SCOPE OF WORK

MUSEUM SECURITY SURVEY

SALINAS PUEBLO MISSIONS NATIONAL MONUMENT (SAPU)

Part A – General Information

Purpose of Work

The work consists of conducting one museum security survey at four National Park Service (NPS) facilities located at Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument (SAPU) located in New Mexico.

There are two purposes for the survey. The first is to reveal and identify weaknesses in existing protection systems, equipment, procedures, policies, and operations that could result in the loss of such museum resources as collections (artifacts, specimens, and archives), collection records and documentation, and exhibits, as well as the museum structures themselves. The second purpose is to identify alternatives to correct any weaknesses or deficiencies that may be found. The goal of performing the surveys and of implementing corrective actions is protecting museum property against all forms of losses including those due to crime, natural disasters, or other threats.

Description of Sites to be Surveyed

Surveys include complete on-site reviews of facilities housing museum collections at Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument (SAPU), current planning, staffing, operations, procedures, hardware, and facilities or structures relevant to museum collection management. Facilities will be identified by their official name and Facility Management Software System (FMSS) building identification number.

SAPU is made up of four discontiguous locations. Headquarters is located in Mountainair, New Mexico, about 67 miles southeast of Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Abo unit and its Visitor’s Center is located 10.5 miles to the east of Mountainair; the Quarai Unit and its Visitor’s Center is located 8.8 miles to the north of Mountainair; and the Gran Quivira Unit and Visitor’s Center is located 26 miles to the south of Mountainair.

All four facilities have on-site exhibiting park museum collections.

1. The nearly 6,508 square foot Headquarters/Visitor Center [FMSS 73827] building is a GSA lease. It was built in 1950, however, it was heavily remodeled to function as a park facility after the park took occupancy of the building in 2013. Currently, the building does have a fire alarm system and a security system, but no fire suppression system. The Headquarters building houses museum exhibit space in the front where visitors interface, the Western National Parks Association (WNPA) bookstore, office space for park staff and WNPA, and a museum storage room. The storage room houses geological, archeological, ethnographic, and archival collections, as well as project archives, archeological site files, maps, and blueprints in file cabinets.

2. Abo Visitor’s Center [FMSS 71851] building is 860 square feet large and built in an adobe style in the mid-1950s and was acquired by the NPS in 1988. The building was located elsewhere but relocated to the park. In 2005, extensive remodeling was done to the building. It houses one large diorama from the 1930s that is part of the museum collections and is displayed, as well as a Western National Parks Association (WNPA) bookstore and an employee office space. Currently, the building does have a fire alarm system, but no fire suppression system.

3. The 843 square foot Quarai Visitor’s Center Complex [FMSS 72195] is an Eligible historic building for the National Register of Historic Places. The stucco-ed stylized building was built by Ted C. Luna, a notable architect, in 1969 and embodies two architectural styles: Spanish Pueblo Revival and Mid- Century Modern. Currently, the building does have a fire alarm system, but no fire suppression system. The Museum side of the building houses archaeological and ethnographic collections on exhibit for the public. Separated by an outdoor breezeway, the side of the building that houses the Visitor’s Center also houses one large diorama from 1914 that is part of the museum collections that is displayed, as well as a Western National Parks Association (WNPA) bookstore.

4. The 2,713 square foot Gran Quivira Visitor’s Center [FMSS 71997] building was built in 1997 and is also split into two buildings separated by an outside breezeway. The bathroom building is to the south, while the Visitor’s Center building houses many museum collections on display for the public. It also houses a Western National Parks Association (WNPA) bookstore and a room for staff to use as an office space. Currently, the building has a fire alarm system and is the only VC building with a fire suppression system, however, there have been some problems in the recent past with the suppression system.

SAPU is served by the Torrance County Sherriff Department located in Estancia, New Mexico. The expected response time is variable depending on staffing levels and which site they are patrolling at the time of an incident, typically, from 30 minutes to an hour. A SAPU Security Survey was attempted in 2019, but none was ever formally completed. A security assessment was completed for the headquarters building in 2020. This will be made available for the contractor.

The contractor will coordinate with the park contact, the COR, and the Museum Services Program Curator to negotiate inspection dates and times to accomplish the inspections. Due to proximity of park buildings to each other the site visits will be combined to reduce overall travel budget.

Scope of Work

The Contractor will survey the facilities described above and identify security weaknesses and deficiencies and make specific recommendations for their correction in a formal report for the park.

In carrying out this work, the Contractor will perform at a minimum the following tasks:

1. Prior to identifying themselves to the staff, and as an ordinary visitor to the site, tour public spaces and observe conditions and activities affecting protection of the collections and structures. Visitor admission is free.

2. Meet with management and staff including the superintendent, Integrated Resources Program Manager, Chief of Facilities, and the Museum Services Program Curator. Other staff may be interviewed as deemed appropriate by park management or as necessary by the Contractor and as may be arranged by the local staff.

3. Evaluate the physical security of the buildings in both public and non-public areas. Note problems with perimeters, including doors, windows, air intakes, roof hatches, and other penetrations. Evaluate perimeter lighting, locks, hardware, hinges, and other security equipment and devices. Evaluate the ease with which someone could penetrate the perimeter or interior secured areas with or without being detected. Observe and evaluate perimeter security during the daytime and after dark. Contractor will be accompanied by a park representative during after dark inspections. Contractor should be aware that SAPU has been designated an International Dark Sky Park and any suggestions for upgrades must take into consideration this designation and its requirements. The evaluation will result in specific recommendations within the final reports covering areas of needed security improvement.

