Operation and Rehabilitation of Historic Facilities Services

The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation is seeking information and ideas for the operation and rehabilitation of historic facilities within the state. The agency is trying to solve the problem of finding compatible, productive uses and self-sustaining operations that protect the historic value of the properties while furthering recreational, preservation, and community service missions. This initiative aims to establish a mutually beneficial public-private partnership that informs management decisions and shapes a future Request for Proposals or partnering process. The scope of work requests compatible ideas for productive uses, operations, new services, and programs, including the potential development of innovative attractions. Submissions must include feasible ideas, related development recommendations, scenarios, assumptions, and contingencies. The agency will use this gathered information to identify realistic ideas that can adapt these historic facilities into self-sustaining operations. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations based in the United States of America. The agency requires the performance of the work to take place offsite. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for proposals to understand the financial landscape of the suggested concepts. No key dates are specified in the sourcing details.
