Project Scope: The purpose of this project is to rehabilitate the Sheriff's House for occupancy and provide appropriate allocation of the building's interior spaces for park operations, visitor services, and potentially compatible non-National Park Service (NPS) uses, or a combination thereof. Rehabilitation will consider park and visitor needs, accessibility, resource preservation, and visitor experience. Potential impacts on historic structures and districts are evaluated based on changes to character-defining features of the resources, which are the characteristics of a historic property that qualify the property for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. There are no functional code compliant building systems currently in this structure. Adaptive re-use and occupancy of this building for multiple uses will require the introduction of non-historic elements including but not limited to: structural reinforcement, heating and ventilation systems, electrical systems, potable water and sanitary sewer, communications/IT systems, physical security hardware and monitoring systems, and fire protection and life safety systems in compliance with ICC building codes for public occupancy buildings. Interior and Exterior historic fabric and elements would be repaired and restored as appropriate. Adaptation for future uses will also include providing universal access into the building, while maintaining and preserving the historic character for the future. Exterior Treatments: Several actions would be undertaken to preserve the building exterior. The masonry stairs at the front facade would be repaired where the bedding planes are separated. At the rear courtyard, the copings of the masonry walls would be repointed and reset as needed. On the north elevation, moisture penetration issues would be addressed, and masonry would be repointed where deteriorated. Interior Treatments: To address the deteriorated condition of the interior, the following actions would be undertaken as needed throughout the building's basement, first floor, and second floor. All sources of water infiltration throughout the building would be determined and addressed. All damaged plaster and parged walls would be repaired or replaced with compatible materials, all walls would be refinished, and walls on the first and second floors would be repainted. The materials and finishes would be compatible with the historic fabric of the building. On all ceilings, rotting joists and headers, damaged or missing plaster, and damaged or missing wood lath would be repaired or replaced with compatible materials. All ceilings would be refinished and ceilings on the first and second floors would be repainted. All original wood floors would be repaired and, in any areas unable to be repaired, or where boards are missing, boards would be replaced in kind to match the existing original floors. All wood floors would be refinished to match the original wood floors to the extent possible. Modern floors would be repaired and refinished or, where deteriorated, removed and replaced with materials compatible with the historic fabric of the building. All windows and doors would be restored, including sills, jambs, wood trim, joists, sash cords, thresholds and hardware. All elements would be restored where possible, but where missing or severely damaged, replacement components would be created in historically compatible materials to match the existing, including complete doors. A set of historic paneled wood vestibule doors, circa 1890, are currently stored in the basement and would be repaired, refinished, and rehung in their original location in the central hall, in the open position. All incompatible modern hardware would be removed and replaced with historically compatible materials. All fireplaces would be repaired and refinished, including the fireboxes, mantels, and hearths. Any missing or severely damaged elements would be replaced with historically compatible materials. On the first floor, the walls and doors in the stair hall (rooms 105 and 106) and the rooms in the western corner (rooms 107-110) that are not original to the 19th century construction would be removed to create an accessible path off the central hall. Additionally, the mid to-late 20th century bathroom fixtures in rooms 113 and 114 would be removed. On the second floor, the existing restroom would be rehabilitated with updated fixtures and a new plumbing system, and would remain as a single, unisex restroom for use by building occupants. The existing floor plan and layout of the second floor would remain. All plumbing, electrical, and climate control systems would be updated or replaced as needed. New mechanical equipment that would serve the Sheriff's House would be located in the basement. Updated and modern systems would tie into existing systems and infrastructure where possible. Incompatible modern elements and fixtures, particularly lighting fixtures, would be replaced with more compatible materials and fixtures. Interior Exhibits: Fabrication and installation of interpretative media for the purpose of creating museum exhibits is also included in this scope. Exhibits include plaques that provide a description of historic use and context, high resolution graphic panels, interactive maps, flip books, exhibit rails with descriptive plaques, and dimensional lettering. Exhibit features include systems for audio descriptions and assistive listening to comply with accessibility standards. Completion of the rehab of the Sheriff's House (unoccupied since 1990) would correct deferred maintenance and enhance visitor experience and understanding of its significance, as well as provide orientation to other resources at this new and emerging NPS unit. Type of Procurement: It is anticipated that a negotiated firm-fixed price contract will be awarded requiring submission of both a technical and price proposal. The government will consider an offeror's technical capability in comparison to its price. Estimated Price Range: between $5 million and $10 million Extend Requests for Information to September 21, 2021, at 5p Eastern.
