SCOPE OF WORK

REPLACEMENT OF WALLPAPER AT

THE WILLIAM FLOYD ESTATE, FIRE ISLAND NATIONAL SEASHORE

PMIS 235873

245 Park Dr.

Mastic Beach, NY 11951

Background

Excerpt from 2021 HSR: Old Mastic House is the principal historic structure at the William Floyd

Estate and was the home of General William Floyd. The William Floyd Estate derives significance under Criterion B for its association with General William Floyd, signer of the Declaration of

Independence and Criterion C, architecture, for the buildings, and for its pattern of land use. The

National Register lists the period of significance broadly as 1700-1900 with the following areas of significance: agriculture, architecture, military, politics and archeology. In addition to being the birthplace of William Floyd, the William Floyd Estate also derives significance under Criterion A, representing a broad pattern of America’s history, as a prime example of private land-use management by a single family, from working plantation to hunting area. Old Mastic House was listed on the

National Register of Historic Places in 1980 and determined to be nationally significant under Criterion

C, as an example of Georgian and Greek Revival style architecture. Old Mastic was built in several stages over 240 years and is a mixture of architectural styles, from Georgian to Colonial Revival. The two-story main block was enlarged several times since its initial construction in 1724. Each generation altered the original structure according to the needs of the family.

The original wallpapers in the Dining Room (approximately 576 square feet) and in the Gun Room

(approximately 416 square feet) are in poor condition. Both papers have been partially removed and otherwise disrupted to allow for access to the historic walls and plaster. The rooms have both been exposed to widely fluctuating humidity levels and general wear. For this reason, the park seeks to acquire reproduction wallpaper that will be used in the conservation treatment of the areas of historic interior.

Replacing the damaged wallpaper with appropriate reproduction wallpaper is essential to maintaining the historic fabric aesthetic design of the home. The government shall arrange conservation and wallpaper installation.

2. Upon approval by NPS of Deliverable Two (20%) payment

3. Upon approval by NPS of Deliverable Three (60%) payment

Objectives

The goal of this project is to acquire historically accurate reproduction printed wallpapers for installation in the Dining Room and the Gun Room of the William Floyd House on Fire Island National Seashore.

The pattern of the wallpaper must be a historically accurate reproduction of the printed wallpaper on site.

The wallpaper will be installed in a room open t the public for tours and interpretation from May through

October annually. This room is part of a furnished historic house museum. The wallpaper will substantially enhance visitor experience.

Tasks

1. Once the Contractor has access to samples of the original wallpaper for the purpose of drafting the patterns and selecting colorways, the Contractor shall verify the amount of wallpaper to be provided for the Dining Room and Gun Room.

2. Contractor shall submit a detailed plan of work, to include equipment, materials, and methods.

3. Draft patterns for the printed paper to include the complete pattern with original width and repeat length and identify original colorways with accuracy.

4. Test patterns and create test prints of all three wallpapers for approval by Fire Island National

Seashore Cultural Resources Program Manager and Project POC.

5. Use distemper paint in historically accurate colorways with a modern binder to make the final wallpaper surface less susceptible to moisture.

6. Print paper on an acid-free paper stock of at least 75% cotton fiber that shall closely match the appearance, texture, and weight of the original wallpaper.

7. Complete and deliver finished rolls of historically accurate printed reproduction wallpapers.

Delivery

The Contractor must deliver enough paper to cover the areas of damaged wallpaper of the Dining Room and Gun Room of the William Floyd House, plus an additional 10% for Fire Island National Seashore to keep on hand.

Should printing hardware (blocks, silkscreens) be produced by the manufacturer, they will remain the property of the Contractor.

The wallpaper rolls shall be delivered by January 15, 2022. Delivery must be made at a mutually agreed upon time on or before January 15, 2022.

Government-Furnished Property

The park will provide access to original archival wallpapers from the Dining Room and Gun Room of the

William Floyd House for the purpose of pattern drafting and color selection. The Contractor shall be responsible for the preservation and care, including fine arts insurance, for the limited duration of the study.

