Repair and Repoint Stone Walls at River Battery (Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Walls)

DATED:

September 29th, 2023

NATIONAL PARK SERVICE

Interior Region 2 South Atlantic Gulf

STATEMENT OF WORK

Repair and Repoint Stone Walls at River Battery Fort Donelson National Battlefield

I. GENERAL. The National Park Service, Fort Donelson National Battlefield, has a need for Repair and Repoint Stone Walls at River Battery in Dover, Tennessee, The historic stone walls of the River Battery Loop encompass the Loop Road and parking area at Fort Donelson. The two stone walls were built during the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), are significant historical resources on the cultural landscape. The loop area is on the tour route, and the most visited location of the national park.

Repointing of mortar joints has been undertaken at several times, with various types of mortar mixes used. Of the 3330 sq. ft total of wall located at the River Battery around 90% will require joint repointing. Also, there are around 120 limestone blocks that are spalling due to freeze/thaw induced weathering and require either conservation or replacement in kind. Of the 120 historic stones that are fractured around 40 are possibly beyond conservation pointing and will require replacement in kind. Finally, weep holes through the retaining wall portions must be cleared and stabilized to ensure functionality.

II. REQUIREMENTS. Contractor shall provide all labor, tools, equipment, materials, and supervision required to accomplish this Statement of Work. The contractor shall follow all the Park’s policies, procedures and guidance with regard to performing work activities on federal lands. The contractor shall exercise management and operational control over and retain full responsibility for performance requirements as set forth in this SOW. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

Visitors are the park’s primary customers. While the River Battery Loop will be open to visitors during the period when this work occurs, occasional contact with visitors by the contractor is possible. As all resources and operations of the NPS are ultimately paid for by the U.S taxpayer, any visitors that the contractor comes into contact with while accomplishing this work should be considered a customer and be accorded all reasonable courtesy.

This area is currently in operation and all work shall be done in a way that allows for this continued operation. Safe visitor and/or employee access to the area must be maintained at all times.

This is the most visited location of the park and when planning safety, methods that need to be taken to protect workers/work site from visitor vehicles.

All demolition materials shall be properly disposed of in an approved landfill off NPS property. No demolition or construction materials can be disposed of on NPS property, nor can they be disposed of in NPS dumpsters or trash receptacles. Items suitable for recycling will be delivered to an appropriate facility.

Protect exterior landscaping, building walls/foundations, paved walkways, and parking surfaces, from trampling and impact damage while the work is being executed.

All prospective Bidders, and their Subs, as appropriate are strongly encouraged to visit and examine the existing conditions of the Project prior to submission of Bid in order to better understand the Work and aid in forming any questions prior to the submission of Bid. Lack of knowledge of the existing conditions will not be allowed as a basis for extra compensation. Offerors are encouraged to incorporate process improvements and industry best practices in their proposals.

Quality Assurance: The services to be performed by the contractor shall be supervised by the Contracting Officer or his/her authorized representative. Inspection by the COR will be made daily or more frequently. Contractor shall maintain a qualified crew throughout the duration of the work and ensure quality control. Only qualified journeypersons as defined by local jurisdiction shall be engaged in stone work. Apprentices may be employed provided they work under the direct supervision of a qualified journey person in accordance with trade regulations.

During work stoppages (including overnights) and at completion of the project, clean work areas and properly dispose of all waste materials, debris, and supplies and store or remove equipment. Do not leave materials where employees or visitors could access when contractors’ employees are absent from work area.

CLIN 0010 – Contractor shall install a moisture barrier such as Bituthene 3000 Flexible Waterproof Membrane by Grace (or COR Approved Equal) with drainage mat and rigid fiberboard to provide protection from penetration, per manufacturer's recommendation, on below grade portion of retaining wall.

While work is being performed along the back side of this wall archeological monitoring will be conducted. Which the NPS will coordinate with contractor when the schedule has been received

CLIN 0020 – Contractor shall determine which limestones are the most severely fractured and mark them for removal and replacement (with COR Approval).

Prior to repointing the stone walls determine which limestones are the most severely fractured and mark them for removal and replacement with COR Approval. Limestone’s that are severely fractured will be replaced with stones that will emulate the original historic fabric and the proportion of the stone removed.

Wall Materials – Method for In-Kind Replacement and Mortar Matching The scope of services includes identifying an in-kind source of replacement limestone material. Replacement limestone will match the color, texture and properties of the original material and will be available in sizes to match the original sizes of removed masonry units. Finishing of exposes surfaces of replacement masonry units will mimic the rockface tooling of the original units. https://quarriesandbeyond.org/states/ky/ky-photos2.html The scope of services includes mortar analysis performed by the National Center for Preservation Technology and Training (NCPTT) to develop a compatible mortar mix for repointing and setting mortar. Goals for the mortar analysis are to establish the Sand: Cement: Lime ratio based on the historic mortar AND to recover a cleaned sand sample that will be the basis for the sand incorporated into the new mortar. Sand is the primary component of any mortar and has the greatest impact on the final visual appearance of the repointed joints. Therefore, color control of the sand is critical to the success of the repointing campaign.

