Statement of Work Update 110519 CLINS: 0004, 1004, 2004, 3004, 4004 Interments (Columbarium Cremains)

1. Interment (Columbarium Cremains Inurnment)

a. On the day of the inurnment, the Contractor shall verify with the cemetery daily burial schedule the decedent name(s) and niche location(s). Prepare the columbarium niche(s) by removing the niche covers for the day’s inurnments. Remove the niche cover by removing the four mounting screws and decorative rosettes and placing the cover(s) inside their respective niche. An exception to this rule is with subsequent inurnments where the niche cover will remain in place until time of inurnment.

b. After the interment service, transport the remains to the columbarium and place the remains with dignity into the back of the niche to allow room for placement of a second urn. After the remains are placed in the niche, attach the temporary marker to the niche cover and reset the cover onto its proper niche. Use a template placed directly under the niche cover for support and alignment to ensure the niche cover is level. Do not overtighten the hardware to avoid cracking the niche cover.

c. Once the cover is replaced, verify one more time the decedent name and niche location against the cemetery daily burial schedule and then sign off that the inurnment is complete.

d. The tool kit should contain: a hand screwdriver and rechargeable variable-speed electric screwdriver with two-prong security bits for niche cover removal and replacement, alignment templates, a rubber mallet, extra bits, and extra Government-provided mounting hardware (security screws and rosettes). A small step ladder will be required for working on top row niches.
