1.4 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

1.4.1 BACKGROUND

Arlington National Cemetery is our nation's most sacred shrine and the final resting place for our most revered military and civilian leaders.

The Cemetery receives millions of visitors each 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.

SECTION 01 11 00 Page 1

Six thousand or more 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. Because of Arlington's special significance and the attention it receives, strict adherence to these specifications is essential. Failure to meet specifications will have a negative impact on our nation's image and will not be tolerated. The successful Contractor forms a true partnership with the federal government to ensure those who served our nation are properly honored.

This project will help ANC to continue to meet the mission of laying to rest those who have served our nation with dignity and honor, treating their families with respect and compassion, and connecting guests to the rich tapestry of the cemetery's living history, while maintaining these hallowed grounds befitting the sacrifice of all those who rest here in quiet repose.
