Historic Lockmaster House Restoration - Guttenberg, IA

A Historic Structures Report prepared earlier this year is attached to the solicitation. The report includes plans, photos, and detailed descriptions of the condition of the house.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers seeks a contractor to provide architectural restoration work on the Lockmaster House at Lock & Dam 10, Guttenberg, Iowa. The Lockmaster House is a two-story, 24' x 30' side-gabled, 1,440 SF colonial style home, built in 1937-38, with the addition of a porch in 1939. The structure is eligible to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

All restoration services must conform to the U.S. Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. Previous renovations to the kitchen, bathroom, basement and bedrooms were completed after 1968, and the original asbestos roof shingles were replaced with asphalt shingles in 1975.

Virtually all of the surfaces in the house have tested positive for lead paint. The project will consist primarily of lead paint interim control and/or abatement; i.e. removal or encapsulation. Damaged wood and other components will also need to be replaced with historically correct replicas.

On the exterior of the home, work includes wood siding, shutters, windows, doors, gutters and downspouts. On the interior of the home, work includes painting all ceilings, removal of wallpaper, scraping and painting all interior plasterboard walls, cabinets and woodwork, and repainting the porch.

In addition to the lead paint abatement, the entire roof will need to be replaced, the chimney requires repair (tuckpointing and brick replacement), and a complete inspection of the electrical system needs to be made.
