SECTION C – SPECIFICATIONS

C.0 BACKGROUND

C.0.1 NATIONAL PARK SERVICE

The National Park Service (NPS) is a bureau of the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) that has been entrusted with the care of our national parks since 1916. The NPS preserves unimpaired natural and cultural resources, and values of the National Park System for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations. The NPS cooperates with partners to extend the benefits of natural and cultural resource conservation and outdoor recreation throughout this country and the world.

The NPS - National Capital Area (NCA) supports natural wonders to man-made marvels in Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. The NCA parks include: Antietam National Battlefield, Catoctin Mountain Park, Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historical Park, George Washington Memorial Parkway, Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, Manassas National Battlefield Park, Monocacy National Battlefield, National Capital Parks - East, National Mall and Memorial Parks, Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail, President’s Park, Prince William Forest Park, Rock Creek Park, and Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts.

C.0.2 BACKGROUND

Preserving America's early transportation history, the C&O Canal began as a 184.5-mile dream of passage to Western wealth. Operating for nearly 100 years the canal was a lifeline for communities along the Potomac River as coal, lumber, and agricultural products floated down the waterway to market. Today it endures as a pathway for discovering historical, natural, and recreational treasures.

The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park preserves the rich history of the canal. Within the canal, there are many classified structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Four of these structures are in need of new wood shingle roofs: Lockhouses 28, 31, 49 and Dam 4 Winch House. For more detailed and general information checkout the website at: Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historical Park (U.S. National Park Service) (nps.gov)

C.1 PURPOSE

The DOI – NPS - NCA – has a requirement to replace the roofs at Lockhouses 28, 31, 49 and Dam 4 Winch House.

Replacement of the roofing materials will address the deferred maintenance backlog, re-establish the life cycle of the roofing components, protect the investment that the National Park Service and our partner organization the Canal Trust, has made to these structures, and continue to provide the opportunity for visitors to enjoy and stay in an historic lockhouse.

C.2 SCOPE OF WORK

The contractor shall provide for all labor, materials, supplies, equipment, transportation, supervision, ancillary services, and all other necessary items to complete this project, performing all work in complete compliance with this Scope of Work, and any plans, drawings, and specifications issued or directed through this solicitation and award in order to ensure quality workmanship. At a minimum, the supplies and materials shall be of a quality to conform to all specifications.
