5.2 Line Item Description:

Base Contract: The Base Contract includes all labor, supplies, materials, and equipment required to make foundation repairs, replace deteriorated logs, floor joists, and flooring in the living room, and to reinstall interior walls and windows of the Cunningham House as described below.

More specifically, Bid Item 1 includes all supplies, materials, labor, equipment, and overhead costs necessary to complete the work described below and shown on the plan drawings. This shall include, but not be limited to:

Performance and Payment Bonds, Accident Prevention Plans, Activity Hazard Analysis, Quality Control Plans, Work Plans, Environmental Protection Plans, Material Submittals, Overhead costs, Insurance costs, Project Meetings, Temporary Facilities, Closeout Submittals, Environmental Protection Measures, etc., as well as performing the following repairs to the Cunningham House as described below:

Removal of Inside Walls, Window, and Bracing Porch

In order to view the logs and sills that may be deteriorated, interior wall boards shall be removed in the area around the South and West side of the living room in the area that will be repaired. They shall be removed to a height of at least 3’. Boards shall be numbered to enable them to be replaced in the same place they were removed from. Care shall be taken to remove the boards so they can later be reinstalled.

The window sashes shall be removed from the area to be repaired. Care shall be taken to remove the sashes so they can later be reinstalled.

The porch roof shall be braced to secure the roof while the building repairs are made.

Foundation

Under the floor of the living room in the existing structure, on the Southwest corner, the Contractor shall remove loose soil so that there is at least 16 inches of clearance between the earth and any wooden building components.

In order to support the building temporarily, the Contractor shall place cribbing under all beams and log walls under the living room. If any sections of the sill have settled so they are not level with other sills under the room, the Contractor shall jack the corner up that has sunk so it is level with the sills in the rest of the building. Care shall be taken to brace any walls so there is no chance that a log could shift. Any jacking shall be done professionally using methods common to the trade.

Where the soil has settled under the room where load-bearing supports touch the ground, the Contractor shall install a concrete footing under any affected sections of the foundation. The proper height for the top of the foundation shall be determined, and then any rocks from the existing pier shall be removed. Dirt shall be excavated where the footing will be placed. Half inch rebar shall be placed in any areas where the bearing soil is unstable. The footing shall be at least 12” thick and 24” wide, and the length shall be determined by the length of the area that will be repaired and will need to be supported. Three #4 rebars shall be installed in footer. Rebar shall be evenly spaced and no closer than 1 inch from any edge, with #3 ties installed 24” center to center. If necessary, the pad shall be made larger so it extends at least six inches on all sides past the edge of any support piers or foundation parts. The bottom of the footing shall rest below the frost line. Concrete blocks (8”x8”x16”) shall form new piers that extend to the height of the levelled logs and support beams. Cores of blocks shall be filled with concrete. J bolts shall be installed 48” center to center to be used to anchor a white oak timber that shall be installed over the blocks and under the log wall. On the top of this oak timber, a galvanized shield shall be installed. This shield shall not be visible from outside the building. The rows of blocks that support the joist beams shall have a 2”x8” ACQ treated plate installed, with a galvanized shield between the wood and the blocks. This plate shall be secured to the blocks using ¼” timber screws suitable for use with ACQ treated wood. Care shall be taken to assure the height is correct so that once installed, the new floor is the same height as the floor that was removed. Any surfaces of the blocks that will be visible outside after the repairs are complete shall be veneered with rocks / mortar that match the rest of the stonework on the building.

Sills

Square-hewn beams lay on top of the foundation. These sills support the entire building, including the first-floor joists, the door bucks, and the end logs.

These sills shall be removed in the deteriorated section, and supports shall be made using 8” x 8” x 16” concrete blocks topped with ACQ Pressure Treated 2” x 8” lumber. A metal shield shall be inserted between the masonry and wood. Wooden shims may need to be used to fill any gaps.

Once the above repairs have been made, all temporary supports and temporary beams shall be removed.

Wall Logs

Detailed information on this process may be found at: https://www.nps.gov/tps/how-to-preserve/briefs/26-log-buildings.htm.

Repairing or replacing only a segment of a log is not always possible. Replacement of an entire log may be the only solution if it has been substantially lost to decay and collapsed under the weight of logs above it. Log replacement is begun by temporarily supporting the logs above, and then jacking them up just enough to insert the new log.

