Description
The City of Bismarck is seeking a qualified consultant to conduct a Class III intensive architectural survey of the Downtown area. The survey will include conducting thorough background research, establishing a period(s) of significance, and completing and submitting a draft and final written report and all associated site forms for the Class III. The project will look at structures built on or before 1980 and will evaluate the historic buildings in the project area to see if they still meet eligibility criteria or contribute to additional time periods of significance or to additional themes to the current District.
• The project area includes 151 parcels, with 77 parcels located within the current NRHP historic district boundary and 74 parcels surrounding this boundary.
• The consultant will be responsible for conducting archival research, historical narrative, and an intensive level survey of buildings and structures within the identified survey boundary.
• The consultant will also be responsible for updating existing documentation of any previously recorded cultural resources within the survey area and providing a historic context and architectural themes for the development of the survey area.
• The project is expected to be completed by June 30, 2027, and the consultant will be required to submit regular progress updates to the City of Bismarck.
