This project restores the 3,600 square foot historic Scotty's Castle Visitor Center, accessible parking, and pedestrian walkways, which have been closed to the public since a massive flash flood in 2015 damaged them extensively. This project restores flood damage to the interior and exterior of the historic Garage/Long Shed/Bunkhouse: a structure consisting of three connected buildings, which are contributing features of the Death Valley Scotty Historic District. The Visitor Center occupies the historic Garage. This project includes reconstruction of one exterior wall, replacement of studs damaged by termites, replacement of sheet rock and interior finishes, replacement of damaged doors and windows, restoration of historic redwood doors, removal of damaged asbestos floor tiles, replacement of floor coverings, replacement of the roof, installing a fire suppression system, repairing electrical systems, and replacing the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system in the Visitor Center portion of the structure. This project shall repair approximately 72,000 square feet of pedestrian plaza and walkways. The pedestrian walkways at Scotty's Castle shall be upgraded to provide ABAAS accessible routes for visitors to enter the Visitor Center and tours of Scotty's Castle with minimal visual impact on the cultural landscape. The walkways were in poor condition before the flood, and are completely unusable after the flood damaged and removed sections of the surface. Three accessible parking spaces and an access ramp shall be installed in the parking lot adjacent to the Visitor Center.
Interpretive exhibits shall be designed and installed BY OTHERS. There are a number of projects going on at the Scotty's Castle complex with a single access road. Coordination with other contractors is critical on this project.
