Cost_Formula-reward_average_cost_for_RFP.docx

This is a cost formula document related to an RFP for Pre-Development & Adaptive Use Assessment services issued by the City of New Haven Parks Department in Connecticut. The document establishes the methodology for calculating reward costs based on average cost formulas for the proposed architectural services contract. The project requires a qualified historical architect to conduct a comprehensive conditions assessment of the Edgerton Park Carriage House and Greenhouse, including evaluation of overall building conditions, guidance on retrofitting heating and cooling systems to meet climate and energy efficiency goals, and recommendations for adaptive reuse to support community programming and events, including potential installation of a commercial kitchen. The assessment must comply with State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) standards and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties, with the consultant team meeting federal qualifications standards under 36 CFR Part 61. The resulting report will include preliminary cost estimates and will be publicly shared through the New Haven Parks website and a public meeting coordinated with Edgerton Park Conservancy.

The cost formula document establishes the basis for calculating contract compensation using average cost methodology as the reward mechanism. The project is funded by grant funds from the Community Investment Account administered by the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development, State Historic Preservation Office. The assessment outcomes are intended to guide future investment decisions and community reinvestment in stabilizing and redeveloping these historic structures to maximize their utility as community resources for programming, events, and educational purposes.
