SECTION C – DESCRIPTION, SPECIFICATIONS, STATEMENT OFWORK

C.1 BACKGROUND. USHMM is an independent establishment of the United States government. USHMM is the national institution for the documentation, study, and interpretation of Holocaust history and serves as this country's memorial to the millions of people murdered during the Holocaust. USHMM's primary mission is to advance and disseminate knowledge about this unprecedented tragedy, preserve the memory of those who suffered, and encourage its visitors to reflect upon the moral and spiritual questions raised by the events of the Holocaust.

USHMM's ability to provide for the security and safety of its staff, visitors, property, and collections is paramount to the successful operation of the Museum. As such, and with an increasing number of visitors and events, USHMM's DPS has an uncompromising need to detect the presence of explosive material(s) and/or devices introduced onto Museum property in delivered and hand carried packages. The EDCT will be required as needed to examine such items delivered by vehicles, couriers, abandoned by visitors and/or other persons on USHMM property, including off-site USHMM locations or adjacent areas.

C.1.1 Site II, The Shapell Center. The Museum's Collections are permanently housed at the David and Fela Shapell Family Collections, Conservation and Research Center. The Shapell Center is a two story, 103,000 square foot facility, located on approximately nine acres in Bowie, Maryland. The facility includes a 108 space exterior vehicle parking area, including 7 handicap spaces, along with a high security entry guard booth. The Shapell Center is a state-of-the-art facility that features highly specialized laboratories and climate-controlled environments where a wide variety of media are treated and preserved. The Shapell Center serves as a hub of activity supporting acquisitions, education, and scholarship to ensure that future generations will continue to honor the memory of Holocaust victims and learn from their history to build a better future. It is estimated the Shapell Center will be operated by approximately 85 full time staff members working on a weekday schedule. The site will also be visited by research and the public on a scheduled weekday basis. Special events will also be held at the facility. These events may include, but are not limited to, conferences, workshops, receptions for up to 400 persons, and visits by prominent and high level officials, including Presidents and heads of foreign governments. These visits may occur with little or no notice to management and may occur on weekends.

USHMM RFP 95476725R1000 3 of 66 [EDCT Services]

C.1.2 Public activities at the Shapell Center will largely be confined to the second floor research and library areas. Researchers will be scheduled and monitored by Museum staff while in these areas. Public activities may also include tours of the facility's laboratory and storage vaults. Tours will be approved, conducted and monitored by Museum staff members. Security services for researcher access and public events will include the verification and accommodation of parking access requests, vehicle inspections, parking directions, crowd control and monitoring during special events, and the inspection of personal belongings upon the departure of researchers in an effort to prevent artifact thefts.

C.1.3 Access to the site by vehicle traffic includes employee and Contractor privately-owned vehicles. Additionally, hired transportation companies may be used by both the Museum and private individuals to transport individuals to and from the site; buses, cabs or car services of varying types can be expected. Access to the loading dock(s) will only be permitted by appointment or by regular delivery service trucks, to include the United States Postal Service and various other delivery services (UPS, FEDEX, etc...)
