II. 2025 Historic Preservation Fund Grant Cycle
The City has been awarded a Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) grant by the Department of
Community Affairs Historic Preservation Division (HPD) for the purpose of assisting with
updates to the historic resource survey for the Downtown Business District (DBD) historic
district. Selected applications will be announced no earlier than March 18, 2026. No work
related to the RFP shall take place before this date or before all award requirements have been
met.
Revisions to this RFP scope of work may be required once the winning grant applications are
announced. Revisions, if any, will be discussed with the consultant after the announcement.
III. SCOPE OF SERVICES AND PROJECT BUDGET
The City adopted five (5) historic districts (districts) between 2004 and 2010:
1. Cherokee- Cassville
2. Granger Hill
3. Olde Town
4. West End
5. Downtown Business District (DBD).
Historic resources surveys are required to be updated every 10 years by HPD. This will be the
first update to the surveys since the DBD district was adopted in 2004.
Within the (5) districts there are at least (630) parcels. One Hundred Fifty Five (155) properties
have been identified within DBD. Of these, (135) properties are grant funding eligible for the
resource survey based on the 40-years or older criteria for the age of the properties. The
consultant will produce updates to the historic resource surveys for the (135) grant eligible
properties in the DBD district. The City also asks that resource surveys be created or updated for
all non-grant eligible properties in the DBD historic district.
A breakdown of the number of parcels within the DBD district is provided with the historic
district maps and spreadsheets in the Appendix. Due to the grant requirements, the cost proposal
should include a separate line item for survey updates to the (135) grant eligible properties and a
separate line item for survey updates to the remaining non-grant eligible properties,
approximately (20).
Not all parcels at the time of initial adoption had a survey. At least one parcel was identified as
being in the district when it was, in fact, not in the district. New parcels have also been created
since 2004 through subdivision or development processes. The consultant will be responsible for
K:\HPC\CLG Grant\2025\RFP\GHRS Update_RFP 2025_REV 12-16-25.doc
creating surveys for the parcels with no surveys. Staff will assist with identifying any remaining
parcels without a survey.
The consultant will have access to all digital and paper files and surveys associated with the
district on file with the City.
Historic resource surveys should be completed according to standards and parameters defined in
the Georgia Historic Resources Survey Manual Survey forms and addendums used for new
surveys or survey updates should be acquired from Georgia Historic Preservation Division
(HPD) as they are used for GNAHRGIS and in the field to gather the information needed to
record a resource in GNAHRGIS. The form lists all questions that should ideally be answered
about each resource, and the addendum presents all possible answers for those questions that are
multiple-choice in GNAHRGIS.
Unless otherwise directed by HPD, the consultant will be responsible for submitting completed
surveys to HPD for review and comment until survey submissions are fully accepted by HPD.
The consultant shall be responsible for submitting a draft of the final survey report to HPD and
to the City for review. The City will be responsible for submitting the final survey report to
HPD through NRTigers.
Unless otherwise directed by HPD or City staff, the consultant will also be responsible for
updating the GNAHRGIS database with new and updated surveys. The consultant will
coordinate with the City to ensure that any required logins and passwords are mutually agreed
upon and shared.
The resource numbers from any previous surveys and the present survey should be cross-
referenced and documented.
All new and updated surveys shall be submitted to the City in PDF digital format. The consultant
will also submit any Microsoft Excel files documenting the properties surveyed to the City.
Images should be in color and submitted in JPEG format or other format as agreed to by the City.
Funding for a portion of the project has been secured in the 2025-26 city budget effective July 1,
2025. The City has also received a grant award for the 2025 HPF grant cycle. Refer to Section
II.
This is a reimbursable project. All invoices will be processed per HPD requirements.
