Statement of Work (SOW) For Replacing Entry Gate at KEMO

1. Background:

The Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Visitor Center entrance gate is constructed of a stone pillar decorative entry way with a double gate that remains open during operational hours.

The current gate system is operated with a powered motor and keypad. The power supply is inconsistent. The gates require continuous maintenance, and the hinge failure is such that they cannot be reattached. The gate is secured to the stone cladding of the decorative entry pillars with ½ inch steel plate. The connections and the movements from the gates have caused stress cracks and fractures in mortar and stones from the continuous movement of the gate.

2. Objectives:

This contract is to install a motorized gate system with keypad entry and connect gate mechanism to power supply that will open and close according to the hours of the park and operations.

Site visits to this facility is highly recommended prior to proposal submission. Site visits is available Monday to Friday 8AM – 4pm

Invasive Species Protection Maintenance and construction services in National Parks require vendors to bring vehicles, equipment, and tools into parks.
