Rehabilitate lighting fixtures built into exposed aggregate concrete walls at the Lower Park Cascades and Reflecting Pool areas, and upgrade lamping of existing pole fixtures throughout the Park. 6. Decorative concrete repairs and limited replacement. This work includes the selective repair of spalls/delaminations and associated concrete deterioration at walls and architectural features, and limited replacement of decorative exposed aggregate walkways (including plazas, steps, landings and curbs). The original decorative exposed aggregate concrete and the actively deteriorating features scheduled for repair or replacement are historically significant and are collectively critical to the architectural integrity of Meridian Hill Park.

Replacement of limited sections of horizontal pavement, steps, curbs and landings matching visual/physical qualities of original. 2.

Application of concrete repair mortar and injection grout. 4. Partial replication of decorative elements, matching visual/physical qualities of original. B.
