C.0 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.1 BACKGROUND

Monocacy National Battlefield encompasses several centuries of history, which reflect events of both national and local significance. Here you can experience 1,647 acres of rolling farm fields, historic buildings, and sweeping panoramas along the scenic Monocacy River.

Located about one hour from Baltimore and Washington, DC, little has changed here since the 1864 battle. Although the landscape appears rural, the park is located less than two miles south of the city of Frederick, Maryland, which has numerous amenities.

Gambrill Mill was a three-story merchant flour mill fitted with two pairs of "burr" or flour-milling stones. The mill's inside, undershot water wheel was powered by a millrace fed by nearby Bush Creek. The creek was dammed about a mile from the mill, and a sluice gate regulated the amount of water that was allowed to flow into the millrace. Remnants of the tailrace may still be seen at the front of the building. In addition to the flour mill, the complex also included a sawmill, a chopping and plaster mill, and a one-and-one-half story miller's house, along with a variety of other support structures. In the 1920s, the top story of the mill was removed and the mill race partially filled in to convert the building into a dwelling house. Today, Gambrill Mill is used by the National Park Service for staff offices.

For more detailed and general information, visit the park’s webpage at: NPS- Monocacy National Battlefield

C.2 PURPOSE

The National Park Service (NPS) requires a masonry contractor with a minimum of 10 years of stone masonry experience to rehabilitate the existing flagstone sidewalk and setting bed, replacement of approximately 40% of existing flagstone that is broken or delaminated, relaying the sidewalk in its entirety with the existing unbroke and replacement stone in a new mortar bed with flush joints to match existing, removing flagpole, and replacing wood curbing between sidewalk and asphalt parking lot.
