1110 SUMMARY OF WORK

A. SUMMARY

1. Work: Includes all necessary materials, labor, labor superintendence, management, fees, assessments and costs to construct the project in accordance with the Contract Documents.

2. The Kilauea Point Lighthouse is listed on the National Register of

Historic Places. All Work will conform with the Secretary of the

Interior’s Standards for Treatment of Historic Places (CFR 38).

B. DESCRIPTION OF WORK

1. Location of Work is at the Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge, located just north of Kilauea, Hawaii. Kilauea Point National Wildlife

Refuge is a 203-acre property, under the ownership and management of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The refuge is known for its spectacular ocean headland, native seabirds, endangered animal species and its intact lighthouse station.

2. The Kilauea lighthouse was built in 1913 and operated until 1974 when its service was superseded by an automated beacon. The lighthouse stands as a monument to the duties that it once held. The Lighthouse is made up of a cast in place concrete tower and a lantern made of cast iron, bronze and brass. The lighthouse stands 53 feet tall. The

Kilauea Point Lighthouse was listed on the National Register of

Historic Places on October 18, 1979. The light station transferred to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for inclusion in the 203-acre

Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge in 1985.

3. The Project is to rehabilitate the lantern of the Kilauea Point

Lighthouse with stainless steel replacement materials. This Work includes, but is not limited to, interior and exterior paint removal from metalwork; exterior replacement of cast iron; reglaze glass panels in bronze sash frames; fabrication of new lantern sill components in stainless steel and bronze screw replacements throughout the lantern.
