88th Regional Support Command, Washington

Part 1

General Information

1. GENERAL: This is a non-personnel services contract to perform fieldwork to remove historic headstones, re-excavate and realign pockets, and reinstall, and clean stones. Fieldwork will be performed by field crews under the supervision of a qualified masonry conservator.

2. Data will be informed by site plans, historic photographs, National Register of Historic Places Determination of Eligibility, and the Cemetery Maintenance Plan.

3. 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.

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: The contractor shall provide all personnel, technical equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to remove the headstones, prepare the new alignment, and reinstall the headstones, as defined in this Performance Work Statement except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2 Background: Vancouver Post Cemetery was established in 1882. It is the fourth of four cemeteries associated with the Hudson’s Bay Company and the US military, and includes some relocated military burials, as well as Native American burials, many of which are marked “unknown.” There are also four Medal of Honor recipients buried at the Post cemetery. Most of the markers are the standard government-issue type established during the Civil War era, and consist of plane white marble with curved tops. There are also 159 private markers of varying types and sizes, some of which are sandstone. Approximately 20 of these are less than 50 years of age.

Because the cemetery is eligible for listing in the National Register, the 88th’s management of its historic features and objects must comply with Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act.

Part of this obligation requires historic resources to be treated according to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Restoration and Rehabilitation (36 CFR 67). Throughout the years, burial markers have moved out of alignment due to ground disturbance and natural settlement of the slope, resulting in an uneven and non-historic appearance.

1.3 Objectives:

• Evaluate and assess headstone stability prior to removal.

• Ensure precautions are taken for headstones that are vulnerable to damage during removal.

• Removal of 900 burials headstones at Fort Vancouver Barracks Cemetery.

• Excavation and modification of pocket to alignment with cemetery grid.

• Reinstallation of headstones into new realigned pocket.

• Clean all 1,450 markers (standard as well as private) with a prescribed cleaning agent to remove stains and biological growth.

• Option 1: Headstone Realignment of an additional 550 headstones at Vancouver Post Cemetery, as needed, in rows to be identified by the COR as requiring additional alignment.

1.4 Scope: Field excavation and removal of existing burial stones, excavation of a new pocket, and reinstallation of stones in alignment with overall historic grid layout; cleaning.

1.5 Period of Performance: The period of performance shall be for 12 months from contract award.
