Point Reyes National Park PORE 149469 Lighthouse at the Point Reyes Light Station Estimated Period of Performance: 09/17 - 3/18 Scope: The primary goal of the project is to rehabilitate the Lighthouse at the Point Reyes Light Station. Rehabilitation design will be prepared in compliance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. The lens will be removed, stored and restoration started prior to beginning of the main project. An extent conditions report will be provided. The vendor shall have the option to remove and restore the lens offsite or to complete the work within another building onsite. The Fresnel lens in the Point Reyes National Seashore Lighthouse is the only First Order Lens with working clockworks in its original lighthouse anywhere in the United States. Furthermore, it is one of only three in this category that exist in the world. The Fresnel lens built by Barbier & Fenestra in 1867 is made up of 24 flash panels that are each comprised of 43 prisms arranged into 3 sections per panel. There are upper and lower catadioptric sections, and the dioptric bulls-eye section between them. There have been alterations and replacements to the lamp as technology changed over the 105 years of its operative life as an aid to navigation. The original lamp was a Funck's Hydrolic Float Lamp burning lard oil, changed to an incandescent oil vapor lamp burning mineral oil and in 1939 was electrified with a 1/18th horsepower motor fitted to the clock mechanism. The light was fully automated in 1975. The clockwork was rebuilt in 1982 by NPS at which time the electric motor that had been installed to rotate the lens was removed and the manual winding of the clock restored. A 1500-watt bulb was later replaced with a 1000-watt bulb, which is the current wattage installed with a regulator. The lens apparatus has not been disassembled or removed from the Lighthouse since their original installation in 1870. The Fresnel lens are controlled museum property due to their age, rarity, high monetary value, historical value and integrity, and vulnerability to damage by agents of deterioration. Capability Information: 1. Past Performance: In the first stage of the project, before structural renovation can begin, the lighthouse lens will be disassembled and removed from the lighthouse structure for repair and conservation and then returned and reassembled after construction is complete. Interested vendors shall submit up to five (5) examples of past performance on similar lens projects in scope that occurred within the last ten years. Projects cited should demonstrate that the Contractor has the technical capability, skills and experience to successfully remove the lighthouse structure for repair and conservation and then returned and reassembled after construction is complete. 2. Resume: Interested vendors shall submit resumes that demonstrate experience and qualifications with the removal and installation of lighthouse lens. 3. Project approach Provide a brief description of how the vendor would approach and execute this project.
