STATEMENT OF WORK: INTRODUCTION In October of 2011, to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty, Earth Cam, an internet based construction monitoring service based in New Jersey, donated and installed camera equipment on the Statue's torch for real time recording and transmission via the internet of images of New York Harbor, Ellis Island, the grounds of Liberty Island, and the torch itself. Earth Cam also designed the web pages for display of what is now known as the Torch Cam (see below). However, the company does not have the capability to broadcast this material over the internet. That must be done by, an internet service provider, which is the purpose of this requisition. The Torch Cam was donated through the Statue of Liberty - Ellis Island Foundation. Since October 28th, when the Torch Cam went "live," four months of internet service were also donated, which will be up at the end of February, 2012. Torch Cam has been extremely popular with the public and has become a useful tool in promoting the park and its programs, as well as the fundraising activities of our partners. It is an integral component of our New- and Social-Media program, and an efficient mean of connecting with underserved audiences. A similar effort is in place at the Flight 93 Memorial in Pennsylvania, and has been proposed for the Washington Monument. Activities such as this are supportive of the Director's Call to Action.
