber
related information in GIS. The GIS information including fault reason and section related data may be
validated with GIS team separately. In case of a new joint, the Geo Information System (GIS) through
web based access.
1.15 SLA shall be calculated for as per agreement with the maintenance agencies. In case of more than one
parties involved in restoration of link, the overall MTTR can be bifurcated accordingly. This may be done
by passing on the TTs from first party to second party through NOC.
1.16 Any planned/ preventive maintenance activity should only be taken up after prior intimation to BSNL ,
BBNL NOC and approval of BSNL & BBNL PMU.

Optical Fiber Cable Construction Specifications

OPTICAL FIBRE CABLE CONSTRUCTION PRACTICES FOR OFC IMPROVEMENT
WORK
The guidelines in the form of Engineering Instructions (E.I.s) on Construction Practices of Optical
Fiber Cables are issued by T & D wing of the Department, from time to time. However, the present
practices are summarized here under, from the point of view of describing scope of work under
various items of work. The document will need revision as and when practices undergo any
revision.
The Optical Fiber Cable is planned considering the following objectives of the scheme.
i) Minimum possible route length vis-à-vis route having maximum number of towns with
potential telecom growth.
ii) Linking of small exchanges of main road by leading in O.F.C. vis-à-vis routing the main cable itself
via such exchanges.
After deciding above-mentioned issues, a detailed measurement of lengths of cable route along with details
of rail/road crossings, culverts, causeways, etc. may record in the detailed survey register. The probable
locations of joints, terminations and generators may also be decided and marked on the route map. On the
basis of survey, general permission from road and all concerned authorities for laying the Optical fiber Cable
along the decided routes and permission for rail/road crossings will have to be obtained. Generally, O.F.C. is
laid straight as far as possible along the road near the boundaries, away from the burrow pits. The O.F.C. is
laid along the roads at minimum distance of 15 meters from the centerline of the road or in accordance with
the permission from the concerned road authorities in view of their road-widening plan. As the O.F.C. is laid
after obtaining due permission from all the concerned authorities to avoid any change/shifting at a later stage
and also disruption of services/revenue loss.
In special cases, where it may be necessary to avoid burrow pits or low lying areas, the cable may
be run underneath the shoulders at a distance of 0.6 meter from the outer edge of the road
embankment provided the same is located at least 4.5 meters away from center line of road and 1.2
meters below the road surface.
The Optical Fiber Cable is laid through HDPE pipes/PLB Blowing/Preinstalled rope type pipe burred at a
nominal depth of 165 Cms. The steps involved in OF Cable construction are as under:
1. THE WORK INVOLVES:
16

route/joint indicators made of pre cast RCC should have the following dimensions:
Base - 250 mm x 150 mm
Top - 200 mm x 75 mm
Height - 1250mm
The word ‘BSNL OFC’ should be engraved on the route/joint indicators.
The route indicators are painted yellow and the same are placed at 2 ft. away from the center of the
trench towards jungle side. The joint indicators are placed at OFC joints and placed 1 ft. away from
wall of the joint chamber facing jungle side and are painted red. The engraved word ‘BSNL OFC’
should be painted in white, on route as well as joint indicators. Numbering of route indicators/joint
indicators should also be done in white paint. The numbering scheme for route indicators will be
joint no. /Route Indicator No. for that joint. For example, 2/6 marking on a route indicator means
6th route indicator after 2nd joint. Additional joints on account of faults at a later date should be
given number of preceding joint with suffix A, B, C, D. For example sign writing 2A on a joint
indicator means, additional joint between joint No.2 and 3. The numbering of existing route/joint
indicator should not be disturbed on account of additional joints.
Enamel paints of reputed brands should be used for painting and sign writing of route as well joint
indicators.
16. WETTING:

