ITEM 1 - DESCRIPTION OF WORK

1.1 Background: All buildings that work will be performed on are found within the Bathhouse Row at the Hot Springs National Park in Hot Springs, Arkansas.

The Administrative Building (the park’s former visitor center) is the first building from the south on Bathhouse Row and faces west toward Central Avenue. The building is L-shape in plan, although the façade is symmetrical. The Administration Building (Bldg. 1) is a two-story building, with basement, of about 7,960 gross square feet and was constructed in 1935. Its architectural style is Spanish Revival, whose receding windows suggest the nascent Art Deco movement. The building’s exterior consists of a masonry stucco surface. Exterior paintable surface area is approximately 6,700 square feet. The Spanish Revival architectural style provides significant elements of decorative wood including decorative rafters, wood frame French doors on the upper floor, and wood frame windows throughout. Short balconies accentuate the French door openings on three sides of the building. The slightly "L" shaped building has a red mission tile roof with a built-in gutter system. There are ten French doors with balconies, 17 wood frame windows, and three exterior wood doors. The 17 wood-framed windows are of various sizes and are of casement in style.

The Men’s and Women’s Comfort Stations were built in 1923 and are set back and between the Quapaw and the Ozark Bathhouses. They are rectangular in plan with arched, centered entrances with white stucco walls and red-tiled roofing. Each building is approximately 271 gross square feet.

The Fordyce Bathhouse (the park’s newest Visitor Center location) was built in 1915 and is a complex combination of concrete walls and cement block and tile. The outer shell consists of a combination of glazed brick, plain brick with geometric designs utilizing different colors of brick, and extensive use of Terra Cotta in elaborate window and door ornamentation. On the east side of the building, there are several hundred square feet of stucco and the West exterior first floor area consists almost entirely of Terra Cotta Tile. The building has a tile mansard roof with ornamental soffit on all sides extending four feet with parapet walls rising another three feet. On this are mounted iron tails with light globes mounted inline and on terminal posts. The roof was originally designed as a sunbathing area for clients. There are over 110 wood framed windows of various sizes and type, both casement and sash.

The Maurice Bathhouse (Bldg. 106) was built in 1911~1912 and is of the Italian renaissance revival with a prominent, “hipped” roof and a symmetrical façade with a sunporch, stained glass skylights and windows, and stucco exterior walls. The building’s exterior is masonry stucco construction that consists of a distinctive, hand-thrown stucco finish on the front elevation with wood frame windows and doors, and aluminum frame decorative storefront-style window units on the front porch. The building is three story’s tall, with basement, with a gross square footage of approximately 23,675 feet. Exterior paintable surface area exceeds 15,700 square feet. There are 204 wood framed windows primarily casement type. The Maurice Bathhouse is a National Historic Landmark and is one of the significant cultural resources of Hot Springs National Park on Bathhouse Row.

HOSP – 175036, 206379, 225336 01 10 00 - 2

Bathhouse Row and its environs were nominated as a Historic District in 1973. Bathhouse Row was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 13, 1974 and included the Administration Building, Comfort Stations, Maurice Bathhouse, and the Fordyce as contributing structures. The Bathhouse Row Historic District received designation as a National Historic Landmark on May 28, 1987.

The National Park Service intends to contract for the painting of the exterior of the Administration Building and two Comfort Stations, the Maurice Bathhouse, and the Fordyce Visitor Center all of which are in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Generally, the work to be performed is for the rehabilitation of the exterior of each of the buildings to include windows, doors, and exterior walls and the painting of each building’s exterior. New paint colors shall match all existing paint colors. Additionally, the Fordyce building will require tuckpointing work of approximately 12,000 square feet. A six-inch downspout that is causing the water issue on the Fordyce exterior will also need to be extended in order to correct a water issue. All the buildings for this project are listed as historic structures, so the Contractor must take care not to disturb or change important resources that may be located within the project area. The buildings will be inhabited by park staff and/or visitors for the duration of the project. The work schedule must reflect the need to accommodate the Park Service employees working in the space and the visitors which patronize the building.

4. Maurice Bathhouse (Bldg 106); 359 Central Avenue, Hot Springs, AR 71901

B. Work consists of: The Contractor shall field verify all square footages and all measurements related to the project prior to work, and the Contractor will provide all labor, qualified supervision, products, equipment, materials, tools, supplies, incidentals, and other services and expertise necessary, to:

1. Paint the exterior of the historic Administration Building and Comfort Stations located in the historic district on Bathhouse Row. New paint is to match the existing paint for all surfaces. The building exterior is masonry stucco work with wood frame windows and doors and this work includes the basement stairwell walls and parapet wall next to ramp. Painting requires the use of scaffold in places and the use of an aerial lift to reach certain areas of the buildings. Total exterior paintable surface area for the Administration Building is approximately 6,700 square feet. There is 850 square feet of paintable, exterior surface for each comfort station. There is a men’s comfort station and a women’s comfort station.

Work will also consist of surface preparation to include the initial, low-pressure washing and cleaning of all exterior surfaces, patching cracks in masonry, stucco, and all wood and masonry joints. All stucco repairs are to match the existing surface and/or structure.

2. Administration Building - Minor repairs on wood elements are to include wood-framed windows, soffit, fascia, exposed wood rafter tails, entrance doors, and French doors. Spot priming, patching and repairs and application of finish coats of paint. There are 17 wood

HOSP – 175036, 206379, 225336 01 10 00 - 3

framed casement windows, 10 French doors, 3 exterior wood doors and 1 metal exterior door. Repairs of 700 linear feet with new glazing on windows and French doors. Apply 700 linear feet of new caulking throughout the exterior of the building. Painting requires the use of scaffold in places and the use of an aerial lift to reach certain areas of the building that are 20 feet to 40 feet in height.

There is approximately 650 square feet of stucco on the east side, first story that will be painted. Prior to painting windows and tuck-pointing the metal screens, the plexiglass and awnings will have to be removed. Windows will be painted to match the existing paint. Paint, stucco, and tuck-pointing work requires the use of scaffold in places and the use of an aerial lift to reach certain areas of the 3-story building. Do not paint over any powder coated surfaces, to include the powder coated handrails.

Work consists of surface preparation to include the initial, low pressure washing and cleaning of all exterior surfaces. Work will also consist of patching cracks in masonry, stucco, and all wood and masonry joints. All stucco repairs are to match existing surface and/or structure. A six-inch, galvanized downspout on the southwest side will need to be extended by at least 4 inches in order to divert the water that is pooling and causing the issue. Exterior brick, of approximately 12,000 square feet, will be tuck-pointed.

Tuckpointing will include the limestone windowsills around the building. In the courtyard area, tuckpoint up to or around the metal vents and downspouts. For the front of the Fordyce, tuckpoint up to and around the supports/bracing for the marquee. No tuckpointing will take place for the white, glazed brick. Removal of old joint mortar should be carefully executed to prevent damage to surrounding masonry. Replacement mortar shall match the color and texture of existing, and joints shall be struck to match existing. Refer to Preservation Brief #2 for repointing methods and materials at:

https://www.nps.gov/tps/how-to-preserve/briefs/2-repoint-mortar-joints.htm
