This lighthouse has been active since August 20, 1873. Today, the fully automated first order Fresnel lens runs 24 hours a day. The 93 foot lighthouse, Oregon's tallest, is located on a narrow point of land jutting due west nearly 1 mile into the Pacific Ocean at the Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area, in Newport, Oregon. Project Description: I Project Scope and Objectives: - The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform the inspection. - The services shall include a Historical Building Structural Engineering review to determine the necessity to provide for adequate temporary bracing or other work when completing inspection services. - The contactor shall submit an inspection plan for review and approval by the Oregon State Historical Preservation Office. - Perform a "Masonry Probe" into the infill brickwork in the service room at two locations 180 degrees apart (North and South) to verify the conditions of the cast-iron brackets that are laid into the column wall. The goal is to expose the cast-iron bracket, tie rods and other components to verify their current condition. - Upon completion, the brickwork shall be put back to its pre-inspection condition. - Provide a report with complete condition assessment of the existing brackets.