4. Examine and evaluate the electronic alarm systems, including controls, access management, detectors, exhibit case sensors, panic devices, alarm and signaling devices, remote monitoring equipment, remote alarm transmission media (including line supervision), and other pertinent components. Review after-hours access policies at all locations. Test the proper functioning of the system and evaluate their operation, monitoring, maintenance, coordination, and response time with responding agencies. If applicable, evaluate central station services (monitoring, response, premises security, and maintenance support.) Recommendations will be included in the Contractor's final report. Every effort will be made to recommend systems that can be used "as is" or with slight modifications if upgrades or expansions are warranted in the future. Recommendations must be appropriate for the park’s unique circumstances, e.g., availability of equipment repair and maintenance.

5. Evaluate security staffing for adequacy. Review staffing levels, standard operating procedures, training, and delegations of responsibility for all personnel and staff directly responsible for museum security.

Evaluate protection of all areas by personnel. Review the scheduling and conduct of security patrols.

Evaluate adequacy of protection provided by interpreters during interpretive tours or programs. Evaluate the interpretive operations plan with respect to how well it incorporates security concerns into the responsibilities of interpreters.

6. Evaluate policies for access used at the sites during regular office hours and after-hours, particularly in office and work areas, in exhibit areas, and collection storage areas, as well as staff compliance with them, paying attention to ensure researchers and visitors do not have unaccompanied access to spaces housing collections.

7. Evaluate security policies and procedures, including standard operating procedures, delegations of authority, and memoranda of understanding with local police and emergency areas.

8. Evaluate key control, key cards, and retrieval related to storage rooms and exhibit cases being issued only to those employees who have at least a daily recurring need for direct, unaccompanied access to collections. Evaluate the adequacy of locking systems, key tracking and documentation, and key/card security. Identify/evaluate the presence of fire department key boxes (i.e., KNOX/Supra) and the local fire department's key control procedures to determine if they are sufficient to maintain museum security and prevent theft or accidental loss of fire department keys.

9. Evaluate NPS security requirements related to museum collections such as use of Visitor logbooks, written opening and closing procedures, and a written access policy for storage and exhibit areas.

10. Evaluate internal and personnel security programs, particularly procedures to account for objects taken outside of collection storage and exhibit areas, such as in offices, workrooms or in transit.

11. Evaluate security for objects on exhibit and in storage, including case design, security hardware, detection systems, locks, keying, accountability procedures, and other internal control procedures and systems.

Evaluate the ease with which objects may be stolen from exhibits and furnished rooms without immediate detection of the act. Evaluate the ease with which objects on exhibit and in furnished rooms may be vandalized, with or without immediate detection, taking into consideration any plans or proposals for new exhibits.

12. Evaluate security training or security awareness programs provided at sites for security and non-security personnel.

13. Evaluate existing Museum Collection Emergency Operations Plan (MCEOP) and make recommendations for improvement.

14. Evaluate park Emergency Action Plan (EAP) for suitability to existing programs, and whether it is included in the MCEOP.

15. Obtain crime demographics for burglaries, vandalism, and break ins and incorporate into park report.

16. Evaluate post emergency protocols, i.e., emergency relocation of collections, reviewing whether agreements are in place with supporting non-NPS entities.

17. Consider and be sensitive to the historical nature of the structures in developing recommendations for improvements to or replacements of systems and hardware. As appropriate, make alternative recommendations for equipment and/or installation techniques to allow for maximum preservation of historic fabric.

18. Evaluate the timeliness, effectiveness, and accuracy of how the sites report criminal or other incidents involving collections.

19. Observe and comment on other security problems that may be noted during the survey.

20. Recommend system improvements as appropriate. Specify options and advantages of one option over another. Evaluate the relationship between fire and intrusion systems at the monitoring station and each Park's ability to determine and archive alarm events, zones of activation, and device status.

Recommendations should address each park's plans to possibly relocate components of the museum collection into another building in the future.

21. Review existing emergency/disaster, evacuation, and other related security plans. Also review the park’s Emergency Operations Plan, and whether have they included a Museum Collection component as outlined in the Museum Handbook, Part 1, Chapter 10: Emergency Planning. If language specific to museum objects is not currently included in these plans, recommend how the plans can be updated to be within NPS compliance.

22. Complete and utilize the Federal Risk Management Process (FRMP) Tool, National Park Service Version to determine the appropriate Federal Security Level (FSL) for each site. The primary objective of FRMP Tool is to define what levels of protection are necessary for a given facility security level compared to what levels of protection exist. Appendix A: Design Basis Threat Report (FOUO), determines if the baseline level of protection determined is commensurate with the Design Basis Threat minimum level of protection. If the Design Basis Threat level of protection is lower or higher than the assessed threat, identify the appropriate countermeasures that require increase or decrease for each facility. (The Interagency Security Committee (ISC) July 2017 11th Edition – The Risk Management Process for Federal Facilities, Appendix A will be provided to the successful contractor after award). The significance of museum collections to the park, region, and nation must be considered while compiling the FSL for each facility.

NOTE: While some system testing may be done, full testing of the security systems protecting museum collections is not required as part of these surveys. The contractor examines available information and files to determine if the required testing has been taking place at each location to see if maintenance and/or test results have been followed up on by the parks (if needed), and to see if the monitoring companies are providing the services they are being paid for. The contractor makes recommendations based upon the observations in the field, with full testing or subsequent follow-up maintenance activities included during another phase as recommended by the contractor completing the survey.
