Cyclic maintenance is often required as well as repair work. Repair is required where specifically indicated.

A. The following procedures shall be followed:

• Retain as much existing material as possible; repair and consolidate rather than replace.

• Use additional material or structure to reinforce, strengthen, prop, tie, and support existing material or structure.

• Use reversible processes wherever possible.

• Use traditional replacement materials and techniques if possible. New work shall be distinguishable from old work and original materials and techniques.

• Record the existing condition before commencing with repair work; document with preconstruction photos, sketches and field notes. Record repair work during construction with periodic construction photos and daily inspection reporting. Photo documentation is specified in Division 01 Section "Photo Documentation For Historic Preservation Projects".

B. Protection of Historic Materials

Removed and Salvaged Historic Materials:

• Clean salvaged historic items.

When permitted by Contracting Officer, items may be removed to a suitable, protected storage location during historic treatment and reinstalled in their original locations after historic treatment operations are complete.

Storage and Protection:

• When removed from their existing location, store historic materials within a weather-tight enclosure where they are protected from wetting by rain, snow, or ground water, and temperature variations. Secure stored materials to protect from theft.

• Identify removed items with an inconspicuous mark indicating their original location.

• Develop a key plan when many similar items are scheduled for removal and reinstallation.

• COR shall have access to the storage site for inspections.

2.6 EXAMINATION OF THE SITE

A. All bidders are urged to be at the Ship’s walk-through with the Contracting Officer. The SHIP will be available for detailed ship checking to examine existing conditions before submitting bids. All bidders will be held to have the same knowledge concerning the SHIP and the ONBOARD conditions as if they had attended the Ships walk-through inspection and conducted a ship check of the SHIP. All bidders will be held to the assumption that they are aware of details obvious to the casual observer should they have done a conscientious walk through. This is applicable to all items of interference.

2.19 PROJECT DOCUMENTATION

Digital Images Provide progress images weekly documenting fabrication and installation including before, in-progress and completed work that document the conditions, actions and products or work completed. Take digital images documenting fabrication and installation progress and problems, such as capturing items that will not be seen later. Wherever possible include a viewable scale in standard (US English) measurement. All images will be properly exposed, with sufficient lighting and in focus in order to be effective in documenting the work. For consistency and comparison, when progress images are of the same work they should be generally photographed from the same viewpoint with same or similar equipment and settings.

The images will be photographed using a camera with a minimum of 10 megapixels or better resolution. The camera will be set to capture the maximum resolution in a RAW or TIFF image file format. Maintain an unprocessed and uncompressed copy of the RAW or TIFF image for final transfer to SAFR at project completion. Send converted JPEG copies of images along with a current copy of the Photo Log spreadsheet to the COR on a weekly basis for review.

A log will be maintained as each image is photographed that includes the image number, date and time, description (where relevant include the phase of work -- before, progress and completed. Describe the view, activity or actions being performed), CLIN#, Mod#, and photographer.

The log will be transcribed or transferred to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and include the final filename and any subfolder they are stored in for each image.

Digital image files will be named as follows:

safr_pmis255387_CLIN_Mod#_view-description_image#.ext where CLIN is the contract line item number, Mod# is any appropriate modification number, view is a brief description of the subject, image# is the sequential image number assigned by the camera or photographer and ext is the appropriate RAW, TIFF or JPEG file extension.

Maintain one set of images and image data on an accessible hard drive, usb flash drive or CD-R/DVD-R in the field office at the Project site, available at all times for reference. Maintain off-site backups of all image files and data related to the image files.

Submit to COR three (3) sets of the unprocessed RAQ or TIFF image files and corresponding JPEG copies along with all Photo Log Spreadsheets on archival quality CD-R/DVD-R at project completion. The Contractor grants, relinquishes, and transfers to the National Park Service all legal title and property rights and all rights, title, and interest in copyrights in said photographs and documentation, and more particularly, the exclusive rights of reproduction, distribution, and public display.
