1.2 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

A. Project Location: The Boston Common and Boston Public Garden, Northeast corner at the intersection of Beacon Street and Park Street, Boston, Massachusetts.

B. The Work consists of the following:

1. The work of this contract consists of the restoration, stabilization and seismic upgrade of the Robert Gould Shaw & 54th Regiment Memorial. Specific work items include:

dismantling, off-site conservation, and reinstallation of the bronze relief, deconstruction and replacement of the Memorial’s underlying brick wall with a new concrete wall, installation of stone anchorage to the backup wall, replacement of flashing, installation of new steel support frame, dismantling, conservation and reconstruction of the existing stone masonry walls, balustrade and surrounding site features, excavation of the plaza crawlspace for installation of new reinforcement plaza framing, including application of a new coating system, installation of a cathodic protection system, and installation of new, associated electrical work.

2. The project will be constructed under a single prime contract.

C. Background:

In 1863, after the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect, President Lincoln agreed to recruit African American men into the army, though in segregated regiments led by white officers. The first of these raised in the north, was the Massachusetts 54th Regiment led by Colonel Robert Gould Shaw of Boston, the son of staunch abolitionists.

In July, the regiment was sent to South Carolina where an assault was planned on Fort Wagner guarding Charleston harbor. Shaw asked to have 54th Regiment lead the attack and the chance for the men to prove themselves the equal of white soldiers. Of the 600 men in the attack that day, there were 285 casualties, and Col. Shaw was killed, but the men never wavered in the battle and demonstrated great courage and determination. As a result of their actions, other black regiments were formed, and by the end of the war 10% of the union army was made up of African Americans.

BOAF - 242310 01 11 00 - 2

The Shaw Memorial depicts Colonel Robert Gould Shaw and his men marching past the State House on their way to South Carolina, Shaw erect on his horse, the men marching alongside. On the reviewing stand, along with Governor Andrew, is Frederick Douglass who had worked tirelessly to convince President Lincoln to allow recruitment of African Americans into the army. Douglass's two sons, Lewis and Charles, were in the regiment.
