PART 1
GENERAL
| 1.1. | Introduction: Arlington National Cemetery is our nation's most sacred shrine and the final resting place for our most revered military and civilian leaders. ANC receives millions of visitors each year - including visits from the President of the United States of America, other heads of state, family members of the deceased, and millions of tourists from around the world. Six thousand or more funerals are conducted yearly – in addition to over 2,000 other ceremonies, such as commemorations, wreath ceremonies, and head-of-state visits. These ceremonies and funerals often receive the intense focus of the press and other media. Due to the significance and attention received, strict adherence to the project specifications is essential. The successful contractor forms a true partnership with the Federal Government to ensure those who served our nation are properly honored. |
| 1.2. | Description of Services: The contractor shall provide all management, labor, materials, supervision, and equipment necessary to deconstruct and re-construct approximately 550 linear feet of the Stone Boundary Wall at Section 17, and 18. The contractor shall conduct a site visit, prior to award to verify measurements. Following award, but prior to any construction activity, the Contractor shall also provide a technical sheet and provide an engineered design for the wall reconstruction using proven historical methods for ANC’s review and approval before NTP. For exact work locations, please see Wall Survey Drawings (Technical Exhibits C, D & E). |

Any and all foundation stones will be extracted, salvaged, and reused as fill or for general wall construction as needed. The Contractor shall carefully remove all bonded / attached mortar from wall stones and capstones. If required, the Contractor shall identify an appropriate substitute capstone material where existing capstones are currently damaged beyond utility preventing reuse.

5.1.11. Excavate and Install a Continuous Concrete Footing with Reinforcement: Upon complete disassembly of the existing Stone Wall and associated footing, the contractor shall excavate a trench and fully compact the base (to 95%) in preparation for the placement of formwork required to place a continuous steel-reinforced concrete footing. Footer dimensions and footer reinforcement layout shall be per the Engineer’s Design documents. Footer configurations are to plan for the change in grade along the length of the stone wall to be deconstructed and rebuilt. Epoxy coated rebar will be fitted and placed in the trench as prescribed by the engineer’s design. This will include axial and intermittent cross axial rebar along the full length of the footing.

The stonework of the wall pilasters will be reconstructed using the same stones as salvaged and documented for those features. The stonework of the wall section panels between each pier will be re-laid with the same random pattern and joint size and character to match the historic wall samples and outlined in the Spewick Report (SPC Project Test Panel Program, 2015). Pilasters shall be reconstructed in the same position as existing, using the same pilaster-to-pilaster offset as existing. Stonework tie-in to adjacent, non-repaired wall sections shall result in a finished appearance that to the greatest extent possible eliminates any visually identifiable transition from newly constructed and / or re-constructed sections with existing portions of the historic stone wall. Anomalies in the stonework of obvious later repairs will be removed and replaced following the historic characteristics of the wall.
5.1.13. Mortar: The contractor shall use the previously approved mortar by the COR. A 3/8” rope (beaded) profile will be applied to the stonework throughout the wall section.

New joint flashing pieces shall be made to match the existing in size and material and composition. Joints between capstones shall remain open and un-mortared. Flashing shall extend 2” laterally under each capstone and shall extend 1” beyond finished face of the Stone Wall at each side Wall. Drainage “channel” at the flashing shall be rounded in profile, approximately 1/2” to 5/8” across and 1/2” in depth (conceptual cross section shown in Part 8, Technical Exhibit B). Contractor shall provide replacement capstones of a matching material and dimensional profile for locations at which re-use of existing capstones is not feasible due to condition.
5.1.15. Stone and Mortar Cleaning: Stones placed during wall reconstruction which were previously located below grade, or subject to atypical conditions may be discolored, or have a non-conforming surface appearance.
