STATEMENT OF WORK

Inspect, Repair, Service and Monitor Security and Fire Alarm Systems at SEMO, TUAI, TUIN

May 5, 2023

1. Introduction The Selma to Montgomery National Historic Trail commemorates the 54-mile journey by Civil Rights advocates as they marched from Selma, AL to Montgomery, AL along U.S. Highway 80.

This march led to the passage of the Voting Rights Act on August 6, 1965. In August 1995, the State of Alabama designated U.S. Highway 80 between Selma and Montgomery as a National Scenic Byway to recognize its historical significance.

In January 1996, the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) recommended that this route receive an All- American Road designation from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). In 1996, the U.S. Congress designated this route as a National Historic Trail and identified the NPS as the manager of this Trail. The Trail was established to: Commemorate the events, people, and route of the Selma to Montgomery Voting Rights March of 1965, as a reminder of the right and responsibility of all Americans to participate fully in the election process and the maintenance of vigilance in protecting the right to vote. Identify, preserve, and protect the historic route and resources that inform the world about the Selma to Montgomery Voting Rights March of 1965.

The parks’ mission is to protect, preserve, and interpret the natural, cultural, and historical resources in its care for the benefit and inspiration for present and future generations.
