Description/Scope of Work: The U.S. General Services Administration anticipates a future procurement for construction services necessary to stabilize, conserve, and selectively restore portions of the Clara Barton Museum Building, a District of Columbia boarding house where Clara Baron, founder of the American Red Cross, lived and worked during and immediately following the American Civil War. Open to the public, the Clara Barton Building will serve as a one-of-a-kind museum documenting life in a mid-nineteenth century boarding house. Museum patrons will experience the intimate, long forgotten spaces (approximately 4,000 SF) Clara Barton inhabited while conducting inquiries into lost in action, Civil War soldiers. The estimated construction cost range is between $1,000,000.00 and $3,000,000.00. All work shall be performed in accordance with the GSA's authorized and approved standards found in 2010 Facilities Standards for the Public Building Service (P-100), the standards in the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works, the standards in National Park Service, and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitation, Restoring, & Reconstructing Historic Buildings. Situated inside a privately owned building in which GSA holds an in-perpetuity preservation easement, the museum shall encompass portions of the basement and first floor and the entire third floor. The third floor contains fragile original finishes that must be stabilized and preserved while building systems are carefully integrated to avoid harming historic materials or the character of spaces occupied by Barton.
