PROJECT The Fort Frederik Museum structure is a mixed type masonry structure with a flat modified bituminous membrane roof located in Frederiksted, St. Croix, USVI. It has a roofed area of 9,730 square feet (SF). It is mostly a one-story rectangular building with center open courtyard and a portion with a second story. There is also a raised barrier wall for cannons along the western edge bordering the sea. The property is a U.S. National Historic Landmark built between 1752 and 1760 by Denmark-Norway to defend the economic interests of the natural deep water port of Frederiksted and to ward off pirates. The property is of major historical significance. During Hurricane Maria, the fort structure and surrounding grounds sustained considerable damage from wind, fallen trees, driven rain and saltwater, and erosion from both laterally moving floodwaters in the adjacent gut and from wave action along ocean shoreline. Significant interior damage was caused due to the windows, doors and skylights leaking, being blown off or opened. The intent is to restore the building and grounds, stabilize any deterioration of the historic aspects of the property, and remove any hazards to health and safety. 1 Attachment A Scope of Services Rev A SCOPE OF WORK The scope of services to support the project include damage assessments, development of repair scope and probable costs, design engineering and architectural services, preparation of plans, development of repair specifications, preparation of construction bid documents, preparation of final estimated costs, and other specialty services as may be required for the complete restoration of Fort Frederik and grounds.
