1.3 Location

This project is located at 93 Delaware Avenue, Put-in-Bay, Ohio. This site is situated on South Bass Island in Lake Erie and is approximately two miles from the mainland.

1.4 Background

The Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial at Put-in-Bay, South Bass Island, Ohio is a memorial containing the world’s tallest Doric column and is listed on the National Record of Historic Places (NR#66000118). The Upper Plaza and supporting structure have experienced deterioration in part due to failed waterproofing, condensation, water penetration, and freeze-thaw damage that has compromised its structural integrity. A structural assessment indicated that the condition of the Upper Plaza structure could no longer support the designed live load, resulting in the closure of the Upper Plaza to large groups since 2006. In addition, Upper Plaza finishes have been altered in recent years due to short-term maintenance projects, the planters are devoid of landscape material, and the plaza no longer reflects the historic intent of the Memorial. There is no dedicated route to access the Lower Plaza or Upper Plaza as defined by the Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Standards (ABAAS).

1.5 Description

This project will reconstruct the structure supporting the Upper Plaza and the associated waterproofing of the structure while being sensitive to the historic design intent. Interior spaces below the Upper Plaza will be modified to the extent possible given the current budget to meet current needs, satisfy current code requirements, and improve functionality. Public restrooms and exterior plaza spaces will be made compliant with accessibility standards. Building systems will be installed to meet current standards, code requirements, and demands. The Upper Plaza finishes will be restored by reusing historic materials to recreate the paving pattern, stairs and parapet walls to historic design intent. The surface finishes at the Lower Plaza will be removed and reset to address tripping hazards. Accessible routes shall be installed to access the Lower Plaza and Upper Plaza. The

SOLICITATION 140P2022R0088 | Page 5 of 49 vegetation at the perimeter berm and within the planters of the Upper Plaza will be restored to strengthen the historic integrity of the Memorial. Fire alarm systems and security systems will be improved for safety.

The project’s ultimate design approach will be determined by the successful design-builder. As such, this procurement is dependent on the competing design-builders' ability to propose design concepts that meet the following key technical requirements (1-7 below) within the available budget. The paramount mission of this project is to rehabilitate the failing upper plaza and allow visitors back on to the plaza, which ties in closely with how to achieve this structurally from below.

The key requirements are:

1. Repair, retrofit, or replace the structure supporting the Upper Plaza to meet current building code loading requirements.

2. Waterproof the structure supporting the Upper Plaza to prevent future deterioration of the structure.

3. Repair, retrofit, or replace mechanical and utility systems to meet current code requirements, deficient conditions, and present-day needs. Including upgrading the HVAC systems to provide appropriately conditioned spaces in the undercroft and the memorial column. Provide code-compliant, appropriate spaces for mechanical and utility systems beneath the Upper Plaza.

4. Remove, salvage, preserve, and reinstall the historic fabric of the upper and lower plazas. Provide new matching granite pavers to restore the historic paving pattern, provide drainage, and remove tripping hazards during re-installation.

5. Incorporate accessibility requirements from parking to lower and upper plazas and restrooms.

6. Minimize non-historic, visual impacts to the memorial viewshed from the park visitor center by incorporating any new, large structures such as maintenance access to the lower level, restrooms, or access ramps on the east side of the memorial.

7. Maintain the aesthetics of the symmetrical landscape and structure.

A best-value selection will be made based the effectiveness of the solution on the key technical requirements above. Additional priced bid options for improvements to the project are listed below. Each priced option should include the costs of additional design as well as construction.

A. Replace restrooms in undercroft with restrooms meeting accessibility requirements B. Provide a connection of north-south access on the east side of the memorial to the south seawall sidewalk for maintenance vehicles.

C. Configure lower-level interior spaces to provide a minimum of 10,000 SF of dry storage space.

D. Configure lower-level interior spaces to provide a minimum of 1,500 SF conditioned, locked storage space.

E. Configure lower-level interior spaces to provide conditioned space for one office.

F. Configure lower-level interior spaces to provide men’s and women’s staff locker room space with private restrooms.

G. Remove the existing parking area and provide an accessible landscape to the lower plaza. Provide additional parking to the east and west of the memorial along Bay View Ave (OH State Route 357) with accessibility to the memorial.

H. Provide north-south pedestrian access on the west side of the memorial connecting north and south sidewalks.

SOLICITATION 140P2022R0088 | Page 6 of 49

I. Replacement of removed vegetation around the perimeter berm with new low-growing landscape plantings.

1.6 Schedule

The period of design and construction performance is intended to be competitively rated with preference being given to shorter schedules that minimize impact on the park during construction. The schedule must be realistic to allow for NPS input and review during design, adequate time for compliance and permitting actions, and the logistics for construction seasons (island is not accessible all year round) and working on an island. The island ferry typically starts running in mid-March (St. Patrick’s Day) and runs until the winter shuts it down. The official close is early December, but it will continue to run on a limited schedule pending weather. There is the availability of flying there if the winter is mild. Residents stay on the island during the winter, but there are limited facilities open for visitors. Living and working on the island during the winter will take pre-planning. Refer to Section on Special Construction requirements for more details on work hours and restrictions.

