Maintenance Plan for Historic Buildings with the Presidio of San Francisco

Charles Hall Page & Associates, Inc.

In September of 1981 the United States National Park Service, acting as contracting agent to the United States Army, awarded to Charles Hall Page & Associates, Inc., San Francisco, CA, Contract #8000-1-0041 to provide a Maintenance Plan for Historic Buildings within the Presidio of San Francisco Historic Landmark District. The primary goal of this document is to develop a comprehensive maintenance plan that will provide specific recommendations to the Presidio Facilities Engineer for the long-term, preservation-based maintenance of designated historic buildings located within the Presidio National Historic Landmark District. The format of this Maintenance Plan for Historic Buildings has been specifically developed by the consultants, with guidance from The National Park Service and the Facilities Engineers' staff, to result in a Plan that is easy to understand, easy to reference and easy to use. The format as developed is simple but not simplistic, consisting of five separate but interrelated sections. These five sections are: I.) Introduction, II.) Maintenance Recommendations and Procedures, III.) Drawings and Illustrations, IV.) Appendix, and V.) Historic Building Portfolios. Complete instructions for the use of each section are provided in 1.5.3 of the INTRODUCTION. Briefly summarized the sections are: The INTRODUCTION, consisting of five subsections that describe what the Plan is and how it is to be used. As the major text of the report, it should be read by everyone who is to use or refer to the Maintenance Plan For Historic Buildings. The second part, MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS AND PROCEDURES contains the written recommendations (organized by division according to the appropriate Construction Specifications Institute number), which respond to the preservation problems identified at The Presidio. The third part, DRAWINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS FOR REPAIRS, contains the drawings necessary to illustrate the recommendations and procedures section. The APPENDIX is the fourth section and contains all the Plan reference materials. The fifth and final major portion of the plan consists of the HISTORIC BUILDING PORTFOLIOS. There are 53 individual dossiers, one for each building type covered in the plan. These dossiers are separate from the text portion of the report, however they are to be used in conjunction with the text, therefore these and all portions of the plan need to be kept together as a unit to insure proper referencing and coordination between the parts. All five sections of the plan are indexed by a multiple decimal point system for quick referencing and cross referencing between sections.
