PART 1 � SUMMARY OF WORK

ITEM 1 - WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

1.1 General: All work outlined below will be performed under a single contract.

1.2 Project Location: The work shall be performed at the Hay Barn and Horse Barn at the Historic

Pierce Ranch located at 8180 Pierce Point Road, Inverness, CA within the Point Reyes National

Seashore. Pierce Ranch is located at the end of Pierce Point Road, approximately 16 miles from the Point Reyes National Seashore�s Bear Valley Visitor Center (See Location Map).

1.3 Project Background: The purpose of this project is to prepare and paint the exterior of the historic

Pierce Ranch Hay Barn and Horse Barn to maintain a sound exterior envelope and improve the visual appearance of the building.

1.4 General Site and Building Descriptions:

A number of visitors also encounter the Pierce Ranch incidentally, as the ranch is situated at the trailhead of one of the park most popular and heavily visited trailheads.

B. Pierce Ranch Hay Barn (Hay Barn): The Hay Barn is a 19th century milking barn and the largest building on the property, measuring 65 by 180 feet. The barn is a wood framed structure with vertical board siding, painted white. There are 6 exterior doors and 18 window openings The roof is a wood shingled gable of medium pitch. There are central gabled dormers at each of the main doors, located at the mid-points of each long side. The interior is a single space divided into five aisles by the structural bay system. It has a foundation of 15 transverse stone masonry walls and a continuous masonry perimeter wall.

C. Pierce Ranch Horse Barn (Horse Barn): This building is a 19th century horse barn of rectangular shape measuring 115 by 50 feet. On the east side at the north corner there is another rectangle, this one a shed roofed addition measuring 45 by 15 feet. The barn is wood framed and the primary exterior finish is horizontal board siding, painted white. There are 13 exterior doors and 19 exterior windows. The roof is of medium pitch with wood shingles. The building is located on a slight slope so that at the low corner the structure is two stories in height and has a group of 4 open stock stalls cut into the hill under the main floor. The interior is divided into a number of spaces and loft areas.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

previously painted exterior surfaces of the Hay Barn and Horse Barn at the Historic Pierce

Ranch. The Horse Barn includes and estimated 6,100 square feet of surface to be prepped and painted, and the Hay Barn includes an estimated 6,300 square feet of surface to be prepped and painted.

B. Typical of buildings constructed during this period, these buildings are presumed to have been coated previously with lead-based paints. It is not the NPS�s intention to abate lead-based paint under this contract. Surface preparation is to be conducted in a manner consistent with Federal, State and local regulations and best practices and guidelines for lead-related construction work (including the EPA lead-safe work practices as specified in the

Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program rule); provides for the safety of workers, park staff, residents and visitors; avoids the creation of lead hazards; and provides for the proper handling, storage and disposal of lead contaminants.
