Scope of Work

Perform Conservation Treatment and Cleaning on Museum Collections in Anchorage, Alaska and Objects from the Libby’s No. 23 Bristol Bay Double-Ender Boat Exhibit in

Port Alsworth, Alaska Lake Clark National Park and Preserve

Lake and Peninsula Borough, AK

1. PURPOSE:

The National Park Service (NPS) intends to clean, stabilize and conserve objects in the museum collection housed in Anchorage, AK, and objects in the Libby’s 23 Bristol Bay double-ender boat exhibit located at the Lake Clark National Park and Preserve’s field headquarters in Port Alsworth, AK. The museum collections are nationally significant, and the boat is more than 100 years old, and on the National Register of Historic Places;

the objects on display with the boat have been donated by the local community specifically for the exhibit.

The goal of this project is to treat objects in Anchorage and Port Alsworth identified in the 2018 Collection Condition Survey (CCS) as high priority of needing conservation intervention, professionally clean all objects on exhibit in Port Alsworth, and have simple mounts designed for a few objects in Port Alsworth, as recommended in the 2018 CCS.

Conservation efforts will focus on preservation of the existing fabric and intrinsic historic value rather than restoration to a “like new” presentation.

The contractor must be a professional conservator with experience in conservation of historic objects made of wood and metal, or otherwise demonstrate knowledge and experience with these types of materials. The contractor must follow the American Institute for Conservation (AIC) of Historic and Artistic Works standards for all conservation work and its documentation.

2. GENERAL:

RESPONSIBILITY: The Contractor shall furnish all labor, management, supplies, equipment and material (other than those identified herein to be provided by the Government), all travel and transportation, including to Port Alsworth, and per diem expenses will be the responsibility of the contractor. The contractor will properly disposal of work or hazardous fluids and materials in accordance with all state and federal regulations and do all things necessary for performance of the work as set forth below. The Contractor shall provide the Government all requested reports, and supporting material developed during the period of service.

During the prosecution of the work, the Contractor shall provide adequate professional supervision and quality control to assure the accuracy, quality, completeness and progress of work and full acknowledgement to the National Park Service in any published or formally presented material developed or derived from this contract.

The Contractor shall provide the Government with written documentation of conservation treatment actions on each object with photos and descriptions, the decision process and future recommendations as well as any other supporting material. All work must be technically accurate and performed according to accepted professional guidelines and in compliance with all appropriate federal legislation, state standards/guidelines, and internal NPS policies.

3. BACKGROUND FOR CONSERVATION TREATMENT PROJECT:

Lake Clark National Park and Preserve (LACL) was established on December 2, 1980, under the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA). LACL covers more than four million acres of land, with more than 2.5 million acres as designated wilderness. The park’s spectacular scenery stretches from the shores of Cook Inlet, across the Chigmit Mountains, to the tundra-covered hills of the western interior. The Chigmits, where the Alaska and Aleutian rangers meet, include two active volcanoes. Lake Clark and many other lakes and rivers within the park and preserve are key salmon habitat for the Bristol Bay salmon fishery, one of the largest sockeye salmon fishing grounds in the world. The park also contains three designated Wild Rivers. This richly diverse region has been a homeland for Alaska Native peoples for centuries, since the end of the last ice age, with Dena’ina Athabascan sites throughout today’s park and preserve. Many Dena’ina people living near Lake Clark today have roots in Kijik, a National Historic Landmark and Archaeological District.

A majority of the objects in the museum collection are stored at the Alaska Regional Curatorial Center (ARCC) in Anchorage, AK. The collection rooms are organized, well-planned, clean, and climate controlled.

Libby’s No. 23, a Bristol Bay double-ender wooden sailboat, is one of only 10 museum quality double-enders in existence and is stationed in a building just outside of the Port Alsworth Visitor’s Center. This fully restored vessel, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, served the fishing industry in Bristol Bay from 1914 until 1951. In 1953, after the advent of power boats in the Bristol Bay salmon fishery rendered sailboats obsolete, the boat was brought up to Iliamna-Lake Clark area, still within the Bristol Bay watershed, as Lake Clark is the headwaters of the bay.

In the early 2000s, the boat was restored to appear as it did while it was using for fishing between approximately 1914-1952, and was painted its original “Libby’s orange,” a butterscotch color that was unique to the Libby’s salmon cannery, Graveyard Koggiung, in Bristol Bay where it served as a commercial fishing boat. In the mid-2000, park maintenance staff constructed a boat shed designed by an NPS Alaska regional architect to house the boat and exhibit

The boat came with several of its original parts, including the boom, mast, rudder, bilge pump, oars and oarlocks, ridge poke, bailer, belaying pins, and some floats, all of which are on display in the exhibit in Port Alsworth. Over the years, Bristol Bay residents have donated a variety of other objects that would have been on board a Bristol Bay double-ender during the fishing season. These items include thigs like a gill net, a roller, centerboard lever, fish peugh, gaff hook, leather Finn boots, Swede stove, Santa Maria stove, etc. The impression one receives when seeing the boat for the first time is that the boat is ready for the commercial fishing season to begin.