Place of Performance

The project shall be accomplished at the Contractor’s facility.

Evaluation Methodology

The Government anticipates awarding a firm-fixed price contract to the responsible offeror whose quote conforms to the solicitation and represents the best value to the Government based upon an integrated assessment of the evaluation factors listed below. The Government will consider: Technical Capability, Personnel, Past Performance, and Price. The factors listed below are in descending order of importance.

When combined, all other evaluation factors are significantly more important than price. However, price will contribute substantially to the selection decision. The evaluated price will not be rated or scored but will be a consideration for reasonableness in the final source selection decision. The government reserves the right to award this action to other than the lowest priced offer.

1. Factor 1- Technical Capability (limited to 2 pages)

Offeror shall submit at minimum one (1) and maximum three (3) photographed samples from past projects within the last five (5) years and a written description that demonstrates they have the required technical knowledge and necessary equipment to successfully complete this project. Said description shall specify what techniques, equipment, and labor will be employed to complete this project as well as methods to protect and meet preservation concerns of the original wallpapers while in the offeror’s possession.

2. Factor 2- Personnel (limited to 2 pages per resume)

Offeror shall demonstrate skills and training of personnel involved in this project, showing minimum required skills are met.

3. Factor 3- Past Performance (limited to 4 pages)

a. An evaluation of offeror’s past performance information will be conducted subsequent to the technical evaluation. The offeror must have demonstrated successful completion of projects similar in quality, technique, and complexity. Preference will be given to quotes that demonstrate past performance of similar projects related to wallpaper reproduction services of similar historic significance.

b. The evaluation will be based on information obtained from the written proposal, photographs, other relevant past performance information obtained from sources known to the

Government, and any other information supplied by the offeror, to include problems encountered on the identified contracts and corrective action taken.

c. The Government will assess the relative risks associated with each offeror. Performance risks are those associated with an offeror’s likelihood of success in performing the acquisition requirements as indicated by that offeror’s record of past performance.

d. The assessment of performance risk is not intended to be the product of a mechanical or mathematical analysis of an offeror’s performance on a list of contracts, but rather the product of subjective judgement by the Government after it considers all available and relevant information.

e. When assessing performance risks, the Government will focus on the past performance of the offeror as it relates to all acquisition requirements, such as: 1) the offeror’s record of performing according to specifications, including standards of good workmanship; 2) the offeror’s record of controlling and forecasting costs; 3) the offeror’s adherence to contract schedules including the administrative aspects of performance; 4) the offeror’s reputation for reasonable and cooperative behavior and commitment to customer satisfaction; and 5) the offeror’s business-like concern for the interest of the customer.

f. The Government will consider the currency and relevance of the information, sources of the information, context of the data and general trends in the offeror’s performance. The lack of a relevant performance record may result in an unknown performance risk assessment, which will neither be used to the advantage nor disadvantage of the offeror.

Note: Contractors submitting offers without past performance will receive a neutral rating.

g. Offerors shall provide three (3) projects completed in the past ten (10) years with a similar scope. Describe any previous experience in acquiring and delivering product of this kind, including the scope and complexity of the project. Contractor shall also submit detailed samples from previous contracts, specify techniques utilized to complete the work (machine

vs. handmade etc.), and photographic samples of any proposed materials not supplied by the government.

Note: Listing completed projects does not address this criterion. A narrative that articulates past experience and description of successful completion of deliveries should be discussed.

Price

a. Offeror’s price quote will not be point scored or adjectively scored but will be evaluated on price reasonableness and realism. The price quote will also be used as an aid to determine that the

Offeror understands the requirements of the solicitation, price reasonableness and to assess the validity of the offeror’s approach to managing and performing the work.

b. The offeror shall submit a price quote separate from all other volumes; any pricing information found in the technical or past performance volumes will be removed prior to evaluation.

c. The Government will evaluate the price quote for reasonableness. The Government will also evaluate price with regards to the ability of the offeror to meet requirements in terms of skills required, complexity of disciplines and job difficulty, if the Government deems such analysis necessary.
