Heritage Preservation Planning and Interpretation Service

The Town of Port Deposit, Maryland, requests expressions of interest for a maritime heritage preservation planning and interpretation project centered on the waterfront. The agency needs cultural resources consultants, preservation professionals, historians, archaeologists, or academic institutions to establish a foundation for future interpretation through research, documentation, archaeology, oral history, or archival work. Eligible applicants include onshore United States organizations, and the work will be performed offsite. Applicants must submit responses digitally via email or online in PDF format by 4:00 PM on October 23, 2026, though a secondary text reference lists October 24, 2026. Submissions must identify team leadership, qualifications, and comparable project experience, alongside evidence of insurance listing the town as a named insured. The town evaluates proposals based on relevant experience weighted at 25%, with detailed scopes and fees negotiated per task under a contract lasting up to three years with two two-year renewal options.