General: DB Contractor shall upload project schedule to NPS/DSC SharePoint Project website and provide two (2) color copies after award and before design meeting. Schedule shall include detailed design phase with design deliverable submission dates, review periods, and summary construction schedule with important milestones included for both phases.

Fully develop construction portion of project schedule and submit to Contracting Officer on NPS/DSC SharePoint Project website before Preconstruction meeting or construction begins. Update project schedule monthly throughout contract period until project substantial completion. Status date of each schedule

SOLICITATION 140P2022R0088 | Page 16 of 49 update shall be 10 days before progress payment request date.

Construction work cannot begin until Government approval is obtained for either:

• Entire set of 100% Complete DB Construction Documents.

• Fast track construction: 100% Complete DB Construction Documents affecting work to be constructed.

Purpose: Project schedule ensures adequate planning, coordinating, scheduling, and reporting of DB Contractor’s design and construction activities. Project schedule will assist DB Contractor and Contracting Officer to monitor work progress, evaluate proposed changes, and process DB Contractor's monthly progress payment requests.

Schedule Development: Project schedule shall cover entire contract period. Late finish date is same as contract’s established completion date.

DB Contractor shall use Critical Path Method (CPM) with limited use of lead or lag durations between schedule activities. DB Contractor's project schedule shall consist of procurement activities (including mobilization, submittal, and fabrication and delivery of key and long-lead procurement items) and construction activities.

DB Contractor's project schedule shall consist of, but not be limited to, the following for each activity:

• Identify activities and numbers numerically (maximum 5-digit). Number activities in increments of 10.

• Concisely describe work represented by activity (maximum 48 characters). Avoid using non-standard abbreviations. Limit work related to each activity to one work trade.

• Activity duration shall be in whole working days with maximum duration 15 work days each, unless otherwise approved by Contracting Officer, except for non-construction activities including mobilization, shop drawing and sample submittals, fabrication of materials, delivery of materials and equipment, and concrete curing.

DB Contractor shall ensure project schedule includes own work and Subcontractor work.

Project schedule shall show sequence and interdependence of activities required for complete performance of work and shall be cost and resource loaded. DB Contractor shall ensure work sequences are logical and project schedule shows a coordinated work plan. Proposed durations assigned to each activity shall be DB Contractor's best estimate of time required to complete activity, considering scope and resources planned.

Resource loading of each activity shall list personnel by labor category and equipment type, and capacity proposed to complete activity in duration shown. Include permit requirements and constraints. Consider and include seasonal weather conditions in planning and scheduling of work influenced by high or low ambient temperatures and wind and/or precipitation, to ensure completion of work within contract time.

Project Schedule Updates

Monthly updates: Monthly updates of project schedule shall be an integral part and basic element of estimate upon which progress payments shall be made under this contract. If, in judgment of Contracting Officer, DB Contractor fails or refuses to provide schedule of values and complete schedule update or

SOLICITATION 140P2022R0088 | Page 17 of 49 revision as specified hereinafter, DB Contractor shall be deemed to have not provided required information upon which progress payment may be made and shall be subject to retainage of a portion of the payment.

Narrative: Include in report:

• Brief description actual progress made during update period.

• Actual and potential delaying activities.

• Impediments to progress.

• Issues related to inclement weather.

• Progress toward established milestones.

• Project float.

• Brief description of work anticipated to be performed in next month.

• Identify minor revisions to schedule for evaluation and accepted or rejected.

As work progresses, indicate Actual Completion percentage for each activity. If schedule update shows late finish date after contract completion date, at a minimum, include the following in narrative with submission:

• Known delays.

• Actions taken to get back on schedule.

• Pending modifications.

• Impediments or constraints affecting progress.

Progress Payments: Update currently accepted construction schedule monthly. If DB Contractor fails to provide monthly updates or revisions to currently accepted construction schedule, a portion of monthly payment may be retained until updates/revisions made.

Time Impact Analysis for Contract Modifications, Changes, Delays, and Contractor Requests Requirements: When contract modifications or changes are initiated, delays are experienced, or DB Contractor revises project schedule, DB Contractor shall submit to Contracting Officer a written time impact analysis illustrating influence of each modification, change, delay, or DB Contractor’s request on the contract time.

• Time Extensions: Activity delays shall not automatically mean an extension of contract time is warranted or due to DB Contractor. It is possible that modification, change, or delay will not affect existing critical activities or cause non-critical activities to become critical. A modification, change, or delay may result in only absorbing a part of available total float that may exist within an activity chain of the project schedule, thereby not effecting the contract time. Time extensions will be granted according with terms of contract.

• Float: Float is not for exclusive use or benefit for NPS or DB Contractor. Extension of contract time is granted only to extent the equitable time adjustments to activity or activities affected by modification, change, or delay exceeds total (positive or zero) float available on a particular activity.
