About this file
This is a Dignity Clause document establishing mandatory requirements for contractor personnel performing work at Fort Stevens National Cemetery in Hammond, Oregon. The clause mandates that all contractor actions be executed with special care, reverence, dignity, and respect, recognizing the cemetery as a final resting place for service members, veterans, and their families. Contractors are strictly prohibited from walking, standing, leaning, sitting, jumping on, or driving over headstones or markers, and cannot place or lean tools, equipment, or other items on these structures. Contractors must exercise care to avoid scratching or damaging markers and bear full responsibility for replacing any damaged headstones, markers, or restored turf resulting from their work activities.
The clause requires contractors to immediately notify the Contracting Officer Representative (COR), Director/Assistant Director, or Contracting Officer if any activity exposes or damages human remains, containers for remains such as caskets or urns, or outer burial containers. Contractors must discuss this guidance with all employees and subcontractors, requiring each individual to sign a statement of compliance before work commences. All signed compliance statements must be delivered to the COR prior to the start of work. The document directs any questions regarding proper procedures to the COR, Director/Assistant Director, or Contracting Officer for clarification or resolution.
