Scope of Work
Correct Life Safety and Other Deficiencies in the NHL Oregon Caves Chateau

The project will correct critical life and safety deficiencies of the Oregon Caves Chateau, National Historic Landmark (NHL) to ensure code compliant emergency egress and fire protection.

Project includes fire suppression, installation of code compliance egress doors, fire detection and suppression system. Project will address structural deficiencies. Accessibility improvements include conversion of 1st floor guest rooms to be fully accessible (signage, door widening, closets and lavatories). Public areas will have improved access dining facilities and restrooms. A wo-story with Limited Use, Limited Application (LULA) elevator will be installed between lobby and dining areas. Project includes replacement of water supply piping, waste vent line piping, toilets and faucets. Replacement of steam piping, traps and radiators. Replacement of main electric service entrance panel. Installation of plywood shear panels to interior walls. Phase 2 will address accessibility, fire suppression and detection, egress and accessibility deficiencies in upper level lodging and lower level employee areas. Work includes an internal stairway with fire-rated doors between the 3rd/2nd floors, floor joist replacement, and adding lateral force resistance through addition of plywood sheer walls on all exterior walls. Steel framed balconies will be added to meet fire code egress.
