Labor costs must be itemized by craft and hourly rate, including Fringe Benefits and Labor Burden. If the costs of Fringe Benefits and Labor Burden are not itemized, it is assumed that that they are included in the hourly rate shown, or contractor is not requesting reimbursement.

Refer to Division 01 Specification, “Construction Schedule”, for time impact analysis requirements. TIA and associated costs must be received with the proposal by the date shown within the Request for Proposal letter.

Contractor’s failure to submit within the specified time frame will be construed as the Contractor waiving the right for additional time and no time extension will be allowed.

Memorandum

To: All Contractors, Subcontractors, Concessionaires

& Partners of the National Park Service

From: Captain Raymond Closs

Liberty District Commander, United States Park Police

Subject: Guidelines for Park Access and Credentialing

The Statue of Liberty National Monument and Ellis Island Immigration Museum are American

Icons of freedom, recognizable around the world. The United States Park Police provide law enforcement and security services at this National Park Service site. Access to this site is restricted and regulated by our “Guidelines for Park Access & Credentialing” plan. This comprehensive plan is designed to enhance security operations at the park. Your cooperation and adherence to these guidelines is required and appreciated.

IN REPLY REFER TO:

Revised 5/13/15

Statue of Liberty N.M. & Ellis Island Guidelines for Park Access & Credentialing

The following rules and procedures shall guide all Contractors, Subcontractors, Concessionaires and Partners of the National Park Service through the process of obtaining a Park ID for authorized access to the Park.

Park Identification Cards

A completed U.S. Park Police Identification Card Application & Background Check Request Form

(attached) must be submitted to the U.S. Park Police (USPP) at least (2) weeks in advance of the employment or work start date. All ID applications shall be submitted to Ms. Kathryn Tufaro, U.S.

Park Police Administrative Secretary. The Administrative Secretary‟s desk is located inside the

Ellis Island Police Office (EPO); see attached map. Direct contact: Kathryn_Tufaro@nps.gov

Phone: 646-356-2121.

All criminal history must be included on the form. Although the main concern of the USPP is serious criminal activity, and/or appearance on terrorist watch lists, omission of minor criminal incidents is a credibility issue which will delay approval and may be cause for denial. Intentionally providing false information in any way will result in denial of the application.

Once the application is approved you will be required to arrange an appointment with Kathy to have your photograph taken and ID card issued. You must come in person to EPO for this appointment.

Digital photographs will not be accepted via email.

ID cards will be valid for the anticipated term of the project or for a (1) year period for concessioners and long term contractors.

A replacement ID card will not be issued unless the expired or damaged card is returned. If the ID card is lost or stolen a report must be immediately filed with the U.S Park Police. The USPP case number must be provided to the U.S. Park Police Administrative Secretary prior to issuance of the replacement card.

Short-term contractors & sub-contractors (requiring access for up to 7 calendar days) do not require a

Park ID, but will need to be placed on a list to obtain a day-pass at the service entrance. This can be accomplished by requesting access for non-NPS credentialed contractors or visitors through your

NPS Project Manager or designated NPS point of contact. These requests will be routed to Ms.

Jennifer Getter, Confidential Assistant to the Superintendent, who will have the requests approved and added to the access list. Direct contact: Jennifer_Getter@nps.gov Phone: 646-356-2102.

The day-pass program is designed to allow access to visitors and/or contractors who will be on site for a very brief period. If we identify that you are attempting to utilize the day-pass program for a period beyond (7) calendar days you will be removed from the list and prohibited from entering the park.

mailto:Kathryn_Tufaro@nps.gov mailto:Jennifer_Getter@nps.gov

Be prepared to present your Park ID/day-pass to a USPP Officer or National Park Service (NPS) employee if you are in an area closed to the general public. Generally, the ID/day pass should be worn on an outer garment and kept readily visible at all times. You will also be required to present a

Federal or State issued photo ID at the service entrance during the check-in & screening process.

Violations of this policy will be documented and relayed to your NPS point of contact.
