Beacon of the Sentinels Repair

The City of Pendleton, Oregon is requesting proposals for repair and restoration of the Beacon of the Sentinels sculpture and its surrounding pavilion, with proposals due July 28, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. local time.

The scope includes removing existing vertical brick tiles from the pavilion walls that were improperly spaced and grouted, installing replacement tiles according to a pre-approved design, and providing recommendations for future maintenance. The Beacon, a bronze sculpture installed in 2017 honoring the five branches of the military with tile work recognizing veterans, requires comprehensive documentation and photographic coverage throughout the project, site setup and equipment logistics, and formal project reporting.

Proposers must submit itemized cost proposals covering documentation, reporting, preparation, conservation treatments, equipment rental, and lodging if applicable, with all costs including labor, materials, equipment, and incidental expenses. The RFP encourages separate bids for tile replacement and stucco covering. Qualifications must include a summary of relevant experience, examples of comparable completed projects with references, relevant professional certifications or affiliations, general commercial liability insurance, and resumes of key personnel.

Evaluation criteria are relevant experience and qualifications, understanding of the project and proposed approach, past performance and references, cost and value, and ability to meet schedule. Cost will be considered but is not the sole determining factor in selection.

The selected consultant must comply with applicable local, state, and federal regulations and recognized professional conservation standards while coordinating with City staff throughout the project. Proposals should be submitted to Stephanie Huffman at stephanie.huffman@pendletonor.gov or via postal mail to the City of Pendleton.