Stone Evaluation and Treatment - Severely fractured masonry units will be replaced. Prior to repointing the stone walls, determine which limestone masonry units are the most severely fractured, possibly up to 40, marking them for replacement in kind, matching the original historic fabric and the proportions of the stone removed. Masonry units proposed for replacement will be marked with a China Red wax pencil to allow the NPS Contracting Officer Representative to backcheck and confirm the scope of proposed replacement CLIN 0030 – Contractor shall remove old cement that had been used for re-pointing which does not match original mortar and replace it with a lime and sand mortar.

Remove all deteriorated mortar and replace missing mortar to maintain the structural properties, and historic fabric, improve the appearance, and form weather tight joints. Due to the stone walls being original from the 1930s Civilian Conservation Corps time period it is recommended that hand tools be used in the removal of deteriorated mortar, so as not to damage the masonry units surrounding the mortar. Contractor will be responsible for removing all debris from the site and park.

Mortar Evaluation and Treatment - Examine all mortar joints on both historic stone walls to determine which specific areas of joints require repointing. Mortar joints that are cracked, deteriorated, eroded, contain voids, or are poorly bonded to masonry should be repointed. All historic repointing projects should conform to ASTM Standard Guide for Repointing Historic Masonry, E2260- 03. Deteriorated mortar joints will be marked with a China Red wax pencil to allow the NPS Contracting Officer Representative to backcheck and confirm the scope of proposed repointing.

Remove all deteriorated mortar and replace missing mortar to maintain the structural properties, and historic fabric, improve the appearance, and form weathertight joints. Due to the stone walls being original from the 1930s Civilian Conservation Corps time period it is recommended that hand tools be used in the removal of deteriorated mortar, so as not to damage the masonry units surrounding the mortar. Contractor will be allowed to use power tools to remove masonry units scheduled for replacement. Contractor will be responsible for removing all debris from the site and park.

Wall Specs:

The exterior loop road wall, roadway side, is 255 feet long x 3 ft. high, for a total square footage of 765 sq. ft.

The exterior loop road wall, riverfront side, is 255 feet long x 8 ft. high, and 22 inches wide, for a total square footage of 2,040 sq. ft.

The interior loop road wall, earthworks side, is 175 ft. long, 3 ft. high, and 18” thick, for a total square footage of 525 sq. ft.

Total square footage of walls is 3330.

Project Conditions:

Do not repoint mortar joints or repair masonry unless air temperatures are between 40 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit and will remain so for at least 48 hours after completion of work. Prevent mortar used in repointing and repair work from staining surface of surrounding masonry and other surfaces. Immediately remove mortar in contact with exposed masonry and other surfaces. Protect sills, ledges and projections from mortar droppings Sequencing/Scheduling:

Perform masonry restoration in the following sequence:

1. Clean wall exterior stonework prior to repointing; use either pressure washer (low psi) or use brushes.

2. Rake out existing mortar from joints indicated to be repointed to a minimum depth of 2 to 2-1/2 times the width of the joint (for most joints, this will approximately 1 inch). Do not remove mortar in excess of one third the depth of the masonry unit above. Remove mortar using hand tools only. Do NOT use electric or pneumatic chisels. Do not spall or chip masonry. Any damaged masonry must be repaired.

3. Clean joints with water, rinse with maximum 100-psi pressure. Masonry joint should be damp and without standing water.

4. Mix mortar carefully, measuring and mixing carefully to assure visual and physical characteristics. Dry ingredients should be measured and volume and be thoroughly mixed before the addition of any water (more information on mix below).

5. Perform field test of new repointing work on masonry (a 3’ x 3’ area on the least visible masonry facade). Contact NPS Southeast Region Project Manager for approval of field test prior to continuing with work. This field visit should occur at a minimum of 72 hours after the field test is performed to ensure that the repointing areas have cured. See additional information below.

6. Repoint existing mortar joints for remainder of structure or building, or as specified by project. (See additional information below).

7. Clean existing masonry surfaces after repointing work is completed. Clean mortar from masonry face promptly to prevent staining. If necessary, after 24 hours of set time, scrub and wash surface to remove laitance using water and detergent, but no chemicals. Use natural sponges and bristle brushes. Wire brushes are not to be used.

