Document Description
Rehabilitate the existing satellite Administrative Offices at the entrance to Wilder Ranch State Park to support the Visitor and Technical Services of northern District park units. Work will remove all dilapidated wood structures, unsightly metal storage containers, and resource nursery; rehabilitate the exterior and interior of the Columbini House as necessary (no structural alterations); create Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant van parking within 20 feet of the Columbini House; install a 25' x 60' pre-fabricated modular office building; replace the existing modular residence with an appropriately designed 12' x 60' modular unit on the existing pad; install an approximately 600 foot ranch/farm style perimeter fence with interior hedge planting for security and screening; excavate approximately 150 feet of trench 4" wide x 36" deep for utility line installation from existing services; replace existing electrical wiring to the Columbini House; pour two above-ground, 6" thick concrete pads for two 24' x 30' modular garage/storage buildings; and grade to level for building placement and water drainage. All new buildings will be ADA-compliant, include exterior hooded security lights at doorways, and blend into the existing historic setting. Project improves visitor services and supports continued use and maintenance.
