RFP: Historic Preservation Consultation & SHPO Clearance for CDBG-Funded Demolition

RFP: Historic Preservation Consultation & SHPO Clearance for CDBG-Funded Demolition

The North Country Rural Development Coalition (NRDC), serving as grant administrator for a CDBG Imminent Threat award, is soliciting proposals from qualified historic-preservation consultants to complete SHPO and Section 106 environmental review coordination for the demolition of one blighted structure listed on or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. The consultant will prepare, submit, and manage all documentation through the New York State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) via the CRIS portal to obtain written clearance authorizing demolition in compliance with 24 CFR Part 58 and 36 CFR Part 800.

The property has been declared an imminent public safety hazard and is slated for demolition with CDBG Imminent Threat funds.
Because federal funding is involved and the property is historically significant, the project requires Section 106 consultation and coordination with SHPO prior to any demolition activity or obligation of funds.

Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (MWBE), Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO), and Section 3 businesses are strongly encouraged to apply. All contractors must adhere to federal and state EEO requirements and Section 3 regulations.
