United States Capitol Police Security Services Bureau Security Coordination Division
Descriptions/Specifications/Statement of Work Vehicle Barrier –Retractable Bollard Maintenance Support Services
1.0 Introduction/Background
The United States Capitol Police (USCP), Security Services Bureau (SSB) is responsible for ensuring the perimeter security of the United States Capitol Complex. SSB provides the following services: supervision and delivery of security surveys of Congressional Offices, identification of potential locations for storage of national security information, the design, installation, and maintenance of physical security systems and technical countermeasures inspections. Units within SSB include the Security Coordination Division (SCD), the Technical Countermeasures Division (TCD) and the Physical Security Division (PSD).
The SCD has implemented an extensive physical security perimeter consisting of operable and static, rated vehicle barriers and retractable bollards to ensure the safety and security of the Capitol Complex and the Legislative process. The operable vehicle barriers consist of one hundred and forty-four (144) permanent, two (2) portable “wedge” style barriers, sixty-two (62) retractable bollards and three (3) standalone gate arms; all of which are either hydraulically or electrically operated. While the USCP operates and maintains two hundred and five (205) operable vehicle barriers, the quantities are subject to increase or decrease based on planned or unplanned mobilization or demobilization of security checkpoints. As these operable vehicle barriers are the most critical component in the USCP’s anti-terrorism/force protection program, SCD has a need to ensure their full operability and unconditional reliability. As such, SCD requires a contract for onsite presence and support of preventative maintenance and emergency repair services for all operable vehicle barriers, under its purview. The quantity of the barriers, retractable bollards and gate arms may increase or decrease during the life of the contract. A complete list of devices with dates of installation, life cycle and service records for the previous twelve (12) months will be provided upon award. Any questions, inquiries, or need for clarification regarding the statement of work (SOW) from any member of the Congressional community, or USCP shall be referred to the COR.
2.0 Summary of the Scope of Work
The Contractor shall provide the expert support services, management, labor, equipment, tools, ancillary equipment, and materials necessary to perform the manufacturer recommended and industry best practice preventative maintenance (PM) and repair services to ensure the complete operability and reliability of the operable vehicle barriers, controllers, gate arms, integrated alarms and ancillary equipment used to protect the U.S. Capitol Complex and its support facilities. This scope of work shall address the services required for the current 205 operable vehicle barriers manufactured by Nasatka Security, Delta Scientific Corporation, and Magnetic Auto Control Group.

Document Number: SSBR202500001 Page 10 of 45
The Contractor shall develop, and submit for approval, a work plan that details the guidelines for maintenance and repair activities.
This work plan shall include detailed instructions on how PM checks and inspections will be performed and/or tested, how repairs will be affected, troubleshooting guidelines and procedures, maintenance manuals used, etc.
The Contractor must provide an Inclement Weather Work Plan and maintenance check list which identifies the services that will be performed if the scheduled services cannot be completed due to conditions such as lightening, thunder, blizzard, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc. if the Contractor is prohibited from performing scheduled PM services.
In an effort to ensure the complete reliability and operability of the USCP vehicle barrier systems, the Contractor is responsible for the services and equipment required to repair vehicle barriers or to replace equipment to prevent future failure.
All repairs of vehicle barriers that are not cause for imminent failure or deemed emergency repairs by the USCP shall be accomplished within four (4) hours unless an alternate time frame is approved by the USCP. This shall include the repair of all items identified during the routine PM process.
The Contractor may be required to perform barrier operation training and other projects or services related to those covered by this scope of work at any time during the contract period. Any such work, if required, will be requested in a separate scope of work, and will be authorized by a contract modification. Alternatively, other projects and services requested by the USCP may, if by mutual agreement, be performed in lieu of existing requirements or services or as an ad- hoc project for downtime and/or as part of the Contractor’s inclement weather plan.
The Contractor must provide support operations for vehicle barrier repairs during Special Security Events. These events shall include, at a minimum, any National Special Security Event (NSSE), the annual State of the Union Address and the Presidential Inauguration.
Other events may be deemed Special Security Events by the USCP, and services will be required of the Contractor. These events may occur on short notice; however, the USCP will provide advance notice when possible. During Special Security Events the Contractor must provide the resources necessary to support the immediate repair or securing of failed barriers. This includes labor resources, equipment, and repair tools. During Special Security Events, the Contractor is required to conform to all security requirements and procedures in place for the event, which may be beyond those that are typically required by this contract.
The vehicle barrier system is expected to be operational at all times, save scheduled repairs and projects, as such the Contractor shall perform all of the emergency repairs necessary to assure operational availability of the systems at all times.
3.3 Emergency Repairs
