Stabilize B129

For National Historic Archives

Project 552-18-202

Provide complete construction services, including all necessary tools, equipment and personnel to perform work as specified in the design drawings for this project on the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, located at 4100 West Third Street, Dayton, OH 45428. The installations, when complete, must be permanent and part of an overall plan to restore and preserve the building. The purpose of this design is an effort to prevent further deterioration of this structure, allowing for subsequent conservation and restoration.

Building 129 was constructed in 1881 and is considered to be an important structure that is architecturally significant and hence this project shall consider and abide by all applicable federal, state and local historical regulatory agency statutes. In view of this, no permanent exterior alterations may be incorporated into the planning, design and execution of the project without approvals from appropriate agencies. The contractor shall consult with and/or retain a qualified historic preservation specialist.

In support of this project, a detailed report of existing conditions has been prepared. For planning purposes, this report shall be used as a source document.

All schematics, design development and construction drawings and specifications documents have been developed in accordance with the following listed Department of Veterans Affairs References:
