PROJECT DESCRIPTION

This is a Single-Award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract that encompasses all activities associated with the operations, maintenance, and repairs of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial. Attachment 2 provides a list of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial equipment and systems to be maintained under this contract. The inventory is illustrative of the types of equipment and systems to be maintained under this contract. During the life of the contract, individual pieces of equipment or complete systems may be replaced. The Contractor is responsible for maintenance of replacement equipment and systems. As a work of art, the maintenance and repair requirements demand special care because of the construction materials, e.g., Spanish Lime Rock, stainless steel, bronze sculptures, etc. The most visible memorial systems, and consequently those requiring the most intensive management, are sculptures, masonry, and lighting system. The nature of the required services is within the abilities of typical maintenance and repair journeymen electricians, plumbers, and other mechanical tradesmen. Illumination is a key architectural aspect of the memorial and, as such, requires constant surveillance to assure all lighting fixtures are functioning properly. All system disruptions and visual blemishes must be addressed in a timely manner to preserve the overall “Exceptional Appearance” of the memorial as envisioned by its designers and expected by the NPS and the public. In addition, an underground Equipment Control Center (ECC) contains circulation pumps, sump pumps, electrical distribution systems, air-conditioning units, water heaters, water treatment system, control systems and a large water cistern. Maintaining these systems requires a preventive maintenance program, a predictive maintenance program and repair capabilities.

The nature of the work required to maintain memorial cleanliness and orderliness are well within the abilities of the typical laborer. Principle duties are keeping the park free of litter, raking the mulched areas to ensure smoothness and desired thickness, removal of trash and debris, polishing metal surfaces, cleaning stone faces, cleaning pavers. Maintaining an “Exceptional Appearance” condition of the memorial presents the most immediate and continuous contractor objective. The conduct of the contracted workforce must be ever mindful of the significance of the memorial and the sensitivity of visitors and the public while performing the duties within this scope.

In accordance with FAR 22.1002-2, the prevailing wage rates will apply.

This notice does not obligate the government to award a contract, nor does it obligate the government to pay for any quote preparation costs.
