Historic Preservation Master Plan Consulting Services

The Mercer County government authority in Trenton, New Jersey is seeking historic preservation master plan consulting services to guide its preservation efforts. The agency needs a qualified consultant to manage stakeholder engagement, draft the master plan, and secure official adoption. This initiative aims to establish a comprehensive framework for preserving historical assets through a collaborative, community-driven planning process. The scope of work covers five distinct phases over a one-year contract period. The selected consultant will first design and execute an initial stakeholder engagement process to gather community input. Following this feedback, the consultant will collaborate with Planning Department staff to author the first draft of the plan, which must include professional graphic design, figures, tables, and GIS mapping. The agency requires the consultant to facilitate a second round of stakeholder engagement to gather feedback on the initial draft. After incorporating these comments, the consultant will develop the final draft of the plan in coordination with Planning Department staff. The project culminates with the consultant presenting the final plan to the County Planning Board for official adoption. Only United States organizations are eligible to bid on this opportunity. The selected vendor will perform all contract work offsite. Bidders must submit their proposals digitally via email or through the designated online portal, and the agency is currently open to all budget proposals. The agency has set the deadline for all clarification questions for May 29, 2026. Bidders must monitor the procurement portal for any subsequent addenda or schedule adjustments. The agency will evaluate proposals based on the consultant's demonstrated ability to deliver the requested engagement, drafting, and presentation services.
