PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Irrigation Central Controller Upgrades Arlington National Cemetery

1. GENERAL INFORMATION:

1.1 Description of Service: This requirement is a non-personal services contract in which the contractor shall provide all personnel, materials, equipment, supervision, and maintenance necessary to upgrade the existing irrigation system controllers to provide cemetery-wide, remote operation capability at Arlington National Cemetery (ANC) located in Arlington, Virginia. The

Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such service providers shall be accountable solely to the

Contractor who, in turn, is responsible to the Government.

1.2 Background: ANC is our nation’s most sacred shrine and the final resting place for our most revered military and political leaders. ANC receives four to six million visitors per year -including visits from the President of the United States, other heads of state, family members of the deceased, and millions of tourists from around the world. Approximately 6,000 funerals are conducted yearly – in addition to over 2,000 other ceremonies such as commemorations, wreath ceremonies, and head-of-state visits. These ceremonies and funerals often receive the intense focus of the press and other media. Due to the special significance and public attention that the cemetery receives, strict adherence to these specifications is essential. Failure to meet specifications will have a negative impact on our nation’s image.

1.3 Objective: The basic service objective is to upgrade 12 existing irrigation controllers to

Hunter ACC2 controllers with communication modules, and to install communication modules on 2 current ACC2 controllers to provide central control capability via the Hunter

Centralus operating system. The contractor shall test all systems for functionality and warranty all work for a period of 1 year following final acceptance. The contractor shall ensure complete functionality, to include electrical and communications for all systems. A detailed and 100% accurate map of all irrigation zones shall be provided at the end of the contract period.

1.4 Scope Of Work: The Contractor shall provide all labor, equipment, materials, and supervision of its employees to replace all indicated controllers with new Hunter ACC2 irrigation controllers to match the current wiring type for each system (conventional or 2-wire).

Controllers shall be installed in the same location and footprint of the existing controllers. The appropriate communications modules and antennae for each controller shall be installed in a professional and weatherproof manner, to allow communication with each system via the

Hunter Centralus operating system. The modification of existing irrigation systems is for the following sites within ANC; replace controller at Kennedy Gravesites (section 45), Taft

Gravesite (section 30), Tomb of the Unknown Soldier/Amphitheater, Coast Guard Memorial, Facility Maintenance Complex, three (3) systems at Columbaria 1-9, Millennium Area

Columbaria 10-13, Administration Building, 110 Gate, and Receiving Vault (section13). Install cellular communication modules for two (2) existing Hunter ACC2 controllers at Memorial

Avenue. (See Technical Exhibit 1: Controller Map).

The contractor shall test and troubleshoot all electrical field components, including but not limited to valves, wire connections, and communications, for proper function. The plans and specifications are intended to include everything obviously requisite and necessary for the proper installation of the work whether each necessary item is mentioned herein or not. Include all labor, overhead, materials, licensing and fees, and profit for any and all tasks associated with the installation of this project. As-programmed zone maps will be provided at the end of the project.

(for example, wounded trees or damaged turf - as well as headstones - shall be repaired or replaced). The Contractor shall take corrective action in a reasonable amount of time to repair damages or replace destroyed property. If the Contractor fails to take the required corrective action, the Government retains the right to exercise other rights or remedies available to the

Contracting Officer.

11.3.2 Damage To Privately Owned Property: The Contractor shall be held liable for damage or destruction of privately owned property (e.g. privately owned vehicles), as defined in this PWS, caused by the Contractor, Contractor personnel or representatives of the Contractor in the performance of services in this contract. The Contractor shall take corrective action in a reasonable amount of time to repair damages or replace destroyed property.

11.3.3 Damage Reports: The Contractor shall submit a damage report to the Contracting Officer and designated representative within two (2) workdays of damage or destruction to Government property or privately-owned property caused by the Contractor, Contractor personnel or representatives of the Contractor. The damage report shall detail the facts and the extent of damages or destruction and the corrective action taken by the Contractor to repair damages or replace destroyed property.

11.4 Contractor Conduct and Recognition of Ceremonies:

11.4.1 The Contractor is responsible for ensuring that work does not cause any funeral, ceremony, procession, or visitation to be delayed, altered, or otherwise impacted in such a way that the dignity or security of the event is compromised. The Contractor is responsible for staying abreast of all such upcoming events. A list of scheduled ceremonies will be provided, and a list of scheduled funerals will be provided on a daily basis. The Contractor shall communicate not less than daily with the COR, to ask questions and ensure he or she understands the off-limit areas which will vary depending upon the event. (As a rule-of-thumb, any work, especially with power equipment, within 1000 feet of a funeral or ceremony is not acceptable). The Contractor can thus assign tasks accordingly throughout the rest of the Cemetery so that productive use of labor and equipment is assured, and down-time is avoided. If the Contractor fails to re-direct employees away from an event in a timely fashion, the COR may then do so. The Contractor shall also visit with the COR on other issues of common Cemetery etiquette, such as conduct with next-of-kin and when processions pass by.

11.4.2 The Contractor shall ensure all contract employees behave with appropriate decorum, courtesy, and respect while within the Cemetery or at its perimeter or entrances. Shouting, cursing, angry outbursts, sleeping, intoxication, and violence or criminal acts of any kind will not be tolerated and is cause for immediate removal from the Cemetery and/or prosecution.

11.5 Smoking: The Contractor shall comply with AR 600-63, Army Health Promotion, which establishes uniform policies governing the use of tobacco products on Government real property.

11.6 Conservation of Utilities: The Contractor shall instruct employees in utilities conservation practices. The Contractor shall be responsible for operating under conditions that preclude the waste of utilities, which include turning off the water faucets or valves.
