SUMMARY OF WORK

1.1 EXISTING CONDITIONS

Existing Condition and location of the fence:

Appendix A attached to this document shows photos of present fence condition.

1.2 SCOPE OF WORK (WORK ITEMS)

A. INTRODUCTION

Mojave National Preserve is located in the northeastern Mojave Desert in California. Established by Congress on October 31, 1994, by the California Desert Protection Act (CDPA), Mojave is a relatively new unit of the National Park Service (NPS). Within the Preserve’s 1.6 million acres, there is a diverse mix of geologic features complemented by unique plant and animal life. Evidence of human uses ranging from archeological sites possibly dating back 12,000 years to historic uses including mining, cattle ranching, and grazing.

Kelso was historically important for two reasons. First, the stiff 2% grade between Kelso and Cima summit located 18 miles to the north necessitated the placement of "helper" engines at this locale. Second, Kelso has long had a reliable source of water from deep wells fed by springs flowing underground from the Providence Mountains. The first Kelso Depot was constructed in 1905, but that was replaced in 1923 with the current depot and a small railroad town grew up near it. In 1911, the original one room school was established in Kelso. It was converted to the Teacher’s House when a new school was built in the 1920s. The town of Kelso flourished during WWII when government subsidies made operation of the nearby Vulcan Iron Mine profitable to operate. The Kelso School closed permanently around 1970, and, since acquired by the NPS, there is little information available about these structures; however, they have been listed (on January 31, 2019) in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as contributing elements of the Kelso Depot Historic District. With the restoration of the Kelso Depot now complete and its opening as Mojave’s principal Visitor Center in 2025, the park is placing a larger emphasis on the rehabilitation of other structures that comprise this historic district. Long range plans for the interpretation of the historic town of Kelso include opening the School House and associated buildings to visitor use.

This plan requires that the currently moth-balled buildings and deteriorating structures be brought up to standards suitable for such use. Funds are needed to cyclically maintain the Kelso School structures to provide protection from deterioration and vandalism.

The schoolyard fence to be treated has been evaluated and found to be a contributing feature of the Kelso historic district. The fence is falling down in places with broken posts and requires repair.

B. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The contractor shall provide all labor, equipment, and services to perform all tasks required for the repair of the Kelso schoolyard fence. Refer to photographs in Appendix A for extent of fence repair needs.

The contractor shall participate in field work to update the condition, as necessary, of all eligible objects, features, and structures, including several that may have been modified since the initial inventory and assessment effort, shall prepare and maintain a field record detailing the field work (complete with field notes and photographs, exact details to be worked out between NPS archaeologist and contractor).

The contractor shall work in consultation with Preserve Cultural Resources staff to perform all necessary technical analysis. It is anticipated that the contractor shall work closely with the Preserve staff to successfully complete this project by submitting updates as to the progress of the project.

All work shall be technically and legally defensible and in full compliance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended; the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations (40CFR 1500-1508); the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1963, as amended;

and National Park Service Director’s Order 28 relating to cultural resources. Communication and coordination activities such as conference calls and product review meetings with the Contract Officer’s Representative (COR) and other staff as requested by the NPS to facilitate project progress and completion are anticipated.
