EXHIBIT D – SCOPE OF WORK and BUDGET
SCOPE OF WORK SUBJECT TO BUDGET WHICH IS NOT TO EXCEED $250,000 IN TOTAL.
(Budget detail to be finalized based on final bid from contractor)
Grant funds will support the stabilization and repair of the Gish Mill that was damaged during Hurricanes Florence and
Michael. The mill was determined eligible by DHR and a consensus Determination of Eligibility was approved by the
NPS in September 2020. The Gish Mill was damaged from the hurricanes due to high water from the adjacent Glade
Creek. According to an engineering report done following the hurricanes "damage to the masonry wall, dock slab and
framing which is supported in the basement area is the result of the high-water flooding as a result of the aftermaths of
Hurricanes Florence and Michael in 2018.
Grant funds will support the hiring of engineering services to complete a Hydrologic and Hydraulic (H&H) Study to
determine the proposed repair and stabilization work will not impact the pre-project base flood elevations, floodway
elevations, or floodway data widths. Also, this data and certificate allows for creative and effective measures to be
utilized by architects to incorporate dry flood-proofing methods, the elevation of utilities, and other proactive
retrofitting techniques which will assist in future storm damage mitigation. Following that, architectural services will be
hired to complete a Historic Structures Report and Structural Design for Flood Recovery & Rehabilitation (A&E) which
will help to determine the construction phase of this project. Grant funds will then be used for temporary shoring,
column, girder and beam shoring or replacement, repairing (or replacing in kind) to the flo or systems and foundation as
well as replacing the metal roof and repairing (or replacing in kind) the slab and stabilizing bank. Stabilizing the
foundation and bank and repairing the building's envelope will also help to mitigate future storm damage. Gran t funds
will also support a formal NRHP nomination.

