140P4521Q0002 QUESTIONS and ANSWERS

1. What is the weight limit on top of the roof for equipment use?

We don’t know that. While it should be able to handle substantial weight, the steep side slopes and sheer drop-off makes the use of larger equipment, such as a skid-steer loader, potentially hazardous. There is also greater potential of accidental damage to roof features like chimneys and cupolas with larger equipment. Walk-behind brush mowers should be fine as long as they are kept away from the steep slopes. A skid-steer loader with a brush cutter attachment may be used on the counterscarp slopes outside of the fence.

2. Was there specific equipment used on top of the roof in the past?

Other than chain saws, none that we know of.

3. Is undergrowth considered trees, sapling, weed Etc. down to the Grass?

Yes, all woody plant material. Only herbaceous plants should be left.

4. who was the last contractor and amount of the last work performance to do this specific work, If any?

We have been unable to find information on a previous contract where this was done.

Judging by photos taken in 2012, it was likely done on the roof of the fort around 2010.

The woody vegetation on the counterscarp has been allowed to grow since before Fort Wadsworth was taken over by the NPS in 1994.
