- Description
- This is a sources sought synopsis for acquisition planning purposes only. No formal solicitation for this work exists at this time. The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) has a requirement to rehabilitate the Old Exhibit Building located at Hoover Dam, Nevada. The Old Exhibit Building was originally used as a headquarters for soldiers protecting the dam during World War II, this building served as the dam's first visitor center. It contains educational exhibits and offers a narrative overview of the Colorado River Basin highlighted through a topographical model showing the location of dams and reservoirs along the river and its tributaries. This building was completed in the 1940's and has been determined to be individually eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places as well as contributing to Hoover Dam's National Historic Landmark status. The intent of this project is to repair and clean the exterior of the building, rehabilitate the two restrooms, auditorium seating in the exhibit room, interior wall and ceiling surfaces, all doors, and do other miscellaneous tasks to return the building to as close to its original condition as possible given current and projected future use. All work performed must follow the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines for Rehabilitation, as well as building codes, life safety, accessibility, and fire protection standards and regulations. More detailed guidance for implementing the Secretary's Standards and Guidelines when conducting specific kinds of repairs is provided in the National Park Service's Preservation Brief series which can be accessed on-line at http://www.cr.nps.gov/hps/tps/briefs.htm.

It is our intent to reverse damage that has occurred in the past by making suitable repairs, cleaning and the application of appropriate sealing materials to return the material to its original color and prevent discoloration into the future.
