SCAFFOLDING RENTAL “SUBJECT TO AVAILABILTY OF FUNDS” The Historic Preservation Training Center (HPTC) Masonry Section of the National Park Service are soliciting estimates for the design and construction of a scaffold system which allows full access to the approximately 100 ft tall/6800 SF stone obelisk allowing HPTC day labor services to execute masonry repairs safely and efficiently.

PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE

To be Determined

TYPE OF CONTRACT

The government intends to issue a Firm Fixed Price Contract.

DESCRIPTIONS/SPECIFICAITONS/WORK STATEMENT

1. BACKGROUND

The Chalmette Monument was constructed between 1855 and 1908 to commemorate the Battle of New Orleans, which was fought on January 8th, 1815, between the British Army and the United States Army.

The monument is constructed of Tuckahoe and Georgia marble and measures approximately 100’ tall, 16’ 8” square at the base and 14’ square at the top. It is situated on a marble stepped base that measures 40’ square and 8’ high. An iron spiral staircase is located inside the shaft that leads to an observation platform at the top of the tower where three narrow windows are located at each elevation. Multiple brass elements exist throughout the monument: the entrance door and jambs, window grilles and screens, the stair handrail and nine commemorative plaques that dot the circumference of the grass lawn. The monument is a contributing structure in the Chalmette Unit of Jean Lafitte National Historic Landmark District.

A recent site visit revealed extensive atmospheric and bio-growth staining on the exterior stone as well as vegetation growth in the mortar joints. Many stone joints have loose, or missing mortar and several stones have begun to spall. Multiple bronze windows in the tower have missing components and plaques are in need of refinishing. The lightning protection system mounted on the roof is missing a number of original air terminals.

The HPTC Masonry Section (National Park Service) is soliciting estimates for the design and construction of a scaffold system which allows full access to the 100’ tall/6800 SF stone obelisk allowing HPTC day labor services to execute masonry repairs safely and efficiently.

The anticipated duration of the masonry stabilization is approximately three months of which the scaffold will need to be fully accessible. Mobilization and demobilization by scaffold Contractor shall need to be done outside that window.

Jean Lafitte National Historical Park will have ultimate approval of construction timeline as it will affect their operations and facilities directly.