Potential danger to the structure may include creating inadequate temporary bearing points, and crushing chinking and interior finishes which may have settled slowly into non-original positions that cannot withstand jacking.

There are two ways to lift a log wall. The first involves passing steel plates through the wall from outside to inside, just above the log to be replaced. The building is then lifted by positioning a jack under each end of the plate inside and outside of the building. The drawback to this method is that the log cannot simply be rolled out of the way. T must be removed by pulling it out by one end.

The second method of l ifting a log wall is cribbing – sandwiching the wall b e tween a series of vertical lumber supports, or cribs, that are secured through the wall with threaded rods, washers and nuts and then "snugged" to hold the logs tight. Jacks are placed under the cribs and the wall section is lifted until the rotten log is freed and rolled out of position.

To begin the process of log replacement, the entire length of the log must be inspected from the exterior and the interior of the structure to determine whether it supports any structural members or features, and how their load can be taken up by bracing during jacking and removal.

On the exterior, sheathing such as weatherboard, and adjacent chinking, must be removed along the length of the log to perform this inspection. Likewise, on the interior, abutting partition walls and plaster may also need to be removed around the log to determine what, if any, features are supported by or tied into the log to be removed.

If only a section of a log needs replaced, all the deteriorated wood shall be removed. This will leave a rectangular cavity. The cavity shall be measured, and a new replacement piece shall be constructed using ACQ Pressure Treated 2” lumber nailed together with nails rated for use with ACQ wood rated for ground contact to make a log sized similar to the existing log.

If large sections of a log have rotted, the log has lost its structural integrity, and is no longer able to bear its load, the Contractor shall replace it in its entirely. The entire affected wall, as well as part of the second floor and the room, must be temporarily supported while repairs are made. The area shall be jacked up to bear the joists. Care shall be taken to brace any walls so there is no chance that a log could shift, causing the structure to collapse. After the wall is raised, the old log shall be removed. A new log shall be constructed using ACQ Pressure Treated 2” lumber rated for ground contact nailed together with nails rated for use with ACQ wood to make a log sized similar to the existing log. A correct fit often requires a bit of fine tuning. It is not uncommon to raise and lower a wall section several times, or even to remove the replacement log for adjustment and reinstallation.

Floor Joists

Floor joist beams were typically trees approximately 6” to 12” in diameter. These timbers had half lapped joints at each end that allowed them to rest solidly on the sills. The sleepers were not fastened to the sills; gravity and the flooring boards were nailed to them to keep them in place.

New “sister” floor joist beams shall be constructed using ACQ Pressure Treated 2” x 12” lumber rated for ground contact on each side of the log joist. These 2” x 12” boards shall be bolted with ¾” bolts rated for use with ACQ wood to the log joists by drilling through the 2” x 12” lumber and the log joist. One bolt shall join all three pieces together. These bolts shall be spaced 32” center to center. If a log section is missing, wood blocks shall be placed in the spaces. The beams shall be notched to fit over the blocks / plate and shall be placed and spaced 24 inches apart. Care shall be taken to assure the height is correct so that once installed, the new floor is the same height as the floor that was removed.

Once the joist beams are placed and the dirt is leveled, a vapor barrier at least 6 mil thick shall be placed over all exposed dirt under the joists. All edges shall be sealed to the wall liner with tape, and also sealed to the wall liner at all piers.

Treatment

The Contractor shall apply borate salts at a 3:1 ratio, properly diluted for initial application. This shall be used to thoroughly saturate all log joist beams, sill beams, and lower logs that are accessible.

Flooring

If the previously-removed flooring is reusable, it shall be reinstalled professionally. If it is not reusable, the Contractor shall obtain flooring to match existing flooring in the building. New flooring shall be attached using the same method as other flooring in the building. Once complete, it shall not be detectible what areas have new flooring vs. original flooring. Any trim shall be replaced to match existing trim in the building and shall be attached with fasteners to match existing trim.

Replacement of Interior Walls and Windows

All interior walls that were previously removed shall be re-installed to exactly match surrounding interior walls. If necessary to patch holes, a waterproof patch shall be used. Surfaces shall be painted to match adjacent siding / interior walls. Windows shall be reinstalled and adjusted so they work properly. Bracing shall be removed from the porch, it shall be levelled, and porch foundation stones shall be replaced.

