Interpretive Strategic Plans, Historical Research and Content Development Services

The agency is seeking a vendor to provide interpretive planning, historical research, oral history collection, and interpretive content development services. The project aims to document site use across designated Historic periods and establish a clear framework for managing historical assets. To achieve this, the selected contractor must conduct a literature review, archival research, field reconnaissance, and compile relevant agency plans, including the Comprehensive Park System Master Plan and the Fairview Park Development and Management Plan. The scope of work requires the development of an historical overview in collaboration with Tribal partners and the creation of an Interpretive Database containing all assets, references, oral histories, and materials. The contractor must identify and map remnants of historic structures, such as retaining walls, foundation depressions, and saved bricks, while coordinating with agency environmental consultants regarding archaeological requirements. Required deliverables include an Existing Conditions Report, the Interpretive Database, and an Asset Inventory Map. The agency also requires the development of a Significance Statement to define overall management and program goals, which must identify both opportunities and challenges. The contractor must identify the project team, including subject matter experts, partners, stakeholders, affiliated interest groups, and community members. The contract period will span one year, and all work must be performed offsite. Eligible bidders must be located onshore within the United States. The agency has not disclosed a set budget and is looking for proposals to determine the cost. The source document does not contain specific evaluation criteria or key dates for this opportunity.
