    Draft Statement of Work.pdf
    The Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE) outlines the need for contractor support for Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) services at Kennedy Space Center (KSC) during crewed space launch events. The project's objective is to ensure safe and efficient traffic flow, support KSC Security Police, and establish a secure perimeter at three long gate locations: 2L – SR3 Merritt Island, 3L – SR 405, and 4TT – SR 402. The contractor will be responsible for providing personnel, materials, and equipment for the setup and teardown of traffic control measures, including cones, portable toilets, stop signs, and light plants for nighttime launches. An estimated 15-20 launches are anticipated over a five-year period. Deliverables include initial MOT setup, post-launch teardown, and readiness for a second attempt if a launch is scrubbed. Timeliness, accuracy, safety, and responsiveness to NASA updates are key performance criteria. Materials must be on-site and set up five hours prior to the launch window, with prompt teardown after the event.
