PART 1 – GENERAL

ITEM 1 - DESCRIPTION OF WORK

1.1 Background: Peaceful Valley Ranch is a historic, visitor-centered cultural landscape that plays a key role in educational outreach, particularly for youth, through programs focused on wildlife and natural resource stewardship. The ranch house is listed on the National Register of Historic

Places and is the only original ranch house remaining in the South Unit of Theodore Roosevelt

National Park. The ranch house underwent significant preservation work in 2018, which included stabilization of the building envelope, structural repairs, cosmetic rehabilitation, and mechanical system upgrades. As part of that project, all painted surfaces were prepped, primed, and repainted. Since that time, the exterior coatings have begun to deteriorate. Paint is now flaking and peeling, exposing raw wood to the elements. Older layers of paint are lifting and separating from the substrate, creating pathways for moisture infiltration and potential wood rot. The 2018 project included significant site cleanup including soil replacement around the Ranch House to remove lead contamination. Full exterior lead abatement was not completed, so there continues to be lead-based paint within the historic layers of paint.

1.2 Work Covered by the Contract Documents:

A. Project Location: 3121 East River Road, Medora ND. Peaceful Valley Ranch resides inside the south unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Access is from Medora, ND, the south entrance and continues into the park approximately 10 miles on a paved road

B. Work consists of: : A comprehensive surface treatment for the preservation, maintenance, and rehabilitation of the historic Peaceful Valley Ranch House, located within Theodore Roosevelt National Park. The focus is on restoring deteriorated exterior coatings and materials to good condition while preserving the structure’s historic character. Exterior surfaces will be prepped, primed, and painted to maintain weatherproofing and encapsulate lead hazards. The Ranch House contains historic paint layers that include lead-based materials. Loose and flaking lead-based paint will be remediated, and intact layers will be encapsulated. Measures will be taken during construction to prevent contamination of the surrounding soil. The project also includes full exterior and selective interior mortar daubing replacement and repair to address deterioration in the log construction. These treatments aim to restore the protective integrity of the building envelope while maintaining its historic appearance. Additionally, bronze weather stripping will be installed on all existing operable windows and doors.

As the Ranch House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, all work shall be performed with care and sensitivity to the property’s historic nature. The Contractor shall execute the work in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings. Repairs and treatments shall also follow the guidance provided in the 2014 Peaceful Valley Ranch Historic Structures Report and the 2019 Peaceful

Valley Ranch Cultural Landscape Report, both of which are included as reference documents for this project.

1.3 DEFINITIONS

A. "Reconstruction": To reproduce in the exact form and detail a building, structure, or artifact as it appeared at a specific period in time. Reconstructed elements do not possess historic integrity in their own right since it is not original fabric.

B. "Stabilize": To apply measures designed to reestablish a weather-resistant enclosure and the structural reinforcement of an item or portion of the building while maintaining the essential form as it exists at present. This level of intervention is aimed at retarding or arresting adverse impacts to structures.

C. "Protect and Maintain": To remove deteriorating corrosion, reapply protective coatings, and install protective measures such as temporary guards; to provide the least degree of intervention.

D. "Repair": To stabilize, consolidate, or conserve; to retain existing materials and features while employing as little new material as possible. Repair includes patching, piecing-in, splicing, consolidating, or otherwise reinforcing or upgrading materials. Within restoration, repair also includes limited replacement in kind, rehabilitation, and reconstruction, with compatible substitute materials for deteriorated or missing parts of features when there are surviving prototypes.

E. "Replace": To duplicate in its entirety a historic element or feature by matching its historic pattern, detail and appearance. . Replacement is justified when original or historic elements are damaged beyond repair or are missing. Replacement methods includes the following conditions:

1. Replacement with Original or Historic Fabric: Includes fabric salvaged from other locations or projects having identical architectural qualities. It means duplication of appearance using identical material possessing historical significance.

2. Replacement with New Materials: Includes replacement with new material of like kind

(custom fabricated of manufactured) that is currently in production. It means duplication of appearance using like material.

3. Replacement with Substitute Materials: Includes replacement with a compatible substitute that is frequently contemporary and unlike the historic fabric. It means duplication of appearance using modern (non-traditional) material Use of substitute materials is not approved unless matching materials are not available.

F. Dismantle: To disassemble or detach a historic item from a surface, or a nonhistoric item from a historic surface, using gentle methods and equipment to prevent damage to historic items and surfaces; disposing of items unless indicated to be salvaged or reinstalled.

G. Existing to Remain: Existing items that are not to be removed or dismantled, except to the degree indicated for performing required Work.
