The Project involves the extensive stabilization of the historic Water Works Pump House, constructed circa 1890-1894 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Pump House includes five historic structures: the Engine Room, Boiler Room, Tower, Chimney, and Portico. The selected CMAR will be responsible for a range of work, including but not limited to abatement of lead and asbestos-containing materials, selective demolition, structural stabilization, exterior envelope stabilization, and historic restoration. Key scope items include the abatement of lead paint and asbestos-containing materials, the removal of existing tanks, and the repair or replacement of deteriorated structural components such as purlins, trusses, framing, and decking. Structural elements, including steel trusses, will be repaired and strengthened, while the roof and rooftop monitors will undergo metal panel replacement, and the Tower will receive new roof framing and membrane. The scope also encompasses masonry restoration, including repointing of brick, terra cotta, and stone coping, replacement of damaged terra cotta reliefs, and removal and replacement of non-historic brick with historically appropriate materials. Additional work includes reinstating historic windows, sealing and infilling unsealed penetrations, replacing gutters, drainage systems, and sealants, and revising exterior site grades. Selective demolition will be performed on interior office and bathroom structures, as well as a non-historic CMU building adjacent to the southeast corner of the complex. Vegetation removal will also be conducted. All work will adhere to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties to ensure the preservation and integrity of this historically significant site.
