National Park Service Shenandoah National Park

12/22/2025 Statement of Work Replace Physical Security Cameras At Six Locations

Contents

General Information Shenandoah National Park is located in Virginia, ranging from Front Royal, VA to Afton, VA. The work will involve the removal of existing cameras, wiring, and conduit at six designated locations throughout the park. Following the removal, new cameras, wiring, and necessary conduit will be installed. Additionally, the project will include network programming to integrate the new cameras into the park's communications system, enabling remote monitoring capabilities. This upgrade will enhance surveillance efficiency and improve the park's overall security infrastructure. The physical location of the facilities is from North to South at Mile 1, Mile 31, Mile 65 and Mile 105 along Skyline Drive. Two Line-Item Options will be two Visitor Centers which are located at Mile 5 and Mile 50.

General Guidance Project Components The scope of this project includes a single video security system installation component addressing the physical security of government operated facilities. All network connected systems installed during the execution of the contract must meet the customer provided specifications for network security and telecommunications infrastructure design as well as achieve compliance with the National Electric Code (NEC) and customer specified telecommunications standards. See attached NPS-Cabling-Standard-v-1.4 rev2.pdf Component 1 - IP Video Security System The first component of the system addresses facility physical security through the installation of IP connected security cameras. These cameras augment the capabilities of US federal law enforcement officers ensuring the safety of government employees and visitors to our nation’s National Parks. The installation of network-based video security equipment must be accomplished using technologies that allow for the expansion of the customer’s existing video management system (VMS). Integration of new equipment will require the contractor to work directly with the VMS platform manufacturer and National Park Service staff during the installation and maintenance of the system. The contractor must work directly with the National Park Service in the acquisition and installation of all software licenses required to complete the project.

All communications cabling infrastructure installed during the execution of the contract must meet or exceed the industry codes and standards specified in the contract. Any deviation from installation methodologies or technologies specified in the applicable industry standard must be pre-determined acceptable by the project COR or the assigned government contracting officer.

Network Video Recording System The contractor will install and configure high-resolution IP network cameras that will be attached to a customer provided network video recording server running the customer’s enterprise standard solution Milestone VMS XProtect Corporate 2019 R2 (or current version at install time) recording server software. The Milestone Systems Corporate recording server and Cameras will be connected directly to the local area network (LAN) and equipment specific virtual local area network (VLAN) to which the contractor installed cameras must be connected. The contractor is responsible for the initial hardware and software configuration of all cameras to include updating camera firmware, assigning a static IP address, changing the default authentication credentials, aiming the cameras, and focusing the cameras. Once the initial configuration of a camera is completed, the contractor will provide the required configuration documentation to the agency designated technologist for integration into the recording server. The agency designated technologist must verify and approve the configuration of all cameras installed under the scope of the project.
