JOINT TASK FORCE – NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION
COMMAND POST (CP) TRAILERS
1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and non-personal services necessary to perform the installation, operation, and removal of Seventeen (17) Command Post (CP) Trailers for the 2025 Presidential Inauguration as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS), except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.
1.2 Background: Historically the Joint Task Force – National Capital Region (JTF-NCR) has developed a PWS for the lease of typical commercial construction-type trailers in support of the Presidential Inauguration within the Washington D.C. area to include a five-mile radius from the city. These trailers will be used to support the JTF-NCR and the Presidential Inauguration ceremonial activities, to include communication exercise(s), Inaugural Rehearsal (R-Day), Inaugural Day (I-Day) Parade and ancillary support activities.
1.2.1 Permits: The contractor is not required to obtain permits for the CP Trailers, as all permitting requirements will be performed by the JTF-NCR end-users, with coordinating assistance from the JTF-NCR J4 Logistics & Engineering Division, Joint Engineer Cell. Lease terms for CP Trailers are typically no more than two to three weeks. Permits are typically submitted in December and approvals received within the first two weeks of January or sooner. However, it is recommended that the contractor also coordinates with the National Park Service (NPS) and other City Agencies to request all necessary permits to properly install the generators and grounding electrodes, if required.
1.2.2 Magnitude: The Presidential Inauguration is a national media event and will require the utmost attention to detail, professionalism and discretion.
1.3 Scope: The contractor shall provide 17 trailers wheeled and shored (12 EA=8’x20’, 3 EA=8’x28’, 2 EA=10’x40’) w/ power generators (if local power is not available) and heating, furniture, fixtures, and equipment to be used as Command Posts for Inaugural events. The contractor shall provide the number of trailers specified at the locations, dates and times listed below for the scheduled operations, training/exercises, rehearsals and Inaugural events. The contractor shall coordinate exact delivery schedule, generator refueling requirements and location/orientation of the trailers with JTF-NCR J4-Joint Engineer Cell and Joint Task Force Teams & Support Battalion personnel at a post award meeting. Although not anticipated, the Government may request additional CP Trailers, within the general Inaugural operation area and within the National Capital Region; however, this would be coordinated through the designated Contracting Officer and executed via a contract modification.
1.4 Period of Performance: The Period of Performance shall commence immediately upon award and end upon removal of the last CP Trailer, which is required by 8:00pm on 22 January 2025. Hours of operation and place of performance is provided in paragraph 1.6.4 below.
1.5 Local, State, and Federal Laws or Regulations: Contractor shall comply with any local, state or federal environmental, safety or license laws or regulations and requirements as required for any commercial operator and suppliers of trailers and ancillary equipment. Contractor and employees shall comport themselves with standard commercial practices for a commercial supplier of trailers and transportation/installation of trailers.
