BACKGROUND: These logs will be used to rebuild the first story of a 1860s historic building called the blockhouse at the English Camp unit of the park. The first story of this building was rebuilt in 1970 but those logs have deteriorated. The second story of this building is believed to be made of the original logs from the 1860s. Information about the park is at www.nps.gov/sajh; maps and directions are at www.nps.gov/sajh/planyourvisit/directions.htm. REQUIREMENTS: ITEM 1, PEELED LOGSDouglas-fir and western red cedar peeled logs, as described below: a) Hand-peeled to remove all bark but not perfectly smoothed or rounded like modern buildings since this is for a historic structure built in 1860. b) Peeled diameter: 6" - 12" with about 80 logs (a proportional mix of species) 8" - 11" c) Length: 18 - 20 feet each d) Quality: Graded "No. 1 Structural" according to the West Coast Lumber Inspection Bureau (wclib.org), as well as straight as seen by the naked eye, 0"- 2" taper over the length, 7 or more annual rings per inch at butt end. e) Quantity: 100 logs total. Species: 85 Douglas fir, 15 western red cedar ITEM 2, DELIVERYThe contractor must deliver the logs to the parade ground at English Camp, 3905 West Valley Road, Friday Harbor, Washington and offload them in an area designated by the NPS. Note that English Camp is on San Juan Island, approximately 9 miles north of the ferry landing in Friday Harbor WA; the ferry from Anacortes WA is operated by the Washington Department of Transportation (www.wsdot.wa.gov/ferries). The parade ground at English Camp is mowed grass field accessed by a gravel service road. This service road is 3/4 of a mile long with some curves, has a gate with a 12-foot opening, and a road bed 10 feet wide. There is a 9000 square foot parking area near the entrance of the service road that can be used as a transfer point if needed. The service road is a non-public, authorized use road so we can be sure it is clear of any traffic. The parade ground is a public use area. The park will be responsible for cordoning off an area during off-loading. The logs must be neatly stacked for drying on dunnage off the ground, in rows with succeeding rows perpendicular to the row beneath it, and no more than 5 feet in height.
