c. The PRESERVATION ARCHITECT must review all submissions in their entirety for impacts on restoration and rehabilitation zones. Incorporate the PRESERVATION ARCHITECT's comments into the submission prior to delivery to GSA. The PRESERVATION ARCHITECT must certify in writing that the final submission meets the Secretary of the Interior's (DOI) Standards (SOI). If the submission does not meet DOI Standards, the PRESERVATION ARCHITECT must provide an explanation.

USE THE FOLLOWING CLAUSE FOR STUDIES ONLY:

i. A/E Design Checklist: Address the questions on Attachment B and fill out by placing a check next to each affected space, material, and assembly.

ii. A project description, summarizing the recommended solutions and how they address the preservation issues raised during the study. Follow the format shown in Attachment C. This shall be provided with each submission required in the contract.

If redesign occurs at 95% which affects original materials, a final submission shall be produced at the 100% submission.

USE THE FOLLOWING CLAUSES FOR CONSTRUCTION SCOPES ONLY:

i. A project description, explaining the project's preservation issues and how they were resolved in design. Follow the format shown in Attachment B. This shall be provided with each submission required by the contract.

ii. Provide special graphics as necessary to illustrate preservation issues.

iii. Photographic documentation of locations to be affected by the project by submitting 4" X 6" color prints (with original negatives) to document the existing conditions related to this project. Provide at least one photograph of each different type of space or facade, each historic finish material or assembly, and each different condition to be treated which are potentially affected by this project. Photographs should have numbered labels, applied to the back of each print, indicating the location and content of each photograph.

iv. Provide annotated floor or site plans with numbers corresponding to photo label numbers and arrows showing the photographer's location and the orientation of each photograph.

WHEN NO HBPP OR HSR EXISTS - DELETE SECTION v:

v. Archival Project Documentation: Photocopy or provide excerpts of applicable text and illustrations from the building's Historic Building Preservation Plan (BPP) or Historic Structure Report (HSR) to supplement the project description.

WHEN NO BPP OR HSR EXISTS - INSERT SECTION vi:

vi. Testing and Analysis: Provide three sets each of the following:

[INSERT ABOVE - PROJECT SPECIFIC TESTS OR ANALYSIS SELECTED FROM THE

LIST BELOW]

FOR MASONRY POINTING AND REPAIR

Provide mortar analysis as the basis for pointing specifications. This work must be performed by an architectural conservator specializing in the inspection and analysis of historic masonry materials. Mortar analysis shall include on-site visual and laboratory examination of building mortar in each type of masonry to identify existing problems and to determine the proper composition and application techniques for repainting, including correct mortar joint profiles.

vii. For projects involving ADA compliance, report should recommend design solutions which minimize adverse effects on original materials and design.

d. Outline Specifications:

i. Prepare contract specifications for work that affects restoration and rehabilitation zones requiring a restoration specialist. Reference the applicable HSR Outline Specifications (if they exist, usually provided in Chapter 10).

ii. Review and edit Section 00120 and Sections 009[00] to reflect competency requirements for this project. Provide these documents both within bidding specifications as well as separately for this submission requirement.

e. Construction Supervision:

i. Competency of Bidder Submission:
