The Scope of Work is composed of the following two items: 1. New pier and beam foundation on the selected site; and 2. Relocation of the structure Relocation of the structure. All moving projects contain varying degrees of risk; therefore, the mover must have experience moving other historic structures. A. Selecting the Best Procedure for the Move The structure is a two-story building with a standard pillar-and-beam foundation and wooden frame. When submitting the proposal, bidders must take into account the widths of the streets to be used (Harrison Street, Central Street, or alternative route preferred by the Proposer). Since structural plans do not exist for the Scott-Barker House, fieldwork will need to be performed to plan how to proceed with the foundation design at the relocation site. The lifting should be maintained a maximum of one week so the structural engineer, the contractor selected to build the foundation, and the company relocating the Scott-Barker House could re-evaluate the work if needed. B. Planning the Route It is estimated that the attached Route (Appendix E) is the most direct one to be used. Overhead utilities will be encountered along the Routes, but the selection of this route has minimized these. The moving contractor will coordinate with all affected utilities to provide clearance during the moving of the building either with the use of hot sticks to raise the utility lines during the movement of the building under the lines, or disconnection of lines during the relocation if needed. The mover must be very familiar with communicating with all utility providers in the area and foresee any issue that may appear. Bidders shall be responsible for obtaining all the required City permits. The City will waive any applicable permit fees associated with this project.