In 2018, a Collection Condition Survey (CCS) was undertaken on the wooden objects in the museum collection stored at the ARCC in Anchorage and the objects in the double-ender exhibit in Port Alsworth, and recommendations for treatment were made. While a majority of the objects stored in Anchorage and on exhibit in Port Alsworth were in stable condition, several were identified as “Conservation Priority 1” and “Conservation Priority 2” needing immediate or very soon conservation treatment or intervention. These objects were identified as unstable, damaged, and actively deteriorating while in storage and on display. The CCS recommended immediate treatment of these high-priority conservation needs. The conservation work on these objects performed in this project will follow the treatment plan recommended by this recent assessment.

Additionally, the objects on exhibit in Port Alsworth are considered to be in a high-risk environment due to the nature of the “open-air” exhibit space with skylights as a roof.

They are exposed to very high levels of ultraviolet radiation, insect and pest infestations, excessive dust and dirt accumulation, potential theft or damage from human contact, improper mounts/display, and constant exposure to fluctuating temperature and relative humidity. Along with recommending conservation treatment for at-risk objects, the CCS also recommended thoroughly cleaning all 87 objects on display in Port Alsworth in a way that does not harm the objects, as well as the design of simple mounts for objects that are stored directly on the floor.

Following conservation treatment and cleaning of the objects on display in the Double-ender, the park intends to implement a preventative conservation program which includes a plan for routine housekeeping, artifact dusting, IPM, and other practices.

The LACL museum collections are located in Anchorage, AK. The Double-ender and objects displayed within are located in Port Alsworth, Alaska. Port Alsworth is a remote town accessible only by small aircraft.

4. DESCRIPTION OF TASKS:

The services shall include the conservation of several objects in the museum collection in Anchorage, AK and on exhibit in Port Alsworth, AK, , identified as needing immediate conservation set forth in the 2018 Collection Condition Survey, as well as the professional cleaning of all the objects on exhibit as well as designing simple mounts for objects in need in Port Alsworth. All actions taken to conserve the objects will be documented through text and photographs in a final report. The final report will also include specific recommendations for any needed mounts/displays not able to be undertaken during the site visit.

Task A—Start-Up Meeting

Pre-fieldwork, the contractor will attend a start-up meeting with the park curatorial staff, and any other designated park staff (interpretation, rangers, and other cultural resources staff) to discuss project logistics, site safety, schedule, and any other issues relevant to the successful execution of this scope of work. The meeting must be attended by the contractor’s principal investigator. Participation will be by teleconference.

Task B—Written Plan of Action Pre-fieldwork, the contractor will provide a written plan of action in accordance with the 2018 CCS report (Attachment A). Plan of action will include work to be performed on-site, materials, cleaning and conservation techniques, time estimate, and schedule of work. Lake Clark National Park will approve this plan prior to the performance of any treatments.

Task B—Conservation/Cleaning of Selected Items On-Site and Design of Simple Mounts Contractor will perform work on-site in both Anchorage, AK and Port Alsworth, AK to conserve/clean the objects and design any simple mounts for objects in Port Alsworth, AK that are identified in the planning stage, according to the approved plan of action (Task A). Approved mounts will be built by LACL staff in Port Alsworth, and not the contractor. Conservator will perform basic surface cleaning of 87 objects on display in Port Alsworth and/or identify objects that may require further cleaning by museum curator. Conservator will perform conservation treatment of at least 10 objects identified as “Conservation Priority 1” or “Conservation Priority 2” in the 2018 CCS (Appendix A), in accordance with the approved plan of action.

Task C—Conservation Treatment Report Contractor will write a final report to include:

• All conservation actions performed, including treatment date, procedures used that deviated from proposal, added materials and removed materials.

• Dated graphic documentation. Photographs should demonstrate any changes to the appearance of the objects before and after treatment.

• Recommendations, for any mounts not undertaken during the site visit.

INTRODUCTION AND BRIEF BACKGROUND

Aniakchak National Monument and Preserve is a U.S. National Monument and National Preserve, consisting of the region around the Aniakchak volcano on the Aleutian Range of south-western Alaska. The 601,294-acre (243,335 ha) monument is one of the least-visited places in the National Park System due to its remote location and difficult weather. The area was proclaimed a National Monument on December 1, 1978, and established as a National Monument and Preserve on December 2, 1980. Historically, this area formed the boundary between Aleut (Unangan) and Alutiiq (Sugpiaq) people. Aniakchak's geology and natural history tell a story of catastrophic change and the resilience of life.
