Existing surfaces and coatings exhibit flaking, cracking, bubbling, missing layers of paint from many years of neglect that must be prepared and treated to achieve a satisfactory finish.

Coatings may include primers, lead control primers, oil base and latex paints, solid coat and semi-transparent stains, polyurethanes, and lacquers. Prior to painting, it may be necessary to repair some surfaces to an acceptable condition.

B. Park Description and Location: Fort Vancouver National Historic Site is a unit of the Na-tional Park Service located in Vancouver, WA.

C. Base items: This project includes preparation and painting exterior and associated fea-tures of one (1) building as a base item. See Attachment 2 for descriptions and pictures.

D. Optional items (should funds become available): Perform additional preparation and painting exterior and associated features on optional items/buildings. See Attachment 2 for descriptions and pictures of optional structures.

E. The buildings included in this contract are historic and may contain hazardous materials.

It is highly likely that exterior surfaces contain lead-based paint and should be treated ac-cordingly; refer to Sections 028313.00 20 and 099113, Lead in Construction and Paint-ing.

F. There may be asbestos-containing materials (ACM). NPS will provide lab analysis re-sults for window glazing putty prior to the proposal due date. Removal of any damaged siding or deteriorated/loose glazing putty shall be treated carefully and in accordance with results.

G. Work hours are between 7:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday and no work may occur on Federal Holidays. Any changes to these days and timeframes must be pre-approved by the COR.

CONTRACT LINE ITEMS A through D (options) - Prepare and paint exterior surfaces and associated features of historic buildings shown below.

Option A Building 752 Option B Building 748 Option C Building 746 Option D Building 725

A. All items consist of preparing and painting the exposed previously-painted exterior fea-tures of the historic building, including but not limited to doors and windows, trim and molding, siding/walls, fascia, overhangs, rafters and rafter tails, porch and deck vertical and horizontal surfaces, railings, stucco surfaces, foundation cover/skirting, metal work, gutters, downspouts, and stairs.

B. Paint preparation or removal notes: Contractor will propose paint treatment and removal method(s) that will meet all requirements and minimize damage to the original historic fabric and create sound substrates.

C. Repair Notes: If any portion of the siding has severely deteriorated to the condition that it cannot be nailed, puttied, repaired with epoxy or other such industry standard repairs to bring into a sound condition for painting and must be replaced, the Contractor shall notify the CO immediately. The CO and contractor shall perform an inspection together to de-termine the extent of the deterioration for repair work. A primary goal of historic preser-vation is to retain as much original historic fabric as possible so that repairing rather than replacing is the preferred option. The repair shall match the historic fabrics and styles and be done to the CO’s satisfaction. Include in cost of line item an assumed average of 2%

The Contracting Officer or an authorized representative will assign an area for interim storage of waste-containing drums. Do not store hazardous waste drums in interim storage longer than 90 cal-endar days from the date affixed to each drum.

e. Handle, store, transport, and dispose lead or lead-contaminated waste in accordance with 40 CFR 260, 40 CFR 261, 40 CFR 262, 40 CFR 263, 40 CFR 264, and 40 CFR 265. Comply with land disposal restriction notification requirements as required by 40 CFR 268.

Submit one copy of the completed hazardous waste manifest, signed and dated by the initial transporter in accordance with 40 CFR 262. Contractor shall provide a certificate that the waste was accept-ed by the disposal facility.

3.5.2.2 Payment for Hazardous Waste

Payment for disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous waste will not be made until a signed copy of the manifest from the treatment or disposal facility certifying the amount of lead-containing
