Project Description
The Netherlands Carillon is a historic property listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is located in Arlington Ridge Park, and is part of the National Park Service George Washington Memorial Parkway. The Netherlands Carillon was a gift from the people of the Netherlands to the people of the United States in gratitude for aid during and after World War II. The Netherlands Carillon was constructed in 1960 and the tower consists of a 127' tall x 25' deep x 36' wide steel framed structure with steel panel cladding. The tower houses 50 bronze bells with a total weight of over 30 tons. Inside the tower a steel stair leads to two observation decks, the first 60 feet above the plaza level and the second 84 feet above the plaza level. On the second observation deck level there is also a climate controlled room (clavier room) with a wooden console which allows carilloneurs to play the bells and perform public concerts. The tower stands in the center of a ninety‐three‐foot‐square plaza, paved with square slate tiles and surrounded by a broad, fourteen‐inch‐high wall made of a volcanic stone. Two stylized bronze lions flank the short ramp leading to the plaza on the east.
The Netherlands Carillon is showing severe signs of deterioration. This project will rehabilitate the memorial following the Secretary of Interior's Standards of Rehabilitation and provide safe ABAAS compliant access to the site (plaza and tower). The National Park Service and the Royal Netherlands Embassy have formed a partnership agreement to restore and upgrade the Netherlands Carillon. As part of this effort the Embassy plans to restore and retune the bells, upgrade the bell operating system, and add three additional bells. The Design-Build project scope will include but not be limited to the following:
• Develop Construction Drawings