18. CABLE PULLING AND JOINTING/SPLICING:
CABLE PULLING:
Manholes marked during HDPE pipe/PLB Blowing Type/Pre-installed ropes laying of approx. size
of 3m length x 1.0m width x 1.65m depth shall be excavated for pulling the cables. There may be
situations where additional manholes are required to be excavated for some reasons, to facilitate
smooth pulling of cable. Excavation of additional manholes will be carried out, without any extra
cost. De-watering of the manholes, if required, will be carried out without any extra cost. De-
watering/De-gasification of the ducts, if required, will be carried out without any extra cost. The
existing 6mm PP rope shall be replaced by with PP rope of 8mm dia between the two consecutive
manholes. This is to ensure that the HDPE pipes/PLB Blowing Type/Pre-installed ropes are
cleaned for pulling the cable without exerting undue tension on the OF cable. While cleaning,
excessive pressure should not be put which may result in breaking of P.P. rope and thus required
opening of additional manholes? However, in case the cleaning rope gets stuck up during pulling,
the location of clogging of HDPE Pipe/PLB Blowing Type/Pre-installed ropes should be measured
and located accurately. The trench at that location should be opened and the HDPE Pipe /PLB
Blowing Type/Pre-installed ropes should be cleaned properly or if not possible it should be changed
by a clean new HDPE Pipe /PLB Blowing Type/Pre-installed ropes to facilitate easy cable pulling
at a later stage without any breakage. If clogging of HDPE Pipe/PLB Blowing Type/Pre-installed
ropes is in the location where the pipes are protected either by RCC Pipe /PLB Blowing Type/Pre-
installed ropes or by concreting and the protection is broken for cleaning/changing the HDPE Pipe,
the protection thus removed should be brought back to normal by the contractor without any extra
cost. However, HDPE Pipes/PLB Blowing Type/Pre-installed ropes, RCC Pipes required for this
purpose will be supplied by the Contrctor/Vendor.
Jointing/Splicing:
25
BIDDER`s SIGNARURE
The OFC cable drums are usually of 2 kms in length hence optical fiber joints will be approx. at every 2
kms. The 6/12/24 fibers are to be spliced at every 2 kms. and at both ends (Terminations) in the equipment
room as directed by the Engineer-in-charge, should preferably carry out this work by contractor/vendor.
The joint chambers are provided at every joint to keep the O.F.C. joint well protected and also to keep
extra length of cable, which may be required to attend the faults at a later date. Jointing chambers are to be

20. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
20.1. Safety Precautions when excavating or working in excavations close to electric cables
The Engineer-in-Charge of the work should get full information from Electricity undertaking regarding any
electric cables, which are known or suspected to exist near the proposed excavation and unless this is done,
excavation should not be carried out in the section concerned. The electricity undertaking should be asked to
send a representative and work should be progressed with close consultation with them.
Only wooden handled hand tools should be used until the electric cables have been completely exposed.
Power Cables, not laid in conduits, are usually protected from above by a cover slab of concrete, brick or
stone. They may or may not be protected on the sides. It is safer, therefore, always to drive the point of the
pickaxe downwards then uncovering a cable, so that there is less chance of missing such warning slabs. No
workman should be permitted to work alone where there are electric cables involved. At least one more man
should be working nearby so that help can be given quickly in case of an accident. If disconnection of power
could be arranged in that section it will be better. No electric cables shall be moved or altered without the
consent of the Electric Authority and they should be contacted to do the needful. If an electric cable is
damaged even slightly, it should be reported to the Electric Authority and any warning bricks disturbed
during excavation should be replaced while back filling the trench. Before driving a spike into the ground,
the presence of other underground properties should be checked. Information on plans regarding the location
of power cables needs not to be assumed as wholly accurate. Full precautions should be taken in the vicinity
until the power cable is uncovered. All electric cables should be regarded as being live and consequently
dangerous. Any power is generally dangerous, even low voltage proving fatal in several cases.
Electric shock-Action and treatment:

Free the victim from the contact as quickly as possible. He should be jerked away from the live
conductors by dry timber, dry rope or dry clothing. Care should be taken not to touch with bare hands as his
body may be unauthorized while in contact. Artificial respiration should begin immediately to restore
27
BIDDER`s SIGNARURE
breathing even if life appears to be extinct. Every moment of delay is serious, so, in the meanwhile, a doctor
should be called for.
20.2. Safety precautions while working in public street and along railway lines
Where a road or footpath is to be opened up in the course of work, special care should be taken to see that
proper protection is provided to prevent any accidents from occurring. Excavation work should be done in
such a manner that it will not unduly cause inconvenience to pedestrians or occupants of buildings or
obstruct road traffic. Suitable bridges over open trenches should be so planned that these are required for the
minimum possible time. Where bridges are constructed to accommodate vehicular traffic and is done near or
on railway property, it should be with the full consent and knowledge of the competent railway authorities.
20.3. Danger from falling material:

Care should be taken to see that apparatus, tools or other excavating implements or excavated materials are
not left in a dangerous or insecure position so as to fall or be knocked into the trench thereby injuring any
workman who may be working inside the trench.
20.4. Care when working in Excavations:

Jumping into a trench is dangerous. If it is deep, workmen should be encouraged to lower themselves.
Workers should work at safe distance so as to avoid striking each other accidentally with tools. If the
walls of the trench contain glass bits, corroded wire or sharp objects they should be removed carefully. If
an obstruction is encountered, it should be carefully uncovered and protected if necessary. Care must be
taken to see that excavated material is not left in such a position that it is likely to cause any accident or
obstruction to a roadway or waterway. If possible the excavated material should be put between the
workmen and the traffic without encroaching too much on the road.
20.5 Danger of cave in:

When working in deep trenches in loose soil, timbering up/shoring the sides will prevent soil subsidence.
The excavated material should be kept at sufficient distance from the edge of the trench or pit. Vehicles or
heavy equipment must not be permitted to approach too close to the excavation. When making tunneled
opening, it would be ensured that the soil is compact enough to prevent cave in even under adverse
conditions of traffic. Extra care should be taken while excavating near the foundations of buildings or
retaining walls. In such cases, excavation should be done gradually and as far as possible in the presence
of the owners of the property.
Protection of Excavations:
Excavations in populated areas, which are not likely to be filled up on the same day should be protected by
barriers or other effective means of preventing accidents and the location of all such openings must in any
event be indicated by red flags or other suitable warning signs. During the hours from dusk to dawn,
adequate number of red warning lamps should be displayed. Supervisory officers should ensure that all
excavations are adequately protected in this manner as serious risk and responsibility is involved.
Notwithstanding adoption of the above-mentioned precautions, works involving excavations should be so
arranged as to keep the extent of opened ground and the time to open it to a minimum.
Precautions while working on roads:

The period between half an hour after sunset and half an hour before sunrise, and any period of fog or
abnormal darkness may also be considered as night for the purpose of these instructions, for the purpose of
28
BIDDER`s SIGNARURE
providing the warning signs. Excavation liable to cause danger to vehicles or the public must at all times
be protected with fencing of rope tied to strong uprights or bamboo poles at a suitable height or by some
other effective means. Any such temporary erection which is likely to cause obstructions and which is not
readily visible should be marked by posts carrying red flags or boards with a red background by day and
by continuously lighted lamps at night.
The flags and the lamps should be placed in conspicuous positions so as to indicate the pedestrians and
drivers of vehicles the full expanse i.e. both width and length of the obstruction. The distance between
lamps or between floors should not generally exceed 1.25m along the width and 6m along length of the
obstruction in non-congested areas, but 4 meters along the length in congested areas. If the excavation is
extensive, sufficient notice to give adequate warning of the danger should be displayed conspicuously not
less than 1.25m above the ground and close to the excavation. Where any excavation is not clearly visible
for a distance of 25m to traffic approaching from any direction or any part of the carriage way of the road
in which the excavation exists, a warning notice should be placed on the kerb or edge of all such roads
from which the excavation or as near the distance as is practicable but not less than 10m from the junction
of an entering or intersecting road in which the excavation exists. All warnings, in these should have a red
background and should be clearly visible and legible. All warning lamps should exhibit a red light, but
white lights may be used in addition to facilitate working at night. Wherever required a passage for
pedestrians with footbridge should be provided. At excavations, cable drums, tools and all materials likely
to offer obstructions should be properly folded round and protected. This applies to jointer’s tents as well.
Leads, hoses etc. stretched and across the carriageway should be guarded adequately for their own
protection and also that of the public.
21. Traffic Control:

The police authorities are normally responsible for the control of traffic and may require the setting up of
traffic controls to reduce the inconvenience occasioned by establishment of a single line of traffic due to
restriction in road width or any other form of obstruction caused by the work. As far as possible, such
arrangements should be settled in advance. If there are any specific regulations imposed by the local
authorities, these should be followed.
22. Work along Railway Lines:

Normally all works at Railway crossing is to be done under supervision of the railway authorities
concerned, but it is to be borne in mind that use of white, red or green flags by the BSNL staff is positively
forbidden to be used when working along a railway line as this practice may cause an accident through ----
--- drivers mistaking them for railway signals. When working along a double line of railway, the men
should be warned to keep a sharp look on both the “UP” and “DOWN” lines to avoid the possibility of any
accident when trains pass or happen to cross one another near the work spot.
23 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATION:
23.1. During the performance of the works the contractors shall at his own cost and initiative fully comply
with all applicable laws of the land and with any and all applicable by-laws rules, regulations and orders
and any other provisions having the force of law made or promulgated or deemed to be made or

7. Special Note on Security of Bids
Security related functionality has been rigorously implemented in e-procurement portal of Gujarat
Circle in a multidimensional manner. Starting with 'Acceptance of Registration by the Service
Provider', provision for security has been made at various stages in Electronic Tender's
software. Specifically for Bid Submission, some security related aspects are outlined below:
As part of the Electronic Encrypter™ functionality, the contents of both the ‘Electronic
Forms’ and the ‘Main-Bid’ are securely encrypted using a Pass-Phrase created by the Bidder himself.
Unlike a ‘password’, a Pass-Phrase can be a multi-word sentence with spaces between words (eg I love
this World). A Pass-Phrase is easier to remember, and more difficult to break. It is recommended that a
separate Pass-Phrase be created for each Bid-Part. This method of bid-encryption does not have the
security and data-integrity related vulnerabilities which are inherent in e-tendering systems which