of any type, other than temporary emergency work to prevent further damage to the Property and to protect
public safety, shall be undertaken by the Grantor without the Grantee's prior written approval. Within thirty
(30) calendar days of the date of damage or destruction, if required by the Grantee, the Grantor at its
expense shall submit to the Grantee a written report prepared by a qualified restoration architect and an
engineer who are acceptable to the Grantor and the Grantee, which report shall include the following:
(a) an assessment of the nature and extent of the damage;
(b) a determination of the feasibility of the restoration of the Property and/or restoration of damaged
or destroyed portions of the Property; and
(c) a report of such restoration work necessary to return the Property to the condition existing at the
date hereof.
7.2. Recovered Data Protection. The Grantor shall ensure that any archaeological data or material
recovered during approved restoration activities as outlined in paragraphs 3.1, 3.2, 6 and 7.1 (above) will be
placed in a repository that will care for the data in the manner prescribed in the Secretary of the Interior's
"Standards for Archeology and Historic Preservation," or will comply with the requirements of the Native
American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, and with 36 CFR 79 and 43 CFR 10.
8. Review after Casualty Damage or Destruction. If, after reviewing the report provided in
paragraph 7.1 and assessing the availability of insurance proceeds after satisfaction of any
mortgagee's/lender's claims under paragraph 9, the Grantor and the Grantee agree that the Purpose of the
Agreement will be served by such restoration, the Grantor and the Grantee shall establish a schedule under
which the Grantor shall complete the restoration of the Property in accordance with plans and specifications
consented to by the parties up to at least the total of casualty insurance proceeds available to the Grantor.
If, after reviewing the report and assessing the availability of insurance proceeds after satisfaction of
any mortgagee's/lender's claims under paragraph 9, the Grantor and the Grantee agree restoration of the
Property is impractical or impossible, or agree that the Purpose of the Agreement would not be served by
such restoration, the Grantor may, with prior written consent of the Grantee, alter, demolish, remove, or raze
one or more of the Buildings and/or Structures on the Property, and/or construct new improvements on the
Property. The Grantor and the Grantee may agree to extinguish this Agreement in whole or in part in
accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and paragraph 23.2 hereof.
If, after reviewing the report and assessing the availability of insurance proceeds after satisfaction of
any mortgagee's/lender's claims under paragraph 9, the Grantor and the Grantee are unable to agree that the
Purpose of the Agreement will or will not be served by such restoration, the matter may be referred by either
party to binding arbitration and settled in accordance with the Commonwealth of Virginia's arbitration
statute then in effect [or refer to the arbitration provision referenced at paragraph 15, below].
9. Insurance. The Grantor shall keep the Property insured by an insurance company rated "A1" or
better by Best's for the full replacement value against loss from the perils commonly insured under standard
fire, [flood insurance], and extended coverage policies and comprehensive general liability insurance against
5
claims for personal injury, death, and property damage. Property damage insurance shall include change in
condition and building ordinance coverage, in form and amount sufficient to replace fully the damaged
Property without cost or expense to the Grantor or contribution or contribution or coinsurance from the
Grantor. Such insurance shall include the Grantee's interest and name the Grantee as an additional insured.
The Grantor shall deliver to the Grantee, within ten (10) business days of the Grantee's written request
therefor, certificates of such insurance coverage. Provided, however, that whenever the Property is
encumbered with a mortgage or deed of trust, nothing contained in this paragraph shall jeopardize the prior
claim, if any, of the mortgagee/lender to the insurance proceeds.
10. Indemnification. The Grantor hereby agrees to pay, protect, indemnify, hold harmless and
defend at its own cost and expense, the Grantee, its agents, trustees, directors, officers and employees, or
independent contractors from and against any and all claims, liabilities, expenses, costs, damages, losses,
and expenditures (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements hereafter incurred) arising out of
or in connection with injury to or death of any person; physical damage to the Property; the presence or
release in, on, or about the Property, at any time, of any substance now or hereafter defined, listed, or
otherwise classified pursuant to any law, ordinance, or regulation as a hazardous, toxic, polluting, or
contaminating substance; or other injury or other damage occurring on or about the Property, unless such
injury or damage is caused by the Grantee or any agent, trustees, director, officer, employee, or independent
contractor of the Grantee. Except for publicly owned properties, in the event that the Grantor is required to
indemnify the Grantee pursuant to the terms of this paragraph, the amount of such indemnity, until
discharged, shall constitute a lien on the Property with the same effect and priority as a mechanic's lien.
Provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall jeopardize the priority of any recorded lien of
mortgage or deed of trust given in connection with a promissory note secured by the Property.
11. Taxes. The Grantor shall pay immediately, when first due and owing, all general taxes, special
taxes, special assessments, water charges, sewer service charges, and other charges which may become a
lien on the Property unless the Grantor timely objects to the amount or validity of the assessment or charge
and diligently prosecutes an appeal thereof, in which case the obligation hereunder to pay such charges shall
be suspended for the period permitted by law for prosecuting such appeal and any applicable grace period
following completion of such action. In place of the Grantor, the Grantee is hereby authorized, but is in no
event required or expected, to make or advance upon three (3) days prior written notice to the Grantor any
payment relating to taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rentals and other governmental or municipality
charge, fine, imposition, or lien asserted against the Property. The Grantee may make such payment
according to any bill, statement, or estimate procured from the appropriate public office without inquiry into
the accuracy of such bill, statement or assessment or into the validity of such tax, assessment, sale, or
forfeiture. Such payment if made by the Grantee shall constitute a lien on the Property with the same effect
and priority as a mechanic's lien, except that such lien shall not jeopardize the priority of any recorded lien
of mortgage or deed of trust given in connection with a promissory note secured by the Property.
12. Written Notice. Any notice which either the Grantor or the Grantee may desire or be required
to give to the other party shall be in writing and shall be delivered by one of the following methods: by
overnight courier postage prepaid, facsimile transmission, registered or certified mail with return receipt
requested, or hand delivery; if to the Grantor, then at [address], and if to the Grantee, then to [address].
Each party may change its address set forth herein by a written notice to such effect to the other
party.
13. Evidence of Compliance. Upon request by the Grantor, the Grantee shall promptly furnish the
Grantor with certification that, to the best of the Grantee's knowledge, the Grantor is in compliance with the
obligations of the Grantor contained herein or that otherwise evidences the status of this Agreement to the
extent of the Grantee's knowledge thereof.
6
14. Inspection. With the consent of the Grantor, representatives of the Grantee shall be permitted
at all reasonable times to inspect the Property [including the interior]. The Grantor covenants not to
withhold unreasonably its consent in determining dates and times for such inspections.
15. The Grantee's Remedies. The Grantee may, following reasonable written notice to the
Grantor, institute suit(s) to enjoin any violation of the terms of this agreement by ex parte, temporary,
preliminary, and/or permanent injunction, including prohibitory and/or mandatory injunctive relief, and to
require the restoration of the Property and Buildings to the condition and appearance that existed prior to the
violation complained of. The Grantee shall also have available all legal and other equitable remedies to
enforce the Grantor's obligations hereunder.
In the event the Grantor is found to have violated any of its obligations, the Grantor shall reimburse
the Grantee for any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the Grantee's enforcement of the terms of
this Agreement, including all reasonable court costs, and attorneys, architectural, engineering, and expert
witness fees.
Exercise by the Grantee of one remedy hereunder shall not have the effect of waiving or limiting
any other remedy, and the failure to exercise any remedy shall not have the effect of waiving or limiting the
use of any other remedy or the use of such remedy at any other time.
16. Notice from Government Authorities. The Grantor shall deliver to the Grantee copies of any
notice of violation or lien relating to the Property received by the Grantor from any government authority
within five (5) business days of receipt by the Grantor. Upon request by the Grantee, the Grantor shall

