SUMMARY OF WORK

PART 1: GENERAL

1-1 DESCRIPTION:

A. The work of this contract consists of the preparation, repair, priming, and painting of the exterior of various historic structures. The contractor shall paint all exposed previously-painted surfaces including exterior trim and moldings, exterior doors and windows, exterior siding, decking, railings, stairs, masonry, metal roofing and foundation cover/skirting. Existing surfaces and coatings exhibit flaking, cracking, bubbling, missing layers of paint from many years of neglect that must be prepared and treated to achieve a satisfactory finish. Coatings may include primers, lead control primers, oil base and latex paints, solid coat and semi- transparent stains, polyurethanes, and lacquers. Prior to painting, the contractor may need to repair some surfaces to an acceptable condition. Photos and a brief description are in Attachment D.

H. Maps and park information may be viewed at www.nps.gov/fova.

I. All work is to be performed under a single contract.

1-2 LOCATION:

A. Building 991 is located at 991 McClellan Road within Fort Vancouver National Historic Site, in

Vancouver, WA 98661. All other buildings are located at Pearson Air Museum, 1115 E 5th Street, in Vancouver, WA 98661. The buildings are all within ½ square mile.
