The Smithsonian Hirshhorn Museum Sculpture Garden revitalization is a $50M federal contract in Washington, DC, for a high-visibility cultural site with outdoor public-access zones that must remain secure during multi-phase construction. The garden setting and adjacent National Mall foot traffic create exposure points for vandalism, equipment theft, and public-safety liability during demolition and landscape reconstruction. Mobile surveillance towers address the intermittent work-zone perimeter and after-hours equipment laydown without permanent infrastructure that would conflict with the site's historic character. The award appears in USAspending records but carries no posted date or period-of-performance start, which suggests the contract is awarded but mobilization timing is not yet public. Federal cultural institution projects of this scale typically stage mobilization 90-120 days post-award and run 18-24 months with phased closures. The signal is post-award, but the absence of a start date means the security procurement window may still be open if Grunley has not locked subcontractors. Pittsburgh branch is the nearest at 191 miles, within the 300-mile coverage radius. No warm Zedcor customer sits nearby. The recommended first move is a cold outreach to Grunley's project superintendent or security coordinator, framing mobile-tower availability for the outdoor work zones and after-hours equipment protection. The cultural-site context and public-access liability make this a credible security conversation even without a warm intro.