Agreement to potential new owners prior to sale closing.
18. Liens. Except for publicly owned properties, any lien on the Property created pursuant to any
paragraph of this Agreement may be confirmed by judgment and foreclosed by the Grantee in the same
manner as a mechanic's lien, except that no lien created pursuant to this Agreement shall jeopardize the
priority of any recorded lien of mortgage or deed of trust given in connection with a promissory note
secured by the Property.
19. Plaque. The Grantor agrees that the Grantee may (but is not required to) provide and maintain
a plaque on the Property, which plaque shall not exceed 24 by 24 inches in size, giving notice of the

7
Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, an owner of the Property shall have no
obligation pursuant to this instrument where such owner shall cease to have any ownership interest in the
Property by reason of a bona fide transfer. The restrictions, stipulations, and covenants contained in this
Agreement shall be inserted by the Grantor, verbatim or by express reference, in any subsequent deed or
other legal instrument by which the Grantor divests itself of either the fee simple title to or any lesser estate
in the Property or any part thereof, including by way of example and not limitation, a lease of all or a portion
of the Property.

continue to be carried out.
22. Recording and Effective Date. The Grantee shall do and perform at its own cost all acts
necessary to the prompt recording of this instrument in the land records of Roanoke County, Virginia. The
Grantor and the Grantee intend that the restrictions arising under this Agreement take effect on the day and

upon it, resulting from casualty. Extinguishment must be the result of a judicial proceeding in a court of
competent jurisdiction.
The Grantor may not repay the financial assistance received as a justification to ex tinguish the
Agreement.
23.2 Condemnation. If all or any part of the property is taken under the power of eminent domain
by public, corporate, or other authority, or otherwise acquired by such authority through a purchase in lieu
of a taking, the Grantor and the Grantee shall join in appropriate proceedings at the time of such taking to
recover full value of those interests in the Property that are subject to the taking and all incidental and direct
damages resulting from the taking. After the satisfaction of prior claims and net of expenses reasonably
incurred by the Grantor and the Grantee in connection with such taking, the Grantor and the Grantee shall be

(d) Nothing contained herein shall be interpreted to authorize or permit the Grantor to violate any
ordinance or regulation relating to building materials, construction methods, or use. In the event of any
conflict between any such ordinance or regulation and the terms hereof, the Grantor promptly shall notify
the Grantee of such conflict and shall cooperate with the Grantee and the applicable governmental entity to
accommodate the purposes of both this Agreement and such ordinance or regulation.
(e) To the extent that the Grantor owns or is entitled to development rights which may exist now or
at some time hereafter by reason of the fact that under any applicable zoning or similar ordinance the
Property may be developed to a more intensive use (in terms of height, bulk, or other objective criteria
related by such ordinances) than the Property is devoted as of the date hereof, such development rights shall
not be exercisable on, above, or below the Property during the term of the Agreement, nor shall they be

EXHIBIT A
Property Description
Gish Mill is located at 350 Gus Nicks Boulevard on a .61 acre lot that sits on the eastern side of
Gus Nicks Boulevard, just south of the Gus Nicks Boulevard bridge over Glade Creek in Vinton,
Virginia. Vinton is approximately 2.5 miles to the east of Roanoke, in the eastern end of Roanoke
County. The Roanoke River runs east-west approximately 1.25 miles to the south of Gish Mill. A
high school sits to the west of the mill, and a commercial building sits to the south.
The Mill sits within its parcel boundaries at a northwest-southeast orientation, echoing the angle of
the portion of Glade Creek that sits just below it, to the north. A residential neighborhood is located
on the north side of Glade Creek. A roughly paved parking lot and entry line the eastern and
southeastern edges of the building, and a small grassy bank and metal guardrail separate the parcel
from Gus Nicks Boulevard. Large trees run along between the building and Glade Creek.
Gish Mill is a three-story mill constructed with brick in a six-course common bond, with several
additions constructed between c.1930 and 1955. The three-story brick central portion was the first
section constructed c.1846. A gambrel roof clad in metal caps this portion of the mill, and the third
story façade is clad in aluminum siding. The foundation is uncoursed stone. Wooden, 6/6 double-
hung windows pierce the second story, though many of the windows are boarded, including those
on the third floor. A loading dock was constructed with concrete blocks along the southwest facing
façade c.1940. The base of the loading dock has an applied stone veneer. A metal-clad canopy
shelters the loading dock and a parapet wall extends east from the bottom of the c.1846 gambrel
roof to the roof of the one-story section.
A concrete block addition, built c.1930, extends from the northwestern end of the original three-
story block. It has a shed roof clad in metal, with exposed rafter tails along the northwestern end. A
shed-roof penthouse extends from the third story of the original block, running northwest along the
c.1930s addition. This pent-house contains a conveyor belt.
From the southeastern end of the original c.1846 section is a c.1940s addition, constructed in two
phases. A concrete foundation supports the L-shaped addition that remains flush with the original
structure along the façade. Metal siding covers the exterior walls and shed roof. Windows on the
front and rear elevations are covered with plywood boards, and double-hung, 1/1 window openings
remain behind the boards along the façade. A six-light casement window also remains behind one
of the plywood boards. The second building campaign of the 1940s extended the previous addition
to the south and is clad with metal siding.
Extending to the southeast from the final 1940s building effort is a post-1955 addition. A concrete
foundation supports the triangular shaped section, built along the trajectory of Glade Creek. This
section is wood-frame with metal siding and is capped by a shed roof, also clad in metal. Three
12
sliding freight doors pierce the façade of this section, the easternmost of which retains a concrete
loading dock and ramp.
An additional post-1955 addition extends westward from the shed-roofed c.1930s addition. A
metal-clad shed roof caps the one-story concrete block section. A shorter 1-story addition sits just
south of this addition, between it and the concrete loading dock. It has a metal clad shed roof, and
its concrete block foundation is clad with a stone veneer. Vertical boards clad the exterior walls.
Still remaining on the interior of Gish Mill are historic timber columns and beams, as well as
exposed brick walls and wooden rafters. Non-historic materials exist in an area that was most
recently occupied by a store. Some equipment still remains in the building.
