2. Location: The Main Lodge, Garage and Barn are each located within the 4 Lazy F Ranch Historic District, 1.5 miles north of Moose, WY at the end of the 4 Lazy F Ranch Road. Moose, WY is located approximately 14 miles north of Jackson, WY.

3. Project Tasks: The Contractor will be required to perform stabilization work on the following three historic log structures. All work shall be in accordance with the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. All work is to be performed in accordance with applicable Federal, State, and local regulations, including requirements of OSHA, EPA, ADEQ, and county regulations that apply for each location.

a. ( Main Lodge front elevation )Main Lodge: The Main Lodge is a historic log structure with a main low sloped gable roof and a gable roof to the front and the back of the building, roof measuring approximately 36 ’x 84’ (to be verified by contractor). There are also 3 small low sloped shed roofs on the side elevations. The existing roofing is green rolled roofing which is deteriorated and either falling off or in clumps on the roof. This project will provide a temporary roof for the next few years and winters to prevent further moisture damage before a larger rehabilitation project to the building can happen in the future.

Roof Eave Detail, typ.

) The Contractor will be responsible for the installation of a temporary roofing layer over the existing roof surface. The work includes preparing and cleaning the existing roof surface by removing loose asphalt roofing, removing or securing any existing loose or protruding roofing fasteners, and removing and replacing any broken eave boards. Then a layer of ¾” plywood shall be installed and attached over the entire roof followed by a layer of ice and water shield over the whole roof and down the eaves. Next the contractor is responsible for installing green rolled roofing over the entire roof and eaves, color to be approved by COR. Roofs to include the whole main roof, shed roof and porch shed roofs. Install all roofing materials per detail provided and manufacturer’s specifications.

b. ( Garage front elevation )Garage: The log garage approximately 33’ x 24’ (contractor to verify) has three solid log walls and the south wall has three open bays with log posts. The building collapsed under heavy snow loads and needs the damaged material to be removed and the remain structure to be stabilized.

The Contractor will be responsible for stabilizing the partially collapsed Garage building. Work includes removing and properly disposing of all damaged material from the roof collapse including roofing and fascia material, roof sheathing, fasteners, log purlins and log supports. The log walls, windows and opening shall be protected from further collapse during the removal process. Next the contractor is responsible for replacing deteriorated sill logs and two deteriorated posts approximately 8’ tall on the south elevation. All log walls should be stabilized by installing a vertical 2x8 pressure treated board on each side of the wall, then bolting through each board and chinking 1’ from the top and bottom of the wall. The vertical “sandwich” brace will then be supported on the interior and exterior of the wall with a wood 2x8 pressure treated angle brace attached ¾ the way up the wall then down to the ground. Finally, all of the log and wood surfaces will be treated with raw linseed oil to help protect it from further moisture and sun damage. Linseed oil will be provided by GTNP.

c. Barn: The Contractor will be responsible for stabilizing the west interior log wall and perform repairs to the main wood barn doors. The log wall has two 3x boards on either side of the western interior log wall, which beginning to bow. In order to prevent further bowing and potential wall collapse, the contractor will install three through-bolts evenly along the height of the existing vertical boards through the chinking. Do not drill through any logs.

Barn front elevation ) In addition, the historic sliding wood, board and batten, barn doors will be repaired then rehung in their metal tracks and secured in place. The contractor shall reattach any loose door boards to prevent them from detaching further. One of the two metal tracks is on the ground and will be reattached to the building in its original location, so the doors can function again. Then the doors will be rehung in their metal tracks. Minor repairs to the tracks and rollers should be made to ensure the doors roll more smoothly, ensuring any repairs protect the historic fabric. Next, both sliding doors will be secured in the open position using means that cause minimal damage to the historic fabric to prevent visitors from trying to open and close the doors, which causes more damage to the doors and tracks. A door sweep should be added to the interior of the two hinged doors to prevent snow and debris from entering under the door. A snow barrier should be installed over the base of the wood doors to prevent snow build up at the base of the doors in the winter. Finally, red linseed oil based paint will be applied to both sliding doors and both hinged doors on all wood door surfaces, metal door hardware and the metal track. Linseed oil based paint will be provided by GTNP.
