BACKGROUND

San Juan National Historic Site is one of the over 400 parks of the National Park Service. It includes Castillo San Felipe del Morro, Castillo San Cristóbal, most of the city walls, the San Juan Gate and Fort San Juan de la Cruz just across the entrance to the bay. The parks mission is to protect, preserve, and interpret the natural, cultural, and historical resources for the benefit and inspiration of present and future generations. There are over 1.5 million visitors annually.

OBJECTIVES

Project consists of the remediation of lead-based paint (LBP) hazards at Santa Elena Guardhouse, located at the South of Castillo San Felipe. (See Attachment A). The contractor shall remove all deteriorated and hazardous lead-based paint from designated exterior surfaces only, encompassing an estimated area of 6,188.41 sq ft using approved methods such as wet scraping, chemical stripping, or abrasive removal with HEPA-filtered equipment. This includes all painted exterior elements such as siding, windows, doors, trim, eaves, soffits, porch railings, and other architectural features (includes the ceiling and walls of the outside hall on the front of the building, See Attachment B). The structure is historically significant and protected under the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). All work must eliminate identified LBP risks while preserving and protecting historic materials in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties.

PLACE OF PERFORMANCE

San Juan National Historic Site, NPS Calle El Campo del Morro (final), San Juan, Puerto Rico, Building: Santa Elena Guardhouse General Coordinate (18°28'05.5"N 66°07'25.3"W). (See

ATTACHMENT A)

PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE

The work in this SOW shall be completed per the following schedule:

Construction:

Construction shall not begin until the Contracting Officer has issued the Notice to Proceed.

Construction shall be completed no later than 180 calendar days after Notice to Proceed.

Scope:

The contractor shall furnish all labor, materials, supervision, equipment, testing, and disposal services necessary to perform lead-based paint remediation work. The goal is to eliminate LBP hazards while ensuring the protection and long-term integrity of historic fabric. The contractor shall ensure full containment and control of dust, debris, and waste in accordance with applicable EPA and OSHA regulations. Protection of historic exterior materials is required throughout the process. All historic exterior materials (e.g., wood trim, window sashes, decorative moldings) must be protected or, if necessary, temporarily removed and reinstalled using non-destructive means. Any surface damage caused by remediation shall be repaired with historically compatible materials.

Work includes but is not limited to:

• Protection of adjacent finishes, visitor areas, vegetation, and archeologically sensitive zones.

• Cleanup and clearance testing to HUD/EPA clearance levels.

• Disposal of contaminated waste in accordance with federal and state law.

Preservation Considerations:

• No original features (e.g., moldings, trim, windows) shall be removed or altered without written approval from the COR.

• Reversible methods (e.g., encapsulation) are preferred.

• Work methods must minimize damage to historic finishes.

• Mechanical removal (e.g., scraping or sanding) must be conducted with HEPA-filtered tools and under controlled conditions.

• Temporary protection of surfaces (e.g., poly sheeting, foam guards) must be non-destructive.

Line Item #1 Santa Elena Guardhouse: The contractor shall remove all deteriorated and hazardous lead-based paint from designated surfaces using approved methods such as controlled scraping, chemical stripping, or abrasive removal with HEPA-filtered equipment.

This includes containment and removal of all lead-contaminated debris, dust, and residues in accordance with EPA and OSHA standards. The contractor shall clean all affected surfaces to remove lead dust and prepare for repainting or encapsulation. All historic materials (e.g., wood trim, window sashes, plaster) shall be carefully protected or temporarily removed and reinstalled as needed, using non-destructive methods. Where removal of original materials is required, prior approval must be obtained from the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) and Historical Preservation Officer. The contractor shall repair minor surface damage caused by remediation using compatible materials as approved by the COR. All hazardous waste shall be properly contained, transported, and disposed of per federal, state, and local regulations. Refer to technical requirements and preservation specifications in the contract documents.

3. Contractor Responsibilities:

Detailed requirements and specifications:

• Secure all containment against wind uplift.

• Restrict access to the remediation area to authorized personnel only.

• Install fencing, signs, or barriers to ensure public safety.

• Perform work during weather conditions that minimize dust migration.

• Use misting or wet methods at all times during scraping/removal.
