SECTION C

Statement of Work

1.0 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE

The U.S. American Embassy in Oslo [Embassy] is seeking to augment the existing security system at the Chief of Mission Residence [CMR]. The aim of this project is to increase the effectiveness of physical security and personnel in place along the perimeter of this historic and politically sensitive estate. The Embassy’s Regional Security Office (RSO) would like to install enough pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras to cover any existing blind-spots along the perimeter.

The CMR was constructed in 1912 and purchased by the US government in 1926. The property is on the Secretary of State’s Register of Culturally Significant Properties. Today, it serves as an important center for diplomatic engagements between the United States and Norway. It is critical that all work done at the CMR must maintain or restore the original design and character of this important historical property. Security hardware should to the best of our ability present a low visibility profile.

2.0 General Requirements

2.1 The Contractor shall provide personnel, material, equipment, and supervision to complete the technical requirements in this Statement of Work. The Contractor shall be responsible for hiring labor, equipment vendors and shall follow security and safety directives as explained by the Embassy.

Installation of no fewer than twelve new pan tilt zoom cameras with low-light and/or infrared capabilities, including positioning the poles and mounting the cameras to provide full coverage of the entire 320 meters of perimeter fence. The contractor will provide all materials including the camera systems and mounting equipment. PTZ cameras should be comparable to the Bosch High Speed Positioning System. Cameras must be able to work in nighttime and low light and should provide the ability to identify intruders from beyond 100 meters. All cameras should be able to integrate with the command system.

The contractor will set-up and install a perimeter security command software system and monitoring station on-site. All hardware should be securely housed in the CMR. Two work stations with full control and monitoring ability should be set up in the guard house and carriage house.
