Rehabilitation of Barn at Wheaton Farm

The Town of Easton is seeking contractors to rehabilitate the historic barn on the Wheaton Farm property. The scope focuses on exterior envelope restoration, structural timber replacement, and limited electrical work, with detailed specifications for windows, doors, roofing, siding, trim, and cupola components. The project was cancelled after low‑bid deficiencies, but the documents remain on file for a future rebid. • Replace existing roof shingles and under‑layment with new asphalt shingles, flashing, and ice‑dam protection. • Remove wood shingles on walls, install cedar shingle siding, weather‑resistive barrier, and rain‑screen under‑layment. • Install specified wood awning and double‑hung windows (Marvin, Pella, Kolbe) meeting NAFS Class CW performance criteria. • Replace exterior trim, fascia, soffits, and cupola elements; install galvanized steel screens and louvers on cupola openings. • Perform timber framing upgrades (8×8 beams, 6×6 braces, 2×4 wall framing) and handle limited electrical de‑energization of meter, panel, and outlets.
