STATEMENT OF WORK

UNITED STATES PARK POLICE

ANTI-SCALE FENCING CONTRACT

1. Background

1.1 The United States Park Police (USPP) is one of the oldest uniformed federal law enforcement agencies in the United States. The USPP is a component of the National Park Service (NPS) which is a bureau of the Department of Interior (DOI). The USPP functions as a full-service law enforcement agency with responsibilities and jurisdiction in NPS areas primarily located in Washington, DC, San Francisco, and New York City and certain other Government lands. The USPP’s mission includes the prevention, detection, and investigation of violations of criminal laws of the United States or of the State and local areas in which the USPP have jurisdiction. In addition to performing the normal crime prevention, investigation, and apprehension functions of an urban police force, the USPP is also responsible for policing many of the famous monuments and unique NPS locations in the United States. As a full-service law enforcement agency, along with typical patrol functions, the USPP has other specialized units that include horse mounted patrol, motorcycle, aviation, marine, canine, SWAT, and criminal investigations.

2. Purpose and Objective

2.1 As part of its roles and functions, the USPP is responsible for providing law enforcement services for NPS’s parks in the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area. The USPP can request the deployment, installation, and removal of anti-scale fencing for outside perimeter security, crowd control, and/or to protect NPS property, monuments, and/or statues from irreparable damage during rallies, demonstrations, or protests. Examples of NPS property where anti-scale fencing may need to be deployed by the USPP include but are not limited to: Dupont Circle, Columbus Circle, Navy Memorial, Farragut Square, Freedom Plaza, Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, and the Washington Monument.

2.2 Due to the dynamic nature of determining the appropriate law enforcement readiness for any particular rally, demonstration, or protest, the USPP may only decide that anti-scale fencing is an appropriate and reasonable preparation for NPS property a few days before the actual event. The USPP will do its best to provide as much lead time as possible for the contractor to prepare for the deployment of the anti-scale fencing. The USPP’s goal is to provide at least 5 to 7 days of advanced notice that anti-scale fencing will be required at a particular NPS location.

2.3 For each deployment of anti-scale fencing at a particular NPS location, the USPP will provide a date and time when the installation of the anti-scale fencing must be completed. The USPP will also provide a date and time when the contractor can begin the breakdown on the anti-scale fencing. The anti-scale fencing schedule could be extended based on whether the rally supporters and/or demonstrators remain compliant. In conjunction with the Contracting Officer, the USPP Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) is the only individual authorized to inform the contractor to extend the amount of time the anti-scale fencing is deployed.

2.4 The USPP will provide a map of the NPS location to be protected along with a description of the anti-scale fencing requirement, where the anti-scale fencing should be placed, any requirement for personnel and/or vehicular gate(s), and an estimated amount of linear feet of the anti-scale fencing.

2.5 The contractor shall participate in a walk-through at the NPS location requiring the anti-scale fencing to ensure they have a thorough understanding of the overall requirement. The COR and designated USPP officers from their Icon Protection Unit and/or Special Events Unit shall participate in this walk-through with the contractor.

3. Overall Requirements and Specifications for Anti-Scale Fencing

3.1 Anti-scale fencing shall be fabricated of 100% steel and a uniform color (i.e. galvanized or black). It must be constructed with at least 1.5-inch square metal tubing with a 1/8-inch steel mesh (to mitigate/disperse thrown liquids) and connected by at least 2-inch metal posts.

3.2 Dependent on the event, the USPP may require anti-scale fencing that is either 8 feet in height and 4 feet wide, or 12 feet in height and 4 feet wide. The USPP will inform the contractor of the preferred size of the anti-scale fencing in their specific request.

3.3 Construction strength and configuration shall be at such a level as to prevent the anti-scale fencing from being pulled down (anti-push), taken apart, set on fire, or easily climbed on.

The anti-scale fencing must be free standing. It cannot be fastened, anchored or staked to the ground in any manner. The base should be the minimum size needed to provide stability as often the anti-scale fencing is installed on sidewalks. The anti-scale fencing must be able to be set up on uneven surfaces and on various grading.

3.4 Anti-scale fencing shall be interlocked by clamping sections together and shall be installed through the use of an approved method (e.g. angle braces for additional support) as not to disturb the grounds/structures. Anti-scale fencing must interlock with access panels and cross bracing.

The contractor shall be responsible for all necessary clamps and bracing as to provide a safe and secure system.

3.5 Dependent on the event, the USPP may require the anti-scale fencing to be anchored by concrete jersey barricades. The USPP will inform the contractor if concrete jersey barricades to anchor the anti-scale fencing is required in their specific request.

3.6 The anti-scale fencing shall be configured in such a way that a personnel gate(s) or vehicular gate(s) can be included in intervals around the perimeter to allow for personnel ingress/egress when required, and/or vehicular ingress/egress when required. The USPP will inform the contractor if personnel gate(s) and/or vehicular gate(s) are required and the desired location(s) of these gate(s) in the perimeter of the anti-scale fencing.

3.7 Anti-scale fencing must be “C” clamped at the top, bottom, and the base plate to prevent protesters prying the fence loose with pipes, bars or tools.

3.8 Anti-pass-through panels must be attached to each panel to prevent pipes from being wedged between gates to pry them apart.

3.9 The contractor shall provide protection in the form of neoprene matting or plywood to protect any stone surface (i.e. granite or marble) where anti-scale fencing is planned/installed.

3.10 Delivery and removal of the anti-scale fencing, and concrete jersey barricades, if requested, is the contractor’s responsibility. The contractor shall coordinate the delivery with the COR or the designated USPP POC prior to the delivery. The contractor is responsible for off-loading and on-loading equipment and materials.
