Scope of Work – National Museum of the United States Army (NMUSA) Audio Tour Contract.

The contractor shall provide ongoing audio tour support to the National Museum of the United States Army (known after as “the museum” or NMUSA). This will include maintenance support for current hardware, the ability to buy additional hardware, the ability to produce additional audio tour content, and the ability to translate the audio tour into additional languages: French, Spanish, and Mandarin.

C.1. General Requirements

C. 1.1. Requiring Activity The National Museum of the United States Army has a requirement for audio tour services in support its one-of-a-kind mission.

C.1.1.1. This contract will be administered by the Army Contracting Command-Detroit Arsenal (DTA). The National Army Museum is a publicly accessible museum that expects to receive between 500,000 and 750,000 visitors a year and tells the history of the United States Army. The Museum is the capstone of the Army Museum Enterprise (AME), a network of museums, training support facilities, museum support facilities and heritage displays operated by the Army around the world. The NMUSA includes a Headquarters and Operations Division, Facilities and Security Division, a Programs & Education Division, an Exhibits Division, a Public Affairs Division, an Information Technology Division and a Visitor Services Division, under which this contract will operate. The NMUSA is operated in partnership with the Army Historical Foundation (AHF), a 501(C)3 non-profit partner whose mission is to raise funds to help operate the National Army Museum.

C.1.1.2. The NMUSA is assigned to the U.S. Army Center of Military History (CMH) which is aligned under the Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC). CMH is the Army’s primary cultural heritage organization, responsible for preserving the institutional history of the Army, educating the Army and the public on the Army’s history and inspiring Soldiers and Civilians to service.

C.1.2. Description of Services The contractor shall provide all personnel, management, hardware, and services necessary to perform the functions of this scope except those which are made available by the Government. The contractor shall assume total responsibility for all requirements herein on the commencement date of the performance period.

C. 1.2.1. Quality Assurance The Government shall evaluate the contractor’s performance under this contract in accordance with (IAW)the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan. This plan is primarily focused on what the Government must do to ensure that the contractor has performed IAW the performance standards. It defines how the performance standards will be applied, the frequency of surveillance, and the minimum acceptable defect rate(s).

C.1.2.2. Functional Areas The work to be performed by the contractor is described in detail in section C.2.

C.1.3. General Requirements The contractor shall fully comply with the most recent and current federal, state, and local laws and regulations, directives and instructions, and other documents set forth in the scope of work.

C.1.3.1. Area of Support The major portion of work shall be performed by the contractor at their sites; some work to include tour testing and validation will be performed at the Museum.

C.1.4. Personnel

C.1.4.1. General The contractor shall furnish fully trained personnel, sufficient in number and qualifications to accomplish all work.

Contract personnel shall be able to speak, read, write, and understand the English language including unique technical terminology required for the performance of these duties and functions. For audio content produced in languages other than English, i.e., French, Spanish, and Mandarin, the contractor shall provide personnel that not only speak the relevant languages with a native fluency but have an understanding of the specific technical vocabulary relevant to the Museum’s subject matter and how to successfully translate it. The contractor shall ensure that all contract personnel shall obtain and maintain all certifications and licenses necessary or appropriate to perform all work contained in this scope and as specified in the Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs). The contractor shall maintain the training skills and qualifications of all personnel throughout the period of performance.

C.1.4.2.

The contractor shall obey all regulations and the orders of competent authorities including, and without limitations, orders and regulations pertaining to physical and national security and the good order and discipline of the Museum.

The contractor is responsible for the conduct of its personnel and shall take prompt, reasonable, and appropriate disciplinary action against personnel for misconduct, malfeasance, misfeasance, or nonfeasance. The removal from, or barring of, a contract employee from a site shall not relieve the contractor of its obligation to perform all work contained in this scope. Contract personnel will be denied access to, removed, and barred from areas/sites when their presence is determined by competent authority to be detrimental to security, to the health, welfare, or well-being of persons, to the good order and discipline or to the accomplishment of work. The Government expressly reserves the right to remove and bar a contractor whose activity, on or off site, endangers persons or property, or whose presence on the installation presents an unacceptable risk to safety or security.

The contractor shall designate a Primary POC for the project. The POC’s contact number(s) shall be furnished to the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) and Chief, Visitor Services Division, NMUSA, and shall not be changed without one week priors notice to the aforementioned parties.

C.1.4.4. The contractor shall perform no inherently Governmental functions. Contractor personnel shall identify themselves as a contractor in meetings, telephone conversations, all written communications and work situations so that their actions cannot be construed as acts of a Government official. The contractor shall take no action that binds the Government to a final decision or results in the exercise of Governmental discretion. When contractor personnel are tasked to attend a Government meeting or conference, they shall identify themselves as employees of a contractor at the beginning of the meeting.

C.1.4.5. Supervision of contractor personnel is the responsibility of the contractor: The contractor’s personnel shall, at all times, be under the supervision of the contractor and not Government employees, whether uniformed or civilian and regardless of rank. There shall be no direct supervision of contractor personnel by the Government. If more than one contractor personnel will be assigned to a specific location, the contractor may designate one person as task or team leader (if needed). The Government will inspect contractor IAW the Contracting Officer Representative Tracking (CORT) tool monthly report and any other clauses included in the contract.

C.1.4.6. U.S. Citizen or Work Permit: All contract personnel performing work under this scope shall be citizens of the United States or have a valid U.S. work permit.

C.1.5. Meetings: Meetings shall generally take place during NMUSA core business hours (9:00 AM to 3:00 PM EST). The contractor shall attend meetings held at the Museum and/or other locations as identified by the Government or participate via electronic means such as video teleconference. Attendance by contractor personnel at meetings held in the local area shall be at no additional cost to the Government. When the contractor is responsible for the presentation/briefing, the charts shall be forwarded to the COR two days prior to the scheduled meeting time.
