LONDON, CT
1. INTRODUCTION
The United States Coast Guard Academy (CGA) is procuring services to conduct testing and inspections of the sprinkler, standpipe systems, fire hydrants, fire pumps and backflow prevention devices located in New London CT. All work shall be performed in accordance with the Performance Work Statement
(PWS) and all current applicable State and Federal Regulations, National Fire
Protection Agency Codes and USCGA Policies. For the purposes of this PWS, NFPA current editions are used. Changes to NFPA codes will require contractor to follow the current edition for the life of this contract.
2. BACKGROUND
2.1 The roots of today's Coast Guard were established in 1790 by Alexander
Hamilton. Hamilton proposed the formation of the Revenue Marine, a seagoing military service that enforced customs and navigation laws, collected tariffs, hailed in-bound ships, made inspections and certified manifests. The first Coast
Guard Academy (then called the Revenue Cutter School of Instruction) was held aboard the two-masted topsail schooner Dobbin. The first class of nine cadets boarded the Dobbin in Baltimore, Maryland in 1876 for a two-year training mission.
The Coast Guard Academy was a shipboard operation until 1890 when the first land-based campus was established in Curtis Bay, Maryland. In 1910, the
Academy moved to the Revolutionary War fort and Army post at Fort Trumbull in New London, Connecticut. The modern Academy was born in 1915 with the merger of the Life Saving Service and Revenue Cutter Service. In 1932, the citizens of New London donated the present site to the Academy.
Today the Academy is committed to strengthening the nation's future by educating, training, and developing leaders of character who are ethically, intellectually, professionally, and physically prepared to serve their country and humanity, and who are strong in their resolve to build on the long military and maritime heritage and proud accomplishments of the United States Coast Guard.
The specifications contained herein are intended to describe the scope and nature of the work required of the Coast Guard Academy (CGA).
