About this file
This is a Photo Key document from the Texas State Preservation Board (SPB) for RFP No. 809-25-0003, detailing metal refinishing and maintenance requirements across nine state properties in Travis County, including the Texas State Capitol, Capitol Extension, Sam Houston Building, Robert E. Johnson Building, John H. Reagan Building, Capitol Visitors Center, Bullock Texas State History Museum, Texas State Cemetery, and Governor's Mansion. The document provides detailed specifications and photographs for metal refinishing work on brass handrails, bronze elevator components, and stainless steel surfaces throughout these facilities. The scope includes bi-annual cleaning and lacquering, quarterly washing and waxing, and semi-annual maintenance for various metal surfaces. For brass handrails, a specific nitrocellulose lacquer treatment is required with three layers for maximum protection, to be stripped and replaced every 2 years.
The document includes extensive photographic documentation of each location requiring service, with detailed measurements and specifications for each metal surface. For example, the Capitol rotunda brass handrails span 139 linear feet per floor across three levels, while the East and West stairways have varying lengths from 124 to 257 linear feet. The Photo Key provides condition assessments, noting that most surfaces are in "good" condition, and includes specific finish requirements such as non-directional satin finishes for brass surfaces and brushed finishes for stainless steel. Special considerations are noted for wood touch-up requirements in elevator cab interiors, which must be coordinated with the SPB project manager during each maintenance cycle.

State Preservation Board Properties Metal Refinishing and Maintenance Photo Key RFP No. 809-25-0003
State Capitol
a. Brass handrails on three (3) levels of rotunda (Takeoff (LF) : Second Floor-139', Third Floor – 139', Fourth Floor – 139'
i. Clean and lacquer - Bi-Annually
ii. Wash and wax - quarterly thereafter
Historic treatment note: A nitrocellulose lacquer should be utilized. Low VOC options are available, with equal performance. Three layers should be used, for maximum protection of these original building elements in high traffic areas.
Strip and replace every 2 years, watch and consider more frequent replacement, as this type of finish can wear quickly. Consider a sacrificial wax finish on higher-use areas, as a potential cost savings measure to allow longer periods between lacquer replacement.
Wax would be more maintainable, but is not strong enough to protect from scratches from hand rings, and would have a high maintenance cost over time.
Nitrocellulose lacquer is more durable than an acrylic lacquer, and appropriate for internal use where not exposed to UV rays.
Rails should be cleaned chemically and gently to remove lacquers and any corrosion (most found between the hand-rubbed areas and the retained lacquer finish area).
Re-finish should be as gentle as possible to restore an accurate period finish and evening out mirror finish and worn areas.
Finish should be a non-directional satin, to achieve a dull satin shine without directional brush strokes. As close as possible to the naturally hand-rubbed finish on the worn areas is the goal.
