The National Park Service, Northeast Region, requires 24-hour professional monitoring and annual maintenance of alarm systems across the Allegheny Portage Railroad NHS (Blair and Cambria Counties), Flight 93 National Memorial (Somerset County), Johnstown Flood National Memorial (Cambria County), Fort Necessity National Battlefield (Fayette County), and Friendship Hill National Historic Site (Fayette County). The contractor must own and maintain a UL-approved monitoring station, be an authorized dealer for Ademco, Honeywell, and Radionics/Bosch equipment, and employ certified technicians with at least three years of experience servicing these systems. The five parks collectively require 25 monitoring lines (both wireless and hardwire connections), with specific requirements including enhanced monitoring capabilities to identify specific sensors and buildings, monthly opening and closing reports due by the 15th of each month, annual inspections and equipment testing by June at no additional cost, and sensitivity testing at contract start and every two years thereafter.
The contract period of performance is twelve months from the date of award, with a base period and four optional periods exercisable at the government's discretion. The Service Contract Act applies to this procurement. The contractor must provide references demonstrating similar experience and maintain system access upon contract expiration without additional government cost.

STATEMENT OF WORK
Alarm Monitoring at the Western Pennsylvania Parks (WEPA)
D.0 NATIONAL PARK SERVICE
The National Park Service (NPS) is a bureau of the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) that has been entrusted with the care of our national parks since 1916. The National Park System currently has 433 units (often referred to as parks), covering more than 85 million acres in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and US territories.
The NPS also has more than 150 related areas that are linked in importance and purpose to places managed directly by the National Park Service by preserving important segments of the nation's natural and cultural heritage. They are designated by acts of Congress or by the Secretary of the Interior (affiliated areas). The majority of related areas are not units of the National Park Service and are managed by other government agencies or non-government organizations and landowners. The National Park Service is involved in related areas by directly managing the entire or sections of a related area, or by providing technical or financial assistance.
The NPS preserves unimpaired natural and cultural resources, and values of the National Park System for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations. The NPS cooperates with partners to extend the benefits of natural and cultural resource conservation and outdoor recreation throughout this country and the world.
The NPS – Business Service Contracting Division (BSCD) – Contracting Operations – Northeast Region – Philadephia MABO. The NPS – BSCD-Northeast issues contracts through the Federal Acquisition Regulation’s (FAR) for supplies, services, construction, A&E for Northeast Regional Parks only.
D.1 WEPA Park Descriptions Allegheny Portage Railroad NHS (ALPO The first railroad to cross the Allegheny Mountains, the Allegheny Portage Railroad was the final piece of the Pennsylvania Main Line Canal. "The Portage" opened in 1834, marking the first time that there was one, direct route between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. All things to all people, it served merchants, passengers, slaves in pursuit of freedom, and soldiers from the Mexican War.

Johnstown Flood National Memorial (JOFL) The South Fork Dam failed on Friday, May 31, 1889, and unleashed 20,000,000 tons of water that devastated Johnstown, PA. The flood killed 2,209 people but it brought the nation and the world together to aid the "Johnstown sufferers." The story of the Johnstown Flood reminds us all, "...that we must leave nothing undone for the preservation and protection of our brother men."

Nearly 3,000 people tragically lost their lives. Because of the actions of the 40 passengers and crew aboard one of the planes, Flight 93, the attack on the U.S. Capitol was thwarted.