8. Protect repointing and replacement stones during curing. Cover with burlap or similar material so that repair work is not in direct sun or exposed to rain. Mist the repair work periodically depending on ambient temperature and humidity to maintain favorable conditions for cure.

Mortar Materials:

Ensure the consistency of the mortar, color, texture and tooling techniques match the original mortar. According to ASTM C 270, the mortar used in pointing should be pre-hydrated in order to reduce the amount of shrinkage that can occur after it is placed in the joints.

CEMENT: ASTM C 150, Type II, white, non-staining unless it can be established that the original mortar used grey cement. For stonework and other masonry indicated, provide non-staining white cement complying with staining requirement of ASTM C91 for not more than 0.03% water-soluble alkali.

HYDRATED LIME: ASTM C 207, Type S or SA, Hydrated Lime for Masonry Purposes. This is high plasticity lime (not air entrained) instead of quicklime.

AGGREGATE: ASTM C 144, unless otherwise indicated.

SAND: Use natural rounded sand, clean, sound and washed. Provide sands that will produce final mortar color and texture to match the existing, and with aggregate type and grading similar to existing mortar. The color of the sand shall be the primary factor used to make mortars that match original. Sand should generally meet ASTM C 144, although sieving the sand may be needed to match the historic particle appearance and gradation.

WATER: Clean, free of oils, acids, alkalis and organic matter. No antifreeze compounds or other admixture shall be used. {Water access is ¼ mile away} CHEMICALS: No modern chemical additives should be used. Mortar Analysis: A visual analysis of the masonry is important to understand the mortar mix, proportions, and removal and application techniques needed. For structures of high historic significance, a mortar analysis by a qualified laboratory is recommended.

Mortar Mixes:

PRE-BLENDED MORTAR MIXES: Pre-blended masonry cement/mortar mix should not be used since it is designed to produce mortars with compressive strength beyond what is common on most historic mortars.

PRE-BLENDED LIME MORTAR: Pre-blended lime mortars are also not recommended in most cases since the mortar will often not be an exact match to historic mortar. Pre-blended lime mortar should never be used for “spot repointing” projects. If for complete repointing projects, the Historic Preservation Office confirms through a test panel that the pre-blended lime mortar is very close to color, composition and texture to historic mortar then it may be permissible. However, in no circumstances shall the mortar differ from the mortar proportions requirements specified below.

MEASUREMENT AND MIXING: Measure cementitious and aggregate material in a dry condition by volume or equivalent weight. Do not measure by shovel, use known measure, mix materials in a clean mechanical batch mixer.

MIXING MORTAR: Thoroughly mix cementitious and aggregate materials together before adding any water. Then mix again adding only enough water to produce a damp, unworkable mix that will retain its form when pressed into a ball. Maintain mortar in this dampened condition for one to two hours. Add remaining water in small portions until mortar of desired consistency is reached. Use mortar within 30 minutes of final mixing; do not re-temper or use partially hardened material.

ADMIXTURES: Do not use admixtures of any kind in mortar.

TOOLS: Use a pointing tool sized and shaped to the proper width for the joint being pointed. Match the profile and tooling of the existing joints exactly. Apply mortar using wooden trowel to simulate the original mortar coating.

Mortar Proportions:

SPECIFICATIONS: NEW MORTAR MUST MATCH ORIGINAL IN COLOR, COMPOSITION, TEXTURE AND TOOLING. New mortar must have greater vapor permeability and be softer than masonry units. It should also be as vapor permeable and at least as soft as the historic mortar (not harder).

The original mortar should be carefully analyzed by a person trained in this field. A preservation architect is highly preferred to help determine the appropriate proportions in advance of the project. In all cases, there should be a site visit with the contractor and Historic Preservation Office to perform a visual analysis of the mortar prior to the initiation of the project.

MIX PROPORTIONS BELOW ARE EXAMPLES ONLY AND MUST BE REVISED TO SUIT PROJECT REQUIREMENTS ONCE EXISTING MORTAR HAS BEEN ANALYZED.

For structures dating from 1930 or earlier:

The final mortar mix shall have no more than 25% of total volume of the lime and Portland cement – combined – consisting of Portland cement unless testing of historic mortar demonstrates a higher Portland cement content. Generally, the proportions fall within ASTM Type K to L range. The range of acceptable mortar proportions is below:

Test Sample:

Prepare one test sample at inconspicuous location. Test sample shall be approximately nine square feet in size and let cure at a minimum of 72 hours. Protect test sample from dirt and moisture. The regional Historical Architect and park staff will review the test sample once sample has cured, and only proceed with project once NPS COR approval is obtained.

Warranty: The contractor shall provide a warranty all work. Any and all repairs to included parts shall be paid by the contractor during this one-year period.
