Introduction This Sources Sought Notice provides the opportunity for interested parties to submit statements of capabilities to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Office of Real Property (ORP) to move/relocate a one story log structure constructed between 1795 and 1801 by Samuel Merrick. The property is currently on the site of the Washington Crossing National Cemetery. Maps and photographs of the property are included as Attachment 1 to this notice. Description and Significance of the Property The Merrick Log House is currently located within the Washington Crossing National Cemetery. Residential properties of the Village of Dolington are located south of the property. The main block of the Merrick Log House was constructed between 1795 and 1800 by Samuel Merrick, a shoemaker. Merrick conveyed the property, consisting of approximately 12 acres, to John Cadwallader on April 1, 1807. The property transferred a number of times during the first half of the 19th century. Alonzo Balderston retained the property from 1917 until his death in 1940. The property remained in the Balderston family until 2007, when Ann P. and Janet U. Balterston conveyed it to Dolington Land, L.P. The U.S Department of Veterans Affairs acquired the property in 2008. The property was determined eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places in December 2008 under Criterion D for its potential to yield information about materials, usage, construction practices and dwelling forms of early cultural groups of Bucks County. The period of significance corresponds to the dwelling s date of construction, ca. 1800. In 1990, the house was identified as one of only two log houses in Upper Makefield Township as part of a countywide historic resources survey. At that time the Samuel Merrick Log House was described as having the better integrity of the two buildings. The current configuration of the structure developed over the period of 1800 to 1940. In 1870, a wagon shed was added. In the 1920s a four bay, one room deep, frame shed addition was added to the west elevation. In the 1930s, a three bay, one room deep frame shed addition was added to the south (rear) elevation. And in the 1940s a hip roof addition was added to the southwest corner, connecting the two shed additions. The structure is vacant and is not currently associated with any use. VA NCA has mothballed the house to protect it from damage and deterioration. The conditions of the structure are detailed in a Historic Structures Report (HSR) prepared by John Milner and Associates, Inc., in May 2011. The HSR also contains additional maps, photographs, architectural drawings and historical information that may be helpful in developing a proposal for the rehabilitation of the property. To request a copy of the HSR, contact Ed Hooker, III, VA NCA Historic Architect, 202-632-6631, or William.Hooker@va.gov. Questions and Answers All questions regarding this notice must be submitted in writing to the project manager by February 6, 2018 to allow VA sufficient time to respond in writing. VA will answer all questions received in a single document that will be sent to all registered interested parties. Oral instructions or explanations provided will not be binding. Questions should be addressed to maina.gakure@va.gov with a copy email to Ed Hooker, III, NCA Historic Architect, Willliam.Hooker@va.gov.
