DESCRIPTION / SPECIFICATIONS / WORK STATEMENT

A.1 BACKGROUND

Beverly National Cemetery was established as a National Cemetery in 1864 with original interments made from soldiers who died in the hospitals of Beverly, NJ during the Civil War.

The cemetery is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and has five Medal of Honor recipients buried there. The cemetery which is closed to first interments, but completes several second interments a year is a satellite cemetery under the supervision of the Director and staff of the Washington Crossing National Cemetery which is located at 830 Highland Rd., Newtown Pa. 18940 approximately 21 miles from the Beverly National Cemetery.

Beverly National Cemetery is a National Shrine that honors our Veterans with a final resting place and lasting memorials that commemorate their service to our Nation. The cemetery conducts both casketed and cremation burials, receiving many visitors therefore, standards of maintenance & appearance must reflect the Nation’s concern for those interred there. Because of the special significance and attention each national cemetery receives from the public, strict adherence to contract specifications, terms and condition is essential.

Every action by contractor personnel at a national cemetery must be performed with the exceptional care, reverence, dignity, and respect that acknowledges the cemetery as the final resting place that commemorates the service and sacrifice that service members, Veterans and their families made for our Nation. Critically important is the awareness required of the Contractor employees of the remains buried in the grounds where the work is performed.

The gravesite must be available for visitation within one (1) and one-half (½) hours after the interment service.

(iii) Gravesites measure approximately 5’ wide x 9’ in length unless otherwise advised by the COR, and shall be excavated to five (5) feet or seven (7) feet, depending on the number of interments. Prior to the start of the interment process, the COR shall advise the Contractor of the required depth, width, and length prior to any excavation operation and/or whether the interment shall be placed side by side.

(iv) When a gravesite is excavated to receive a second interment and is found to be of insufficient depth to permit the second interment, the COR shall be notified before any remains are lowered or moved within the gravesite location. The COR shall decide whether the existing remains shall be removed so that the grave can be dug at the proper depth to accommodate both interments or if the second remains shall be placed in the right or left half of the gravesite. The COR shall inform the Contractor on which procedure to follow. Arrangement and payment for the disinterment of remains from previous burials is the COR’s responsibility. Excavating the grave to a greater depth to accommodate an additional interment shall be the responsibility of the Contractor, and is considered as a part of the regular grave excavation price. The COR shall be present and shall be responsible for insuring the gravesite is deepened to accommodate the additional interment. The gravesite shall be screened from the public view during the removal and re-interment of any remains.

The Contractor shall be responsible for watering all re-used sod to ensure that it roots properly and that it is maintained in a healthy, vigorous weed free condition. In instances where the sod may not be able to be reused, the gravesite shall be squared, tamped, top soiled and seeded in accordance with the procedures outlined in the Lawn Maintenance Applications portion of this contract. Any excess backfill shall be removed at the direction of the COR from the cemetery premises at the Contractors expense.

(xv) The cemetery allows a maximum of (3) three floral bouquets, arrangements etc at the grave.
