OVERVIEW

Cooperative Agreement Number P14AC01002 was entered into by and between the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS) and the National Society for the Preservation of Covered Bridges (NSPCB) for the purpose of executing a research project for the National Historic Covered Bridge Preservation Program. Unless otherwise specified herein, the terms and conditions as stated in the Cooperative Agreement will apply to this Task Agreement.

RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT

This project follows up on the work performed under Cooperative Agreement H2270100008, Task Agreement Number J2270100010, ¿Howe Truss Bridge Design and Performance Project.¿ It will feature the reconstructed Moose Brook Bridge, a structure which is still owned by the National Society for the Preservation of Covered Bridges. Since Case Western Reserve University has completed its research, the bridge will be transported from Cleveland to Gorham, New Hampshire, and re-erected for public display and use.
2. Arrange for a suitable exhibit site with the Gorham Historical Society. Provide site design and reassembly drawings by a registered architect for bridge installation. NSPCB will acquire and install new materials such as decking, sheathing, roofing, and fire retardant.
3. Design and install interpretive panels developed from the CWRU engineering study and HAER documentation. The panels would display the bridge’s unique story, starting from a boxed pony truss on the Boston & Maine Railroad, to an arson victim, to its reconstruction, to laboratory test subject, to bridge exhibit.
4. Work with the site owner, the Gorham Historical Society, to insure the structure¿s maintenance and upkeep as a publically-accessible bridge exhibit.

NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT

Substantial involvement on the part the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following:

Provide funding and coordination for the task agreement. Produce quarterly progress reports for FHWA.
2. Provide opportunities for student and professionals in engineering and other relevant disciplines to learn and develop architectural, engineering, and historical documentation skills, and to observe directly the administration and management of a national historic engineering documentation program.
3. Share resources, facilities, information, and expertise of its AutoCAD and engineering documentation knowledge to enhance the ability of NSPCB to advance its expertise in these areas.
4. Disseminate information and knowledge among public officials, private organizations, and individuals working with the Secretary of the Interior’s HABS/HAER Standards of Documentation, and Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties
