Summary

This is a Statement of Work (SOW) for the "Freedom 250 Decorations" project at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, located at the Howard T. Markey National Courts Building (717 Madison Place, NW, Washington, DC 20439). The project involves fabricating, installing, removing, and packing for storage patriotic decorations across multiple buildings in the National Courts Building Complex for the America 250th Anniversary celebration. The work is a firm-fixed-price contract covering contract management, materials fabrication, construction installation and dismantling services (including materials, labor, and supervision), and packing for storage. Installation is scheduled to begin around Memorial Day 2026 (May 25) and remain in place through Labor Day (September 7, 2026). The contractor must coordinate all work and obtain approvals from the Court's Contracting Office and Contracting Officer's Representative/Project Manager, maintaining positive relationships with tenants and public authorities while ensuring zero security violations and zero disruption to court operations.

The project includes detailed material specifications requiring high-grade polyester or nylon fabrics resistant to UV rays, rain, and wind with reinforced grommets, double-hemmed edges, weighted swags, and minimal invasive anchoring using ties and clips rather than permanent affixation. The contractor must submit comprehensive fabrication drawings, material samples, color samples, and attachment methodologies for court approval prior to fabrication. Historic preservation standards apply to all work, requiring use of reversible attachment methods that are least invasive. The scope encompasses design coordination with the court providing vector graphics and template dimensions, with the fabricator responsible for providing detailed connection locations and installation/removal procedures. All items must be removed, packed into durable stackable bins with top closures that can be moved by hand truck, clearly labeled by building and elements, and stored with all installation devices removed unless otherwise specified.