Cleanup

The Contractor shall clean the work area at the end of each workday. Upon completion of the repairs, the Contractor shall clean all debris and waste resulting from the repair operations and restore all surfaces, structures, and property in accordance with the attached plans, or to its original condition, to the satisfaction of the Government representative. All waste materials shall be disposed at an approved landfill facility.

Option 1: The delineation of Option 1 is described hereafter. Option 1 includes labor, supplies, materials, and equipment required to straighten the chimney on the west end of the Cunningham House, install gutters on the Cunningham House, and rebuild the Cat and Clay section of the chimney on the Johnson House.

More specifically, Option 1 includes all supplies, materials, labor, equipment, and overhead costs necessary to complete the work described below and shown on the plan drawings. This shall include, but not be limited to: Any incremental increase in the cost of Performance and Payment Bonds, Accident Prevention Plans, Activity Hazard Analysis, Quality Control Plans, Work Plans, Environmental Protection Plans, Material Submittals, Overhead costs, Insurance costs, Project Meetings, Temporary Facilities, Closeout Submittals, Environmental Protection Measures, etc., as well as performing the following repairs to the Cunningham House and Johnson House as described below:

Straightening Chimney

The cut stone chimney on the West side of the Cunningham House has settled. This chimney shall be moved so the base is level. Using the methods described above, brace, jack, and crib the chimney so it is secure. Care shall be taken to properly brace the chimney so nothing moves inadvertently. Once the chimney is properly braced, cribbed, and secured, excavate under a small section of the chimney and install a footing down to the frostline. Allow the concrete to cure, and excavate under another section. Continue excavating and pouring the footing in small sections until the chimney has a continuous concrete footing under the entire chimney to adequately support the rocks. Once the footing has properly cured, remove all bracing.

Installation of Gutters

In accordance with the attached drawing, install 5” half round galvanized gutters and downspouts with a minimum steel thickness 24 gauge, with appropriate galvanized tie-ins, connectors, elbows, mounting brackets, etc.

Guttering, downspouts, and all associated parts shall be galvanized. All parts used shall be historically correct for and appropriate for use on a historic structure of this period. The guttering shall be installed in accordance with professional methods common to the trade and manufacturer’s instructions. Schedule 40 4” drains shall be connected to the downspouts and shall be routed to nearby drains. The plastic Schedule 40 drains shall not be visible in any location, and all connections shall appear to be historically correct.

Repair of Johnson House Chimney

The chimney on the Johnson House is a Cat and Clay chimney. Please see the pictures of the building and chimney in the drawings. This chimney has a stone base. Above the base is the Cat and Clay section. The Cat and Clay section of the chimney has deteriorated and must be re-done. This section is formed by cutting strips out of wood, and then daubing between the strips with clay chinking designed for use on log structures. The color shall be tan to match existing chinking on buildings on site. The chinking shall be a flexible, textured log home chinking that seals open gaps between wood and shall be pure acrylic that adheres to wood and stretches to maintain a tight seal by following wood movement. The chinking shall be installed in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions and using professional methods common to the historical preservation trade.

The Contractor shall carefully measure the existing chimney, record the measurements, and then disassemble the Cat and Clay section.

The chimney shall be reconstructed to be the same size and height as the removed chimney. The Contractor shall provide dry oak strips to reconstruct the chimney. Strips shall be cut the same size as existing deteriorated strips.

Before the strips are installed, the Contractor shall apply borate salts at a 3:1 ratio, properly diluted for initial application. This mixture shall be used to thoroughly saturate all surfaces of each strip.

Inside the Cat and Clay section is flue liners. These liners shall be re-used if possible and if they are in a good condition. If it is not feasible to save and re-use them, the Contractor shall provide new liners and install them properly so they are sealed to the fireplace below and each liner is properly sealed together. The flue liner shall not be visible where it exits the chimney, and the area between the liner and the Cat and Clay chimney shall be properly sealed to keep rain or snow from entering the space between the liner and the chimney.

Once the frame is constructed, acrylic chinking shall be used to fill the voids between the strips. Care shall be taken to keep the acrylic chinking from covering the exposed faces of the strips.

Cleanup

The Contractor shall clean the work area at the end of each workday. Upon completion of the repairs, the Contractor shall clean all debris and waste resulting from the repair operations and restore all surfaces, structures, and property in accordance with the attached plans, or to its original condition, to the satisfaction of the Government representative. All waste materials shall be disposed at an approved landfill facility.
