Sources Sought Questionnaire – Consultation Services

FRRI 274611, Bus Burning Site Master Plan & Memorial FRRI is seeking consultant services to develop a comprehensive master plan (including memorial design, site planning, and environmental compliance documentation) for the Bus Burning Site of the newly designated Freedom Riders National Monument. The site sits in Calhoun County, Alabama, and is the location where a violent mob set fire to a bus of Freedom Riders during the 1961 Freedom Rides, a movement to challenge discriminatory state laws and local customs that required racial segregation on buses and in bus station facilities. The bus burning site has the potential to serve as a place to commemorate the sacrifice of the Freedom Riders and to contemplate the ongoing struggle for equality and the need for racial reconciliation and healing. A heavy stakeholder engagement component will be required of this project. The effort will require specialized expertise in civic engagement with communities of color, as well as the ability to understand and convey particularly sensitive stories through landscape development and memorial design. The four primary skillsets required to inform scope of work for this effort include strong community and partner engagement expertise, master planning, landscape architecture, and memorial design.
