Scotts Bluff National Monument Rehabilitate and Expand Historic Visitor Center NPS Project Number: SCBL 152851 NAICS Code: 236220 Estimated Cost Range: $1,000,000 to $5,000,000 Estimated Period of Performance: September 2016 - September 2017 Project Background and Scope of Work: Scotts Bluff National Monument, established in 1919, preserves and interprets the history of the Great Platte River Road as well as the Oregon, California, Mormon Pioneer, and Pony Express National Historic Trails. The bluff was a prominent landmark along the Overland Trails and still inspires travelers on their journeys to the west. The visitor center/museum was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1935 with additions in 1937 and 1949. The visitor center is part of an 18 structure complex, a nearly intact example of a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) construction and development project, contributing to a nationally significant National Register historic district (Scotts Bluff Historic District). The structure has a unique architectural design and has been identified as being eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. Visitation has increased 10-fold since the construction of the visitor center and thus the existing building layout does not meet the needs of Park staff or provide for an enjoyable visitor experience. The visitor center does not meet the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards or Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards and does not currently provide adequate egress required by life safety codes. In addition, the visitor center HVAC system is inadequate for visitor and Park staff comfort and does not provide the necessary climate control to preserve the museum objects and Jackson collection; the building lacks a fire suppression system; the lighting is inadequate for exhibits, visitors, and Park staff; the electrical system and plumbing are at the end of their useful design life and require replacement; radon and asbestos are present in the facility and will need to be mitigated. The existing Visitor Center is an "L" shaped building in plan with a Spanish Colonial design style. The facility serves as the museum space and visitor center for the monument with NPS office space within the building. It is a one story structure with a basement and a one room/two story tower. Exterior walls are adobe block masonry with a stucco finish or painted brick. The entire facility features medium slope roofs with a five in twelve pitch. The wood shingled roof is carried by nominally-sized wood members or exposed beams and decorative trusses in a number of rooms. The interior finishes are diverse and include beaded board, stained wood board, painted wall board, brick, and plaster. This project would rehabilitate, restore, and expand the historic visitor center at Scotts Bluff National Monument providing safe egress for park staff and visitors, protection of the park's resources, and accessibility for all people. The project scope will include but not be limited to the following: •Develop and maintain construction schedule •Develop and maintain Health and Safety Plan •Develop and maintain Quality Control Program •Secure work area •Site layout, grading, site utilities, and concrete flatwork •Asbestos abatement and radon mitigation •Demolition of a portion of the existing building •Replace existing mechanical and electrical systems •Repair and rehabilitation of historic windows and adobe brick walls •Construct new building addition •Install new fire suppression system and expand existing security system •Install new lightning protection system •Commissioning of electrical controls and HVAC systems •Implementation and tracking of sustainable design requirements •Create and provide operations and maintenance manual •Provide as-constructed drawings Required Capabilities & Evaluation Criteria: Contractors should address the following Criteria in their capability statements: •Demonstrate experience as a prime contractor on projects of a similar scale and complexity. •Demonstrate experience in rehabilitation work on a designated historic structure. •Demonstrate experience working on projects with natural resource, cultural resource, and visitor/public management considerations. Bonding Capability: Interested firms MUST provide a letter from their bonding company to confirm their bonding capacity.
