• PROJECT TASKS AND DESCRIPTION Introduction The City of Elk River(the City), through its Heritage Preservation Commission(HPC), is seeking a qualified consultant to assist in preparing a historic context study of the City and a focused historic resources survey (Phase 1) of its downtown area. The boundaries of the focused resource survey area, as exhibited in the City's Request for Proposal (RFP), contains approximately 210 properties within an approximate 122-acre land area. The City has requested that a portion of the project will result in a comprehensive inventory and report of historic sites within the focused study area relating to the historic contexts identified for the City, as well as recommendations for the eligibility of properties based on both the eight standards found in Section 900.10 (21) (C) of the Elk River Code of Ordinances for rezoning to Heritage Preservation Overlay Zoning District and the four criteria for determining eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Additionally, the City is requesting a scope of work and budget to conduct a Phase II evaluation for up to ten properties within the study area. The 106 Group has reviewed the RFP as issued by the City and has determined that it will not be able to fully meet the requirements as outlined in the RFP for the specified budget of$12,000.00. Following is an outline of the scope of work that can be provided by The 106 Group within the $12,000 budget limit. Not all items requested in the RFP will be met within this scope of work. • Task 1. Research Design and Historic Context Study • A research design following the Secretary of the Interior's Guidelines for Identification will be prepared for the City to guide the present historic context study and future survey and evaluation studies. • The 106 Group will work with the HPC and City staff to prepare a historic context study of the City. Research will be undertaken at the Minnesota State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), the Minnesota Historical Society (MHS), the Sherburne County Historical Society, the City offices, and other relevant repositories to develop the historic context. Task 2: Survey Overview • The 106 Group will not be able to conduct a full Phase I survey of the properties within the study area, nor will Phase II (determination of eligibility) be performed under this scope of work. The 106 Group can provide an overview assessment and digital photographic documentation of all of the buildings and structures over 50 years of age within the study area. This information will be provided in a summary format, listing the address, property type and style, keyed to digital photographs of II/ each property. Individual inventory forms for each property will not be produced
